Walmart has not stopped ordering ammo. The are fighting the shortages as much as anyone else. From some of the verbiage I have seen on this board, there are people who find out when the next sipment is arriving, arrive early and buy as much as they will allow. And that is why Walmart has no ammo on the shelves.
They have stated that they have changed no policies and I believe them. Why? Because a person I deal with is a Walmart manager and he is well aware that their shoppers are gun owners and some of them are carrying as they shop.
In Texas, they figure that 40% of their shoppers are armed, whether the heater is on them or in the car. They know who their customers are and they are not about to push them away.
Obviously, some stores have not gotten the message from the corporate offices. I spoke directly with a “Stephanie” who said that Walmart is reviewing their policies regarding sales of guns and ammo because of Sandy Hook.
Some stores, especially Delaware, have already stopped. Maryland restricts ammo to 2 boxes per day per person. I will check PA next. It would behoove us all to note what is happening in each area; but it seems like it is only a matter of time before ALL Walmart stores will stop selling guns and ammo.
