Doesnt matter if it is untrue. I dont spend my hard earned money there. Their customer service is lacking. Their knowledge is even worse and their product is even worse than that. WM has went down hill over the last ten years or so. Cant stand the place and will not go there.
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

Still not much at my Wally Mart. Did see a couple of boxes of 7.62x39 (those lasted about 5 minutes) and about 4 or 5 boxes of Tula 9mm (those were still there when I left).
Still no limit at my Wally Mart.

The thing to really consider is they announced this just days after they had a meeting with the VP and his board of misfits. Me thinks they were either threatened from anything with audits to new taxes or........ warned........Time will tell.

threatened with union thugs...
I just read an article that the anti's are protesting at a Wal Mart that doesn't even sell guns

Same story, I was told the press release was carefully worded to deny something they are doing. They sporting goods person told me call the 800 custumer service because they will listen.

Bill stopped at our local WalMart on his way home this evening. Had a great conversation with one of the long term employee's.
He pretty much confirmed the reason behind the bare ammo shelves.
WalMart's CEO is siding with Obama. Unless something drastic happens, you will no longer see anymore ammo inside of a WalMart.
He is your friend defender your dog. Be worthy of such devotion

I Hadn’t been to A china-mart since about 94 or 5 until today . I went for the sole purpose of finding out what all the ruckus was .
I went to the sporting goods they still had "hunting" rifles on display I asked for a bulk(100count) box of 38sp because the spot was empty. the guy pointed the little scan gun thingy and it read none in stock,none in the wear house,none on order . He done others that were not on the shelf such as 9mm 44mag 45acp 22 bulk Winchester it also read the same thing.
you call it what you want but I stood in the pit of he77 feelin like a traitor and seen the scan thing for myself for what it's worth . I'm just another American not affiliated with any news paper,blog or Gov. agency just a couple forums lookin for what I could find out for myself and now shared the finding with anyone that reads this.
The mom and pop farmstore I actually spend $ with had 2 pallets of ammo sittin in the floor to be stocked .I didn’t check what it was I'm pretty boyscout for now just needed biscuits for the dogs .
A body at rest tends to stay at rest. A body in motion tends to be lookin for a place to rest.

I heard this today as well. Went in to check on the 223. There was none. I saw a few boxes of 9mm. Two 50 round boxes, and then some HD rounds in boxes of 20.
I was told they won't be getting anymore ammo in stock temporarily and that once they sell off everything on the shelves that was it.

I'm going to be sure to let them know. You can't tell me that if every gun owner took a similar position, it would not affect their business. The lines are being drawn, and we're seeing who comes down on which side of the line. My money will go to stores that support our 2nd amendment rights....not to prostitute-whore stores that grovel at the altar of Obama.

Don't complain about the decision Wal Mart has made. STOP SHOPPING there! I stopped years ago and have encouraged everybody I can to do the same. Not just because of anything firearms related but that adds ammo to position. -Mickey

I havent called the 800 phone and I should, the salesperson said Walmart fears customers more than the president. If anyone is going to boycott Walmart then pls call them and let them know why you're doing it. You might receive a quicker resolution to the concern.
