>>Either the Wal-Mart story was wrong to start with, or the company has decided to change back to their standard policy for ammo sales.
The original story had a WM manager picking up the phone to order some. That was pretty much a giveaway that it was somebody’s idea of a fun prank. It’s probably been several decades since chain stores ordered stuff that way - it’s all computerized now.

Photos on the net from all over of empty show cases with no ammo. Sold out.
Maybe New York will have some. They are trying to pass a law right now that you can’t own 10 or more firearms. What about collectors????

What about people that like good deals? I almost bought a crate of 10 SKS's for $650.
Woulda turned a nice profit. They are selling for $400 a pop now.

It was great stuff. I would always have at least 3 cans of it in my camper at any given time.

End of K-Mart? Au contraire. They’re not gone. In fact they bought Sears. But they sure did shrink.

It was probably wrong at the start. Gun owners, in just a few months bought enough weapons and ammo to outfit China and India. That makes sense but we'll see what these businesses do to minimize the fascist wrath thrown their way
To: the OlLine Rebel
Yes, and the shrinkage came after they stopped selling guns and ammo.

Its good to getvob top of it and hold Wal-Mart accountable nevertheless. Yep.
If it wasn't true, the reaction will keep it from being true in the future.

Didn’t pass the smell test. All ordering at Walmart is done by computer, not by phone.

On my out of a recent gun show, I saw a box-grade Russkie on a table with a $1,700 price tag.

And this afternoon at about 1PM I was told to my face by the elderly Wal-Mart sporting goods clerk that ammo was "on hold" and wasn't being resupplied. This is consistent with not accepting any more orders for ammo, computerized replenishment or not.

Actually they’d been struggling for years since the rise of Wal-Mart. And apparently c.2000 they had a major scandal with CEOs absconding with what money they had.

At any rate I miss being able to get cheap ammo and canned bacon there.

Walmarts is a smart capitalist company. They are not going to intentionally miss out on millions on the sale of legal goods. The story could have been second hand heresay.
The problem at Walmart’s ammo is that for this particular product, they haven’t much leverage in their routine “supply us first or we won’t carry” threats, so they must compete for ammo and they sell out most of any shipment within a few hours. Guess you gotta be friends with the Ammo Counter Guy.

No frill firepower. I would have been all over two crates of those.
Where did you find that offer?

I suspect this is a distribution issue.
It shows the American Psyche.
Tell us we can’t have something or supplies are limited and the race is on to get it.
At least the gun and ammo manufacturers are going to have a good year this year.

End of K-Mart? Au contraire. Theyre not gone.OK, but do they still have the canned bacon?
