Wal-Mart limiting amout of ammo you can buy

[bigfutz]

Wal mart is also within 5 miles of the house and I pass one every day during the week. PSA is NOT near the house! Not saying that I wouldn't like it if it was!

I guess WM is what you could call an ammo convenience store. You can beat their prices if you try, but you can't beat their convenience. BTW, do they limit the hours you can buy ammo, or can you buy it 24-7?

True... And I don't know I guess if you could get someone to come to sporting goods at 2am you could buy they would just have to pay for it up front.

They will not sell it 24/7. I think the cut off is 10pm-7am. Or maybe it was 7pm to 10am. I cant remember exactly what the hours are but they have some dumb rules regarding the sale of their guns and ammo.

That being said I still shop there because I'm not a millionaire. I'd love to see the local guys at least try to be competitive with their prices. I would spend a buck or two more to support the local guy but they are marking ammo up $5-10 more than walmart. Now they sell AR's for a reasonable price too. Imagine a gun shop that did a little mark up to make profit but didn't throw on another $400 because a democrat might be re-elected a month from now. If these guys quit being greedy and playing off of a fear something that might not even happen they might see an increase in business.

Walmart ar's are cheaper than any gun shop. They were 1050$ for colt 6920's, flyer I got last week said 1089$. The only place I was that came close was cheaper than dirt had them for 990$ plus 7$ shipping.

Plus whatever the FFL transfer cost. But yes if wal mart really got into gun sales they could put most smaller gun shops out of business

8.5% sc sales tax is crazy.

Try living in a different country for a while. How would 15% work for you?

If they left my paycheck alone I'd be fine with it

Bought some .22 ammo at Goose Creek WalMart and didn't see a limit on ammo sign. Spotty inventory.

 

[Rosea Carpa]

Between Summerville and Goosecreek Goosecreek normally has the better inventory

I live right by the goose creek Walmart...pretty stocked up for the most part...the Walmart in Walterboro almost always has federal 9mm 100/$20...I usually stock up when I go see family

Still waiting on some dealers to chime in and cater to those few...

It is called "the internet."

More Walmart lunacy and of a much higher degree:

According to local news reports the agreement says Walmart must limit sales of firearms to rifles and shotguns used only for hunting or target practice. No ?tactical guns? or ?assault weapons? with its related ammunition are to be sold

So you can't do target practice with an AK-47? As I have stated before it's only an assault weapon if you use it as an assault weapon. So does that mean Walmart will have to quit selling hammers? I'm sure hammers have been used as assault weapons.

I have an assault mace, perfect for home defense. We aren't allowed to use firearms for home defense here in Dodge City. Then again, it would be more humane to use the firearms. :twisted:

Not only is this unsupportive of 2nd Ammendment Rights, it is a clear violation of Indiana state law. Take a minute to send Walmart corporate an email before this becomes the norm at other locations or retailers.
