Ammunition Sales
 

This might be thewrong place to post this, but I just heard tonight that ourFederal Govermenthas sent a letter to our local Wal-Mart andgun shop that they will no longer be able to sell ammunition in the USA. I heard this is going on around the country. Has anyone else heard of this?

I'm calling BS because I havn't gotten any letter yet! Somebody is yanking your chain, UNLESS they have reason to have FFL revoked.

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

I didn't think you needed an FFL to sell ammo.

That's true but FFL holders automatically receive rule/law changes from BATFE and I havn't received anything so it's BS.

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

Pure BS, if it was true if would be ALL over the major news networks in big bold letters "ATFENDS WALMART AMMO SALES" or something to that effect.

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

It's still being sold at our local Wal-Mart, and no signs up stating that it is going to cease doing so.

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

What they did to the Walmarts on Longisland is they did stop certain stores from selling guns.You can still buy ammo in those stores but IMO they'll be looking to due away with ammo sales also.
Train of thought being they dont sell guns why carry ammo.Only time will tell because it only started about a year ago.The non gun selling walmarts are very limited on ammo.
To the best of my knowledge there's only 1 walmart selling guns in Suffolk County.

Ya our local Wal-Mart stopped selling guns probably almost 2 years ago. Ammo supply out there does seem a little low, but they are well stocked with shotgun shells for trap shooting, sporting clays, etc... Our Wal-Mart was also getting out of Fishing equipment for good last fall too. Well that seems to be getting re-stocked for this spring. If Wal-Mart got out of the hunting and fishing business, where would all the men disappear to on the weekly shopping trip with thewife and kids. They would alsomiss out on a lot of $10-20 trips to the back of store. I

I stopped by the Wal-Mart by house last night to pick up diapers for my youngest. I walked through the sporting goods section to see what the current price for ammo was. Right away a noticed the counter had been changed. They re-model the area and had all of the shotgun and some rifle ammo in a locked case in the aisle, and NO HANDGUN AMMO!

This is a new store in central Indiana that is less than a year old. Has anyone else seen these changes at Wal-Mart?

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

Wal-mart stocks their stores differently based on sales and customer demographics. If they don't sell many guns at a store, they'll stop carrying them. They will do the same thing with grape soda if it doesn't sell at one store but sells well at another. It doesn't mean the feds are cracking down on grape soda.

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

At the 2 of the 3 closest stores here in Ky, gun & ammo sales are going through the roof.

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

Im sure one of those steller well educated wal-mart employees informed you of that right?

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

Noooo,I'm going by what I actually see when I actually see them changing on the shelves and disappering then reappearing when they get more in.

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

There's not a Walmart in Denver that can keep their ammo on the shelf more than a couple of hours. As soon as they get it it's gone. I was in the other day when their shipment arrived. I thought I'd better grab it while it's here. I bought a few thousand rounds only to come back with buddy later that day and it was all gone. They have a few odd balls left but all the .223, 30.06, 45, 9mm, 22lr, and so on, was gone.

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

At my local Wal-Mart, as I said before, you can buy all the rifles and shotguns you can carry, and the ammo to feed them. What you CAN'T buy, however, are turkey calls. Been gone for a couple of years. The management just doesn't seem to understand hunters/shooters at all. Educated half-wits. The Sporting Goods section is filled with soccer balls and tennis gear. Tells you right away how totally out of touch they are....and I live in a rural area of W. PA., where they still shut the public schools down for the first day of deer season. Go figure...........

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

We got plenty of calls at wal-marts down here. Tell me what ya want & I'll send em to you.

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

our local wal-mart is out of 22lr 9mm 38 30-06 30-30 12 gauge and more
we got it bad down here guys :(

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

Unless people are actually shooting that much ammunition, they will stop panicbuying when they don't have room to store it anymore.

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

I call BS on the original post!
I hate the "rumor mill!" All it does is stir panic and worry. With the rabid socialist's we currently have in Washington, we need to stay on top of whats really going on! But the rumors just camo the real issues, and eventually people will start ignoring the real dangers!

RE: Ammunition Sales
 

Oh, I've already got waaaay too many of them now, Neil...but I'm always looking to see what else is"out there". Thanks for the offer.......
