Wal-Mart ammo returns
I live in Santee and my Brother in Law knew this guy as he lived 3 or 4 trailers down from him for awhile. I have returned a case of shotgun shells to this very Walmart, as I had bought 2 grabbed them off the shelf and one was 16 or 20 gauge I forget which but stocked with the 12 gauge. I politely called the manager from home after getting back from skeet shooting and she explained that due to people potentially tampering with the ammo and trying to return in in hopes of someone else buying it and being injured they could not refund my money. I explained to her that if the clerk had noticed the 2 different gauges while stocking I would not have this problem. They have alway had the different gauges seperated by atleast a few inches. She let me exchange the rounds and sent the returned ones back to Walmart to be destroyed. I was very happy she did what she could to make the deal right.

I talked to someone last night at a park where we were running our dogs. She had heard about it, too.
Her reaction was about the same as mine.
1. That's good ol' Santee for ya (town east of San Diego). You can build expensive view houses along the ridgelines, but the meth-heads and trailer parks are still the same, as long as they're there.
2. The guy was a druggie, with mental problems. I'm glad he didn't hurt anyone.
No anti-gun sentiment, believe it or not. It was good to hear.
A little local snobbery, but that's another thing...

Yeah? Where in the heck are you finding value packs out there? Certainly not in Maryland. I check every Wallyworld that I come across here in the great free state and as yet found a store that carries them.
Same goes for West Virginia, haven't found them there yet either.
walmart's got a real good return policy on everything else though... I just returned some shades that were an inch small...box opened...plastic missing, box ripped... didn't charge me a dime for 'restocking' like some places.
I'm very glad that they have a no-return on guns and ammo. The last thing they need is some crazy buying up guns to shoot folks then cleaning and returning them to the store saying "it didn't feel right" or some nonsense. Same with ammo. Some nut could take the factory loads and replace them with half-butt reloads with no primers and lead bullets...and the kid behind the counter would never know the difference.
Good policies on both counts.

I think i wrote this on THR before. We once had an incident that Wal-Mart did took our ammo return.
We got WWB 223. and went shooting. Found out it had 22-250 ammos inside the 223 box. We double and triple checked. Then we took it back to wal-mart, and they did gave us a refund.
Imagine if those 22-250 ammo fitted into ar15 mags. we would've shot it.
After this, i check almost every single box that I buy from wal-mart.

llness and Snobbery
It seems to me that the fellow who fired the ammo at Wal-Mart has a problem with his emotions. I predict he will be getting over his problem long before the gentleman who has a problem with snobbery.
I don 't live in a mobile home, but I still found the comment "that explains it" offensive. Not borderline offensive. Over the line offensive.

powwowell, I've got nothing against mobile homes, or tents.
The area where he lives was a cesspool of drugs and stupid crime (e.g. domestic violence) for a long time. There's nothing snobbish about crime stats, and it's got nothing to do with what sort of structure one lives in. All too many houses down the street held similar characters.
He and a lot of his neighbors. I spent some time there, a while back. I used to date someone who lived within a few blocks of there. She'd say the same thing.

It will take a Million postive acts by Gun Owners to get as much publicity as this one idiots moronic action.
What's the quote "The good men do is often interred with their bones, the evil lives on." It's from Thanatopsis I was too lazy to look up the exact quote.
