My dad said back in the day a fur trapper could mail his furs to Sears & Roebuck and order things in exchange- like firearms and ammo. I can imagine if someone sent them furs now.
Sounds like they missed the redneck money after all. I am including me in that bit of humor because I bought fabric there and hubby bought ammo. Walmart was trying to lose the redneck customers and got rid of everything they thought we would want. Seems like the politically correct upscale liberal shoppers didn’t show up.
Then the name of their store is false advertising and the shady lawyer from The Simpsons should sue. Or maybe Jackie Chiles is available.
KMart did the same thing before thye went bankrupt. I wonder who advised them to try that? There does not seem to any shortage of idiot consultants for retailers.
Me Walmart in Central Texas never stopped selling guns or ammo either. It does seem like they cut down a bit though.
“all but a third”
Weird phrasing of statistics, trying to create an impression of a ratio which isn’t there.
Maybe they named it after the surveying target.
And yes, picking up a case of ammo there is sensible amidst the rest of the shopping list.
Not unusual to browse around and notice a good price on ammo, and take advantage of the opportunity. I get my birdshot loads there.
Know a guy who, during the run on ammo, saw some was available at the local Walmart. “I’ll take some 9mm.” “How much you want?” “How much you got?” “3000 rounds.” “Sold.”
LOL!
As the economy tanks, more and more of the effete posturing and preening is going to fall by the wayside. When things are going well, you can afford apple-polishing nonsense like solar panels and banning guns. But when times are lean, you gotta give the people what they want.
Not a gun in sight here in Travis County. But, ammo is plentiful and cheap at WallyWorld.
I remember when Wal-Mart sold Glocks, etc. They quit selling them years ago, but I don’t recall a precipitous drop in gun-related crimes where they did that.
