According to the local pro-gun hunter and manager of the sporting goods dept. at the local Walmart, they’ll continue to sell handgun ammo until the current inventory and future stock already on order from factories is gone.
They will continue to sell rifles, shotguns and the necessary ammo for them.
They've specifically stated they will stop selling .223/5.56.
Picked up 600 rds of 9 and 250 rds of.380 yesterday. A friend also got 600 rds of 9. Store clerk was quite annoyed at the Wal-Mart decision. They will still sell “large” rifle ammo but not 5.56.
