The stance on Open Carry seems a little circular to me. Folks don't openly carry guns as much anymore so the populace in general isn't used to seeing it. So, when some urbanite sees a dude walk into a rural Walmart in camo with a shotgun over his shoulder, they freak out. The solution to that doesn't, to me, seem to be making it even LESS likely that they will see a regular joe walking around with a gun and not doing anything naughty. I'd think that would just make the problem of people being scared of any and all guns worse, not better. It would seem the problem could also be resolved by making normal folks with guns a more common sight. I have been to at least one Walmart location around deer season where camo-clad folks with rifles or shotguns over their shoulder were a common sight. No one freaked out and no one got shot or arrested. It was just normal. Acting like carrying a gun is scary and abnormal doesn't sit right with me. Of course, in my community murder and assault with a deadly weapon aren't real big problems, so there isn't much reason to be afraid or guns, knives, clubs, or whatever. I suppose some folks may legitimately worry more about getting murdered or assaulted in their community than I do. In their case, I can see how someone strolling around with a deadly weapon might be a cause for alarm...of course, I would think more than just guns would cause them alarm. You would think Jojo the nutjob walking down the street with his mail-order katana strapped to his back probably freaks those folks out just as bad as if he had a glock shoved down the front of his pants. Of course, I'm preaching to the choir here. You probably don't read this website if you are a fan of gun control as a response to mass murders. - Bret | |||

Well, I can't boycott Wal Mart, since I almost never go there. (Although I generally don't believe such boycotts are effective.) Too bad to loose a competitor in the retail ammo market. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Sears, Western Auto, etc. stopped selling firearms about 50 years ago. I have some old InterArms 7.5x55 ammo that has a Kroger (grocery store chain) price tag sticker...when's the last time you could buy ammo in a grocery store? Walmart not selling ammo is not the end of ammunition availability...nor a new, disturbing trend. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Yet other general retailers picked up the slack AKA K-Mart and Wal-Mart, if they sell ammo or not that's not a problem per se, however, engaging in anti gun ownership tactics and joining with the left to craft legislation in states or federal levels is a problem, that signals the intent of the leadership to be involved in political actions against gun owners. | |||

It seems you've missed the point completely.
Again missing the point. The big picture here is not the ammo. Read this douchebag CEO's statement. The issue are these virtue signaling, cowards who are running these companies. They are purposefully disregarding half the country. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

Ammo aint the issue, although I couldn't beat Walmart's ammo prices most of the time. The People are now governed by private entities who are, however directly or indirectly, supported by the government; these companies will continue to support these "causes" and pressure the government to follow the same fad trends as they. ____________________________ While you may be able to get away with bottom shelf whiskey, stay the hell away from bottom shelf tequila. - FishOn | |||

Interesting to point out that it appears this little blurb might have scrubbed from updates news of dickmart shitting the bed: "Walmart also last month said it would be pulling violent video game displays out of stores following the shootings." So what is it causing these shootings walmart? Guns and ammo or video games? Walmart, the gun grabbers from the 1990s called and they want their explanation of mass shootings back. ___________________________________Sigforum - port in the fake news storm.____________Be kind to the Homeless.

Well, that’s the last they’ll see of me. Unfortunately, the local gun stores still think it’s 2013. CCI 22 at $8.50 for 50. The gun shows still sell Ammo that looks it’s been hauled around since the Nixon/Lodge days. Honest to God, a couple of years ago I bought some 22. When I peeled off the price sticker it was celebrating Y2K. Thanks a lot WM, screw you and your righteous bullshit. The ghetto dwellers who shop there don’t really GAF as long as you take EBT.

The "short barrel rifle ammunition" that they're discontinuing also includes .300 Blackout and .224 Valkyrie as well, according to an infographic Walmart just released. (Apparently "short barrel rifle ammunition" is the new "fully semiautomatic assault rifle" or "high capacity magazine clip"... Some phrase that sounds impressively technical yet vaguely threatening to people who know nothing about guns, but is actually nonsense.  ) | |||

Nope. Neither does Sam's Club (which is owned by Wal-Mart anyway). | |||

Well, apparently they're not just burning to get out of the market - at 31 cents per round after tax ($58 retail per 200-round bulk box) for WWB 55 grain FMJ, they don't even have a decent sale going on. | |||

They don’t have to. The panic buying idiots will gobble it up with quickness now that this is getting lots of media coverage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Just more Virtue Signaling by another corporate CEO imbecile! Seriously, exactly how do these 'brilliant' corporate douchebags come to the conclusion that it's a good idea to piss off a large percentage of their customer base? Let's see....How'd that work out for Dick's, or Gillette? ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

Open carry, ( primarily of handguns ) is still fairly common around here, though less so in Savannah. The wm's in outlying communities have a number of bubba's with hi-points carried in nylon holsters who probably won't realize this change until they're confronted in the stores.

Its not just that the largest retailer in the US is stopping ammo sales, its that they are in lock step with anti gunner agenda, just look at the steps they have taken, Dropped AR, Stopped Selling ammo, next is handguns in AK, the CEO's full letter states they want out of the gun market and support restricting gun sales and ownership. Its highlighted below. He's echoing the core management agenda which is almost verbatim the anti-gunner groups positions, their tactic is failing in court and in the legislative halls, so they are going to go directly at the source. Will someone else take up the slack, yes but not at the lower price point, LGS are happy as heck, they can now raise prices, especially on the poor gun owners in states where Internet shipping is illegal, and that's part of the plan, since they can't win in court, they take the fight to the street, corporate boardrooms etc.... Paypal, Bank of America, other financial institutions are blocking CC access to firearms dealers, you can't post guns on Ebay or gun products or pay for them with Paypal.... Excerpt from Letter Finally, we encourage our nation’s leaders to move forward and strengthen background checks and to remove weapons from those who have been determined to pose an imminent danger. We do not sell military-style rifles, and we believe the reauthorization of the Assault Weapons ban should be debated to determine its effectiveness. We must also do more, as a country, to understand the root causes that lead to this type of violent behavior. Today, I’m sending letters to the White House and the Congressional leadership that call for action on these common sense measures . As we’ve seen before, these horrific events occur and then the spotlight fades. We should not allow that to happen. Congress and the administration should act. Given our decades of experience selling firearms, we are also offering to serve as a resource in the national debate on responsible gun sales. | |||
