Walmart out of the Ammo business?

[Marty McFly]

Yes. I have to do that when I bring in used motor oil. The book is gross and I always forget to bring my own pen.

They have storm drains in the parking lot

 

[HorizontalHunter]

We have other better options, so screw them.

We all have better options but it is still a loss to the shooting community and another win for the liberals at large demonizing gun owners and their rights.

Sometimes some WalMart exec forgets to renew that specific stores license to sell ammo.

When that happens, they pull all the ammo off the shelves until the license is renewed by whoever renews it...Seen this happen a few times over the years at diff WalMarts and it always causes a pantshitting panic here lol

Pick up the phone in that area, dial #4444 and make a store-wide announcement.

Eat lots of beans. Go to local Walmart. Head for the book section- there are no cameras there as the typical clientele is not interested in books. When you feel nature calls- find nearest wall phone and dial #4444- bring handset to ass and let everybody know how you feel about the store. Put handset onto the receiver and pretend nothing happened.

I got carded for white spray paint. I do not look like i huff paint. But I did give them a lecture about how the metallics are the best to huff and how I would have not gotten white

Haven't bought ammo at Walmart since they dropped the handgun calibers. .22 I can get a better deal online and get exactly what I want (Aguila Interceptor and .22 Short) and not be stuck with the limited options at a brick and mortar store. The only advantage Walmart had for me was if I wanted to shoot something I don't reload or didn't have the time to do any. Of course that was limiting as well, usually all they had was Winchester or Federal, only 115gr 9, 130gr FMJ or 158gr LRN .38, if they had 10mm it was the the weak Federal shit, .25 and .32 was double the price I could get it online because, again, Winchester brand.

The only benefit to getting ammo at Walmart now is .17 HMR and .22 Mag, tho I haven't checked the price on that, just figure it's going to be less than anywhere else locally.

They are trying to shut down all the stores. Next, will be the big door slam when they shut down mail order. Then, it's over, because that will include reloading stuff also.

It was a woman. Kinda

NES crybabies' mantra-

F Walmart, F the online retailers who want LTC info to ship to MA, F the LGS with high prices, F the NH LGS that wants to see your LTC...

I'd keep going but that would start the TLDR crying.

(For the record, I'm a platinum member of the crybaby club)

Same thing with the Walmart brand sea foam

Leave it in the empty ammo cabinet.

9/40/45?

Walmart has not sold that stuff for years now. I think they even stopped doing it before covid now that I think of it there was a thread here where basically members were cleaning out the last of the Walmart normal people ammo during the trump slump. @DW357 had some reports.

223 sure... in 20rd boxes, id believe that.... yes.

I think the only bulks left that people told me were worth buying there are the 12 / 20 gauge (well, kinda) and maybe 22LR boxes.

Yup. Wiped them out off 5.56, 7.62x39 and 38 spl. I think all of those calibers were 15 cents per round.

I did something similar with buying Sudafed or its generic equivalent at a Target one day. I told them I was short and needed one more box to finish making a batch of meth. The register ASSociate was clueless!

 

[Dench]

Of course none of this matters anymore anyways cuz Walmart has only ever sold a paucity of fudd calibers for like the past five+ years or whatever. No more 9/40/45/5.56 etc. They chickened out, good riddance.

I miss the prices of 9mm though.

 

[Coyote33]

I miss the ZQI ammo. They had some zing to 'em as well.

 

[turbo89]

This is probably just a moonbat state thing. Hell, I saw .223 and 30-06 for sale at a hardware store in maine last week. The rest of the country isn’t stupid like we are here.

 

[drgrant]

TS and other online vendors offer better ammo at similar market lows. Of course I see where you're coming from, many of the retail shops in FL are completely terrible so if you just want a few boxes its annoying....

 

[sig shooter]

I miss the ZQI ammo. 30 rounds for the price of 20, and they had some zing to 'em as well.

The 9mm NATO ZQI was fun in a compact pistol.

 

[Broc Tuah]

Not the same. One book says "this dude owns guns".

Even if Walmart hadn't fagged out ZQI told them to f*** off and didn't renew their walmart contract. probably because they were getting squeezed too hard. That stuff was never coming back. Walmart tends to be pretty oppressive to vendors.... i hate mids but honestly at this point id rather have online retailers and mids having access to that capacity. The quality of the ammo goes up instead of getting stuff that's been "trashed out for walmart."

Last time I was at WM in Wareham the ammo cases were full, but the key guy had supposedly taken the key home by accident so... I wasn't able to buy anything. :/

I haven't looked at a WM ammo case since before covid. I'm done with that johnny 1 box life. Bulk bulk bulk!!!!

I can't buy ammo at stores here. Most of it's super crazy. I have a few times but it's a handful since I moved here.

I buy most of my ammo from aimsurplus.com.

 

[Biff Quizler]

They pulled ammo from the Hadley store for a bit a while back.... incoming manager didn't have the proper licensing to take custody of the stock so it couldn't be sold. Once licensed ammo was back out.

 

[cstockwell]

I do not look like i huff paint.

If they had posters in the back of the store about paint huffers...You are their milk carton pic. No offense bud.

I know a guy who bought 3 pallets of AR, handgun, and AK ammo when it was on clearance the day before they stopped selling some 4 years ago.

He made 10 trips in his truck to load up all the ammo.

It was all on clearance for 90% off.

After all day going back and fourth, he hit the Chicopee Walmart and cleaned them out too.

Spent $20,000 on his AMEX for $200,000 worth of ammo.

Those cabinet locks are pretty cheesy, really easy to pick open, takes like 3 seconds.
It's really easy to carry one of these in your pocket and help yourself.

He must have had a close connection with someone at that store. I can’t imagine all Walmarts would willingly sell that volume of ammo to some random person but idk
