Walmart Is Not Ordering Anymore Ammo
Investment Watch ^ | 01/12/13 | Darrell

Posted on 01/13/2013 6:40:55 PM PST by johnsmom

Stopped by my local Wal Mart this morning. They are out of almost every kind of ammo. I asked to talk to the person in charge of ordering to see if they had any information on this subject. The manager I talked to said they had not heard anything…BUT. She tried to order some .223 as I was standing there. She said the order was being rejected by the corporate...

While the NRA met with Biden on January 10th...ERIC HOLDER met with WALMART. It appears the Holder/Walmart meeting was quite a bit more "productive" than Sloppy Joe's.

My personal opinion is that it is not a smart idea.

It may be rejected because they can’t get anymore from the supplier.

At least I hope thats why and that its local.

I shop at Walmart all the time. This is reason to stop.

Problem is, Walmart only cares about those EBT cards the get refilled the first of every month.

They don't make that much money off the working people. It's the EBT people that they cater to.

Oh Good Lord, folks at WM do not call in for orders. All inventory needs are software generated. I don’t believe anything about this story.

I don’t believe this. I live in the South and Walmart makes a boatload of money down here during hunting season.

If Jimmy Carter gave us Ronald Reagan, what kind of president can we expect after this regime?

This same story reappears all the time.

My bet is the order is being rejected because there is no ammo in the distribution pipeline.

The government probably bought it all up.

All the guns I was interested in buying are out of stock. Me and my brothers were going to go shopping after Christmas and everything all of us was interested in is sold out. Some of the stores have updated their websites to explain that they could be out of stock for a long while. I am not even talking about any of the rifles on the ban list. People are going into these stores and just buying whatever is available at this point. It’s panic buying in some places.

Not true. Wal-Mart IS still stocking ammo, but it is selling so fast manufacturers can NOT supply to retail outlets.

Crap! I just bought some 45 ACP at Walmart. My wife asked me why I hadn’t bought double. She’s a wise woman.

walmart was low on ammo the last time i puchased there. it could be that they just can’t get any right now (due to obama’s threats). however, walmart needs to be watched closely and rebuked (boycotted) if necessary.

This is true. I worked at a Walmart before. All ordering is computer generated. That little handheld thing you see employees carrying around can tell you everything about the item just by scanning the UPC. It's called a telxon.

Ammo is listed on their web site and available at my local store per their web site.

It would be a crazy decision to make. if they are so afraid of Holder as to do this they’re a risky investment.

But I’d have to see proof this report is true.

Methinks Walmart is more apolitical.
No point in ordering ammo when it’s sold out and massively back ordered everywhere. If cops can’t get it, a discount retailer won’t.

Ditto that.

Department managers don't know from one week to the next what'll show up for them to stock the shelves with.

Not saying the story's impossible, but it's highly doubtful.

No .223/5.56 ammo to be had at the moment. All bought up.
