One of the main complaints about Wal-Mart is that they destroy the "mom&pop" type businesses where they go. Let them "give up their guns", it will open up the local market for a real gun store.
I thought I could get a good price on ammunition at Wal-Mart, but that wasnt the case....ammoman.com beats all!
There are plenty of real gun stores around here and there is Walmart. The real gun stores really soak you with their prices.
I love Walmart. I dont usually buy guns there, but I often buy large quantities of Shotgun Ammo which is sold almost cheaper than I can reload it. I also buy clay birds for about half what the "real gun stores" sell it for.
Walmart employee's don't know much of anything about the guns and ammo they sell. As a savy shopper and gun enthusiast, that is not a problem. Many of the employees of the real gun stores around here have a smug, know it all attitude which keeps me away except for the purchase of new guns of the type that cannot be purchased at a Walmart type of store.
As far a reloading components and tools....and sometimes ammo, I usually go on line
If the government didnt regulate the crap outta buying guns from distributors, I would by them online too, but the FFL thing is a real pain in the rear to deal with thanks mostly to the Clinton administration
