Thought I was going to get harrassed or arrested by the cops at Wal-mart today

The store near me has a bunch of Jamaican guys running the sporting goods counter.

Prior to it discontinuing all ammo sales a few months ago, whenever I'd ask for as much as 4 boxes (HOLY MOLY!!!!! WOWEE!!! THAT'S A TON OF AMMO! :rolleyes: ), I'd be asked, "Mon, whych you waunt that mush ammow mon?" to which I'd be left wondering, "What the heck did he just say? Was that English?"
 
"How about you don't go to Wal-Marx anymore. Spend your money at gun shops."

What if you live in a place with no gun stores? Sault Ste Marie, MI has a Wal Mart, Dunhams, and Leitz Sport Center. Those are my choices for buying ammo, and considering that the sport center sells quads, motorcycles, snow mobiles, kayaks, skis, snow shoes and guns, how much shelf space is devoted to ammo? The only "gun store" in a 50 mile radius sells used guns and no ammo. Whoever posted here that he wanted big box stores to sell guns was absolutely right.
 
Just a question for you other folks who live around Wal-Marts that still sell ammo; do they keep ALL ammo behind locked cabnets? I'm just wondering, because the only ammo they keep locked up is pistol at the Wal-Mart here.
IIRC, the shotgun shells and .22 ammo are out on the shelf. Anyway, the 550 bulk packs of .22 are always out on the shelf - that's all that I ever buy at walmart.
 
What they have in the store depends a great deal on who is running the section, and how much they sell. I am fortunate that the WalMart closest to me has a "gun guy" running the sporting goods, a collector and shooter himself. He always has plenty in stock, unless something happens and they short him on shipment.

I was in there a couple of days ago, getting my usual 9mm WWB and asked about .45 since I didn't see any at all. He said it didn't arrive with the rest of the shipment, so he had increased his order to 20,000 rounds and he would have plenty next week. I asked about 9mm quantities and he told me he generally gets 25,000 rounds of the 9mm at a time and always likes to have at least 2,000 rounds in stock. He sells me whole cases, but the manager won't let him discount it any more. They usually have a good assortment in the case and the rest is kept in the back.

I don't know about your store but I think if I asked him to stock ammo they didn't have he would probably start ordering it. He will order any shotgun or rifle, the WalMart website lists everything that is available, which is a much bigger selection that what they normally stock in any of the stores.

They just remodeled and took out the two round gun cases and put in a long case on the wall. Apparently guns and ammo move pretty quickly in that store, so they are going to stay.
 
Unlocked

At the stores here, the only thing NOT locked up, or at least behind and underneath the counter, are shotgun shells.

Anything that has a slug in a brass/steel/aluminum case is under lock & key or under the counter.

And they've started carrying Blazer Brass in .40 S&W and .45 ACP, priced so that 2x50 costs less than WWB 1x100.

Guys, we want Wally World to keep carrying guns & ammo.

Call and write. It's not hard.

They don't come out here and read the boards.

We have to go to them.
