    I have never open carried st Wal-Mart and the last ammo I bought was 22 cal bulk at less than 20 bucks.
    Sorry to see no nire8ammo there though. Just be better for other places like academy.
    SG Ammo is where I get it when I do. But did like knowing it was right there on the self if I wanted it

    Open Carry creates more issues than it resolves.
    SGAMMO for ammunition and a real firearms store for firearms.

    Have you seen the people at Wal-Mart lately? Personally I'm GLAD they can't "open carry"... Every time its a dire emergency and I have to force myself to visit "The Wal Marts"... I am glad I have my concealed carry permit.

    P.S. - I've never purchased AMMO from Wal-Mart (Maybe Academy... but always my local gun store) since finding out their employees were hording .22LR during the shortage and selling it on the side for jacked up prices.

    At least they specifically said "Open Carry"... apparently the higher-ups understand not making Wal-Mart a "Gun Free Zone".

    They are a private company doing what they want.
    I bet the Kenner one makes almost nothi g on Ammo I and the Manager is happy the PITA locked case will be gone.
    The Spray paint is also locked up.
    Hurry up and wait. I go to the store 1 or 2 times a year.

    You are correct. I wonder when online venders will have a policy change?

    Assuming the online vendors you are speaking of are ammunition vendors, it's unlikely they will limit their profits by removing specific calibers.

    I normally bought about 400 rounds a month from Wally World. Federal brass. Not a bad price and an easier sell to the bookkeeper instead of 1000 rounds every 6or so weeks. It worries me that this just another option going away due to left idiotic pressure. When Dicks made policy change it seemed the gun community freaked out. But with Walmart it seems as if we are becoming use to it. Sorry but I don’t think it will stop at Walmart. I shop at HEB so besides the ammo it’s not a big deal. Let’s hope it’s the last business to limit law abiding citizens choices.

    Private businesses can do as they please.

    If your funds weren't monitored by your "book keeper," you could buy bulk online like most of us do.

    It's not Wal-Mart's fault that you let your wife take over the bank account.

    So Walmart caved in to David Hoggs demands....unreal If that wasn't enough, Walmart sent a letter to Congress demanding they basically "Do Something" to further infringe on the 2nd A.
