Wal-Mart Announcement

[ollie]

I just read today where they will stop carrying all handgun ammo and the most popular rifle cartridge the .223/5.56. Also they announced that they would stop selling handguns in AK after all the stock on hand is gone. Bowed under pressure. For me that means I have to travel about 20 miles away to get any good price on ammo now. Just another reason they suck!

Good thing about this country they are free to do as they choose. I love how everyone gets in an uproar when a big company changes their policy but nobody gives a crap how they treat their employees. Spend a little extra and buy local and support a local family instead of the stock market.

Sounds like a good thing for the smaller gun shops.

I say good for Wal-Mart!  I'm wondering if the recent incident at the Wal-Mart in Springfield, MO didn't "trigger" this decision . . . pun intended.  At least they are taking action instead of sitting on their hands like our good-for-nothing congressmen and senators who can't even come to a consensus that universal background checks are at least a very small starting point in the national epidemic we are facing. 

35 shot in Chicago this past weekend, I would hazard a guess the vast majority by handguns.  

I think we can all agree that what this country needs is more idiots armed with handguns, right?. . . . . in order to protect ourselves from the bad guy idiots who are armed with handguns.

I'm going to get one for my nightstand, the glovebox of each car, one for the kitchen counter, maybe one for the garage, two to keep on my person, one for the wife, and one for the dog.

I heard from someone that was in an employee meeting that the incident in Springfield did have some to do with it. Especially them asking customers to not openly carry in their stores. Unfortunately all that will do is cause more "rights defenders" to openly carry in their stores.

Of course that same person was happy to know that they only carry hunting guns now. We are going to have a gun and ammo discussion later.

Gotta love how the very mention of the subject on this here fishing website immediately draws an ad.

All I get is ads for watches. I think the boss is telling me to quit jacking around on the internet and do my job.

Since a possum can't even sneak across our yard at 3:am without the dog losing his mind I don't think I have to worry about being surprised by a crackhead with a gun busting through the door.

Not to mention the spiders on the deck that he would have to negotiate with.  If he gets into my house and still has enough balls to take charge.....then he deserves anything he can get.

What we need is more strict gun control laws like they have in DC and Chicago.... Wait a minute😌?!?
