Does that mean that they will upgrade their awful woman's clothing selections from horrible frump, to stylish like Target? I doubt it. Until they carry the really nice stuff and great products Target does, I will just stay away for the most part.
Walmart seems to have the idea that products for Joe average means boring products, out of date packaging and low quality. Unlike Target which offers the latest fashions, great packaging and wonderful prices. Walmart is starting to seem out of date in many areas. I guess that is their idea of reaching the common denominator.

This is a Good Thing. Your local gun shop is active in the community and in state politics. Wal-Mart will not do that. Gun owners have a moral responsibility to fight to fight for a our natural rights. Supporting your local shop is a much better way to do that than buying guns from Wal-Mart.

I hate Target. For the quality, it's way overpriced.
Now, the Wal Mart closest to me, you can't even get in the parking lot most of the time.
And if you do, be prepared to spend a very long time in line.

Darn! And I was going to buy guns to put in my kids' Easter Baskets this year. *Smirk*
They're only doing it in areas where guns don't sell. That would be where liberals live, 'cuz they're a-skeered of guns. *Double Smirk* It's just a business decision.
It's best to buy locally from your Gun Shop Guy/Gal, versus a pimply-faced stockboy or a blue-haired granny. The Gun Shop owners know what they're selling. :)

I certainly agree. Aside from a preference of buying guns from highly qualified people, I find the local shops are much more discerning in who they sell to.

No guns at walmart, no cigs at Kmart. I'm about ready to say screw those places and their agendas.

not really, i can't get any help from any gunstores around here, they don't seem to know much, and are over priced. walmart at least stocks lots of cheap ammo.

I bought a Marlin 30/30 from `Wally world' last year, price was right but an asst. manager escorted me to the door.
I've gone back to buying from my gun dealer. He doesn't make me feel like I'm buying Tampons. Or something.

Well, ammo is ammo. I was refering to novice gun shoppers that may not know the first thing about guns.
Sorry you have such crappy service at your gun shop. Mine (The Ammo Box) is top notch. :)

My gunshop(Dave's Sports) gives excellent service. I will pay a little more to keep the little guy going. Besides, I can't buy a Barrett .50 cal at wal-mart.

From what the article says they are discontinuing selling firearms in places where the demand doesn't justify doing so.
Walmart is still the least expensive place for me to buy ammo.
They have a corporate policy of not prohibiting concealed carry in their stores in state where concelaed carry is legal, but the law allows them to post signs prohibiting it.
To: Abathar
No biggie and no surprise. The Wal-Mart by me (Chi SW burb) hasn't sold a rifle in years. They have the same ones now as they did three years ago (seems that way at least).
Plus the local Gun Stores are cheaper, better selection and better service. Plus they know what they're selling.

Yeah, don't pay attention to the facts, go with the liberal and union's false talking points.
Last year, Wal-Mart spent $150 BILLION with American suppliers, compared to 18 billion in China. Please, stop spreading union and socialist liberal propoganda.

It's all part of the grand plan to disarm all Americans. Chip..chip..chip, a little freedom is chipped away at a time and such little pieces will never be noticed by the public until it is too late.
The grand scheme is that if they can't ban guns outright, they will do things that make them extremely hard to get. Next, will come the difficulty in obtaining ammunition locally. Next, since guns and ammunition, along with places to shoot them will fade into obscurity, the children of the next generation will only hear about guns in horror stories that happened back in the early 2000's.
By that time the Ministry of Truth will have rewritten history and the Constitution so that no one will ever know that we used to have freedoms and the ability to defend ourselves against our own government.
