Walmart ends all handgun ammo sales and asks customers not to carry in store

[Shootin45super]

No walmart for me,my money goes else where.
Boycott them!

It'll take Walmart years to sell off all that ammo since you can never find anyone working in sporting goods. If you do, they can't seem to find the key for the ammo case.

It's gotten even worse. I went to buy shave cream last weekend and found that it was now in a locked case like their ammo is. There was a sign saying, "For assistance, push button on cologne case." So I had to go find someone to tell me where the cologne case was. Of course that person didn't have the key to the shave cream case even though they were working in that department. After finding the case and pushing the button (twice) someone finally came to open it. They said they had had a big theft problem which is why they had to lock it up. Apparently there are a lot of well-groomed thieves out there.

Walmart has contractual obligations to fulfil before they "cut and run" from the real world.

Contracts are nothing when compared to virtue signalling and social justice.

Unless decisions have already been made to play out the contracts and remaining stock will be sold.
Granted, my info is second hand from a store manager that's waiting on a meeting with higher ups on their way to Indy to officially put policy into place.
I'm nobody, I'm not in a position to be privy to all info so I'll take it with a grain of salt until I see the ammo cases empty out.
I've lived WITHOUT WalMart before and my life doesn't depend on that corporation at all. Krogers can bend over as well and let the libtards keep pounding sand from behind.

So how many bought from Kroger or Walmart the last few days?

Anyone actually boycotting them?

Is it a boycot if you never shop there anyway?

Walgreens has joined the bandwagon.

In Martinsville the only choices for groceries are either Walmart or Kroger. I can't justify the fuel expense to drive to Camby every week or sometimes two or three times a week to go to Meijer for groceries. So guess I'll just continue to on as a rule breaker.

I'm approaching $200 spent on Amazon and Aldi and Speedway gas station that I could have saved money on and went to Walmart. Having a family means I might not be able to avoid it entirely (Kroger and Walmart have the baby formula....) I'm doing my best.

And that's just the last 24 hours.

I know folks that drive to Martinsville, just to shop at the Save-A-Lot.

I'm stuck on this "after existing inventory is sold" business. If Walmart is so concerned about safety and reducing violence and they need to stop selling certain types of ammunition, why is it okay to keep selling it just because they have it? If it's wrong to sell it, it's wrong to sell it and they should dispose of it, either disassembly and selling the scrap or perhaps donation to police departments who could use the ammunition for training. The fact that they want to make a little final profit or at least minimize a loss when it's convenient for them is . . . very Walmart.

Okay, just playing devil's advocate here, but remember when the bakery didn't want to bake a cake for a gay wedding, and everyone was like, "It's their business! They should be able to refuse to bake the cake!" And "Any private business should be able to refuse service to anyone for any reason!" There were a LOT of people here on INGO expressing those feelings. Now that we're (gun owners) the "gay couple" (figurativey speaking), not so much. Just sayin'...

Oh yeah, I forgot about Save-A-Lot. I don't think I've ever actually set foot in there.

I don't know about the one in Martinsville, but up here in Indy, the Save-A-Lot stores I've seen are pretty seedy, and they tend to be in neighborhoods to match.

No one here is suing them.

There's actual basis in the reasoning to refuse the cake.

There's no actual basis in banning OC. It's signaling.

We're doing the right thing here... by saying "then I won't go there." Which is what the gay couple didn't do, they demanded the store accommodate them, even when other shops existed.

Oh I get that part, believe me. But doesn't the same principal of "their business, their rules" still apply? Just seems that for many, that sentiment only applies when "their rules" are ones that we agree with. And for all the smack talk that Walmart tends to get on here anyhow, it just seems that the level of outrage over this decision is a little odd. "All they sell is cheap Chinese crap! Wait, what? I can't buy cheap ammo while open carrying anymore??"

Well it's Martinsville so........

Actually I shouldn't laugh. The Kroger I normally go to gets put down for being "trashy" all the time. I like it because it's one of the only ones left that hasn't been turned into a rat's maze with aisles going at all kinds of odd angles and deads ends, making it impossible to find stuff.
