Just playing Devil's Advocate, but for all you know he could have been a hunter and hobby shooter his whole life.

At my local Dick's we have a mix of very knowledgeable salespeople and morons.

The first K-Mart I ever went in (Colorado Springs, CO) had a great gun department.I bought a lot of ammo and hunting equipment/supplies fro them.

Then later, they made the fateful decision to stop selling guns! So did Sears! Both companies went bankrupt. They came back, sort of, but are mere shadows of what they once were.

I think Walmart is making a serious blunder here! If they also stop selling the stuff I go there for, may they also go under!

Just got back from the Westminster Maryland Walmart and talked with the Dept Manager. She said "Yep, April 1st they are coming to take her guns!" Only the top 500 sellers stores are keeping them. I asked her if she was going to reduce any of them come closing time and she said nope that they are taking them and restocking other stores with them.

What goes up must come down...and this will be the first of many steps to begin it for Wally..

Was in the local Wal-Mart a week before Christmas and bought a 11-87 offthe rack. In the process of doing the final sale, the Asst Mgr ( a gentleman named Mohammed) told me they were doing away with gun sales in this store. Didn't say when, just that it was coming. When I asked why, he said the paperwork was too overloading! I feel they will loose alot of business once that happenssince they have a large shooting club just 2-3 miles down the road. Oh well, I cantake my businesselsewhere.

This will be a good thing for local mom and and pop type gun stores.

Now I wonder how I knew him, hummm......Maybe from Jiffy Lube?? He was someone I wouldn't take advise from, trust me on this.

I won't buy anything from that chinese outlet store unlesss I just plain can't get it anywhere else.[:@]. They once tried to sell American made goods, now they don't even try. Its a fifth rate junk store. Even the dollar stores have better stuff.

Touchey subject I see
