Wal-mart has announced that guns won't be allowed in their stores anymore. That means they have just created a lot of gun free zones - you know - where the crazy's like to shoot it up. My state has CCW laws and myself, wife, daughter, and friends all carry. They just lost my business.

That is not what I read. What I read said that Wal-Mart is asking their customers not to carry openly in their stores, in states where open carry is allowed. It said nothing about concealed carry. And note that it stated asked.

I think I was reading their press release. Kroger announced the same thing the next day.

Damn shame- between my son-in-law and myself- we have handguns in these calibers: .22lr, 9mm Parabellum, .357M and .45ACP- and we have a Wally_World Mart here where we live, and they, up until now, had the best prices on ammo- and we target shoot a fair amount of ammo- their prices are/were better than at Cabela's since Bass-Ackwards Blow-Shops took over- Now we will have to "bite the bullet"--so to speak.

Two things on their ammo selections concern me. How do they know when I buy .22 ammo whether I'm going to fire it in one of my .22 rifles, or in my Colt MT Woodsman or Ruger No 1 Bull barrel handgun? Will they make it more of a nightmare to stop selling match target .22 ammo, but still offer the CCI mini-mags I like for squirrel and woodchucks??

How will they determine this "Short-barrel rifle" criteria? Are Ruger Mini-14's in 5.5 (.223) short barreled assault style rifles? How about other NATO rounds that also have commercial/hunting loadings-specifically the Win .308-- aka NATO 7.62X51mm. Am I going to shoot such ammo in my M70BA FW in .308Win, or in a M-14 with a 20 rd. box magazine and a selector??

They are stepping into "deep Kimshee" here. I have a CCW, but with that, the only time I "Open Carry" is with a holstered and visible handgun I am shooting on a licensed private gun range. I have never walked into: Wally_Mart, Slammin'Sammy's CLUB, Meijer Shifty Acres with an openly carried handgun, and I never will.

But Big Wally's Corporate decision to cease the over-the counter sale of such ammo that their top brass considers to be part of the Nation-Wide madness is miss-guided "head-in-the-sand" thinking. The deranged shooter from the most recent tragedy in TX was banned from legally obtaining any firearm or ammo-- that didn't seem to stop him from obtaining a weapon and ammo. RWTF

Seems to be irrelevant. From what I have read, they will simply stop selling .223 and 5.56 once current stocks have disappeared. Also heard that they will stop selling handgun ammo.

Probably completely irrelevant to many of us in California because of the new state laws regarding ammo purchases. CA now requires a background check to buy ammo. The "instant" check (which merchants charge you $1 for) only works if you have transferred a firearm thru an FFL within the last five years. If not, you have to go thru the slower $19 check, which takes from a few days to forever. But that does not matter because WalMart corporate has decided that they will not even do the $19 check, so you must go elsewhere to buy ammo. Even if you qualify for the instant check, WalMart has decided to require a Real ID driver license, even though the state law does not require the Real ID if one has what is known as a "Legacy License," which is what I currently carry. Walmart would not sell me dove loads because I had a legacy license but did not have with me a current passport or a certified copy of my birth certificate. Two other guys from our group went to CA Walmarts to buy dove loads and none of us could complete the transaction. Among the three of us, we have about 100 years of hunting and shooting experience, no criminal history, CA hunting licenses going back to the 1950s, etc. I was a civilian consultant to the Los Angeles Police Department, worked for defense contractors, carried a Secret security clearance, etc. But I can't buy dove loads at WalMart. What's wrong with this picture? I did buy ammo at a local sporting goods store just to test the system, even though I despise the system. But it works outside of WalMart.

And to make matters worse, state law now makes it a crime to bring in ammo from out of state, even if you are forced to buy it out of state and have some left at the end of your hunting trip. I think I now know a lot of new criminals.

Takes more ID to buy a box of crayons or bullets in this case than to vote. I see a problem.

This retailer is known to go into small town USA and drive mom and pop small businesses out. For that, they promise joe average that they will lower their costs for the things they need. Another example of big city, influential state knee jerk ideology forcing itself on the future of the nation.

Walmart is a shame and disgrace....when Walmart first evolved their claim was American made.

Now Walmart is nothing more than a Cheap Chinese Market.
