Looks like WalMart is taking a conservative position on gun sales and only selling to in state residents. What can we do? Let's see - many people here will simply start to bash WalMart - what idiots blah blah blah.
In my view this is the wrong approach. WalMart is the only national general retailer that still sells guns. Sears and KMart gave up long ago. Target never carried them at all.
So we can either keep whining at WalMart's shortcomings when it comes to gun sales (and I agree there are certainly many shortcomings) or perhaps instead we can appreciate the fact that despite pressure from liberal low lifes like OBAMA, WalMart still sells guns and ammo.
If we give them enough crap then WM will stop selling guns and ammo altogether. Why not the liberals already want them to stop and if we the gun owning community just complain that they don't do a good enough job selling guns where's the win for WM? If that happens we (gun owners) lose as the liberal left has succeeded in removing guns and ammo from every national general retailer in the USA.
One more thing - WalMart sells cheap stuff. If you want a quality bicycle you won't find it at WalMart. Same is true for higher end guns and ammo. Low price, low selection and low service is WM's approach in any department not just the gun department. If you want better service selection go to a specialty shop - but you will pay more. There is no free lunch.
So if i buy a 1/22 at Walmart it's somehow not as good as the one i buy at BPS or Dicks? That makes ZERO sense

It's obviously 9 times less quality than a 10/22.
No. The quality is only 4.090909 time less. 10 divided by 22. You then multiply that number by the 9 to get your answer.
But I've run across a total of one reasonably knowledgable WM gun dept person ( who happened to be female ). WM has put a bazillion LGS out of business. And on a store by store and region by region basis , will quickly throw the gun dept under the bus to get favorable zoning/ licensing to open or expand store(s).
Buy in Delaware and avoid the sales tax. Don't help out O'Malley!!!!
Well I was in a DE Walmart tonight and was speaking with the dept mgr. I noticed that the muzzleloader section was gone and ask what happened.
He said that they were told to remove them from the wall and return them to the depot immediately (last week). They wouldn't give him an answer as to why.
I haven't checked any other Walmarts yet but will over the next few days.
Remember the clearance sale that was going on a week or two there (i.e. Sig716 for $997)? I wonder if something grander is going on?
