The guy acrosss the street from me bought a .22 rifle at WalMart last week. He said the paperwork took forever. Here it's the only "gun" shop we have, you buy at Walmart or you drive 90 miles round trip. There was a nice gun/sport shop in town before Walmart came, it closed about a year after Walmart opened. The owner said he couldn't compete.
Halted gun sales infuriate customers

Good.
Even better.
I gotta say, it sure is funny when people call Wally World "commies" for using Chinese resources. It's all about money, you goofballs! They are capitalists to the very core, not commies.
Anyway if you look at the dupe for this thread, this whole story might be BS anyway...

Cam Edwards quoted a couple of gunshop owners in the area today on his show.
Seems business is VERY good
This puts things in eprsepctive though. It does show that the NOPD chief
is sort of alone in his anti stand.
Cam also quoted a Louisiana law that would allow the Gov to suspend gun sales. That she has not done so speaks a lot I think.
When the smoke clears, there will be a LOT fewer antis around because of their actions here I hope.
As for Wal Mart, whether they sell guns or not doesn't impact me. I avoid
the place like the plague anyway......

I've been to Spillway Sportsman more times than I care to remember in the pre dawn hours. When you forget something on the way to the duck pond, Walmart isn't open, but Spillway and the other small shops cater to hunters and fishers, so they are. Good people, I'm happy they benefitted from Walmart's regulations.
remember true capitolism and adam smith's invisible hand and all that demands an informed consumer.
a $1.00 bag of chips vs a $1.50 bag of chips, the choice is clear until you learn that the cheaper bag is puffed up with air, giving you 4 oz of chips rather than 8oz like the other bag.
In the same vein, do you buy the $10.00 sleeping bag at wal-mart or the $15.00 at Ken's General Store, once oyu realize that the sleeping bag company is getting pressure from walmart to lower it's per unit cost (to increase walmart's profit margin) and the manufacturer is thinking about moving production to china...which means more people on the welfare rolls and a reduction in your tax base, and more fossil fuels used up in shipping raw fabrics to china and sleeping bags back out.

Or that
Ken's General store bought the sleeping bag from Walmart, and simply marked the price up.

I hate to say it, but
I TOLD YOU SO!!
Stop shopping at wal-mart
stop shopping at wal-mart
STOP SHOPPING AT WAL-MART!!
Any pro-gun people who continue to do firearm and ammo business with these apes need to be taken aside and have the text of that spokeswoman's statements tattooed on their foreheads.
''We're trying to take care of our customers and community and be a responsible retailer at the same time."
Corporate doublespeak at its finest, and a TASTE OF WHAT WILL COME WHEN THE BOARDROOM DECIDES THE COSTS OF SELLING FIREARMS OUTWEIGHT THE BENEFITS
YOU PEOPLE PATRONIZE THESE CREATURES AT YOUR PERIL!
The extent to which this policy was actually put into effect isn't the point--the point is when the pressure is on you can now see the direction the management leans. By patronizing Wal-Mart and not local gun stores you place your future in the hands of these apes. You have been warned, again.

My wife works for Wal-Mart and I get a discount so I occasionaly buy an exceptional deal there.
I feel the same way you do, It was a "STUPID" move on Wal-marts part to stop selling guns.
To complain go to walmart.com or Call 1-800-wal-mart.
Believe me they listen. Last time I complained about service at a store I got a call from the store manager.
I encourage everyone on the board to call and complain, raise hell, but be polite so they listen.

Not really. I was quite toothy also
Some people are intelligent enough to learn, eventually. With others, they'll see a ton of bricks coming down and they'll still stand there.

I wonder if they were worried about theft in the case of more anarchy?
Interesting that the places that still have them keep them in back now.
Remember, when society breaks down, places where there are a lot of guns become really tempting targets.
But I am probably ascribing a level of rationality to them that they dont deserve.

No omni, you were not the only one smiling at that one. As far as WM f*#!'em. As people read I already had a problem with them. I can't believe they would take peoples rights and throw them to the gun haters for dinner in a time like that.
