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

[IronsKeeper]

I've got a little break in the day coming up.

Guess I'll head down to Wally World and stock three carts up with refrigerated goods and then visit the "ammo counter".

Last time I was there it took about three quarters of an hour before some idiot showed up to look for a key to open a case and ask me what I was looking for.

I'll let them take their time to get around to it.

Given their policies, they may refuse to offer "ammo".

I may likewise refuse their offer to sell three carts of goods and simply walk away.

No. Don't.

No don't?

Don't offer an opportunity for Wally World to do business?

 

[bwframe]

That'll learn 'em...

...and confirm their sentiment that we are all a bunch of dumb assed bubbas.

They could give and actual **** about all of that. Seriously.
I have dealt with the management in so many of those stores. They will just write it off i one of the waste columns trash the goods and move on. This will not even make a "Ding" on the radar screen. NADA.

Now if 20 customers a day did it yes the manager would her about it. Maybe. If it went on for a week it would make it to home office but trust security would be well involved by then.

Not telling you what to do. Your world brother and you have to walk in it not me. Just giving you what I have seen behind the green curtain in way to many Wally's.

Do as you must.

I read that in purple.

It could be I guess but in truth it will just not matter. If you look in the back room they get more than a few loaded/abandoned carts every day. It is more common than people know.

This is all difficult to find a way to express our disdain for the actions of the progressive socialists. And I totally understand the need to act out in a way that leaves a mark. I find myself deeply angered by so much of this and not throat punching these jack wagons is so so so hard. But this will fix nothing. At least not at this point in the big game.

Yeah, let's not return an evil with another evil. Go ask for the manager and make a direct complaint. Show him/her your grocery list and let him/her know that they will not be getting that business from you that day because of it.

That'll teach 'em!

Let them know that gun owners are petulant little children not above committing acts of criminal mischief if store owners don't do things their way.


I think you were joking... I think.

What got us into this mess was gun owners acting like jackwagons with their low slug AR's, because it's myyyeee riiiitttes... i.e. jackassery got us to this point, and more jackassery will not get us back.

The policy states that they respectfully request you not Openly Carry in their store.

What Law have you broken that the police should be called if you open carry?

Denny?

They could call us and have US tell you to leave as they might not want to approach you. It happens.

I have always walked back to the aisle where I picked up an item and restocked it when I realized I did not have enough to pay for it or decided I did not want it.

I have occasionally left my wallet home and had to do quite a bit of backtracking.

Yep. Even better? Shop somewhere else and send them the receipt. I did that with Value City Furniture. Saw the no guns sign on the door so we bought somewhere else. I sent that receipt to them to show them in concrete terms that they actually lost the sale. I've done it with cars too. (show up in my new car and talked to the manager explaining why I didnt buy it there)

Though thats not as easy now that everyone is getting on the bandwagon. "you shopped at Meijer instead? Why? They have the same policy of no OC as we do."

And as said upthread, wont really matter unless LOTS of people are doing it.

Now

You're a good man, Tom.


My wife once just set some item down in a random place - I almost lost it. "No, we put it back where we found it." I'm pretty sure she never had a job stocking shelves.

Well that was an incorrect headline. Click bait?? Walmart asked that you not open carry out of respect for victimÂ’s families of the Walmart tragedy. They didnÂ’t say you couldnÂ’t carry. They prolly wonÂ’t say a damn word about you open carrying. The owner of Walmart and his family are 2A supporters and hunters. But that being said it is private property and they can tell you they donÂ’t want you to have your firearms there. The unintelligent people I see in here saying stupid stuff is why we have to deal with this in the first place.

I seem to see a lot of people here screaming about 2A and someone stepping on their rights. What about people who donÂ’t agree with 2A. I mean at the core of things isnÂ’t one of the reasons for this countryÂ’s greatness is our right to believe in what we want without persecution?? Or do we only care about the second amendment here??
Walmart has to deal with thousands of employees and millions of customers. Most if not all of the people in here would have no idea what that would be like.

Im not standing up for their decision. I think it sucks. I like Winchester white box for the range and that was always the best price I could find around here. And IÂ’m fat cannot hardly conceal any more but thatÂ’s life. Not their fault. ItÂ’s poor society condition that force them to have to respond in this way. Maybe thatÂ’s something you should put thought and effort into. Try to fix the problem not b@@@h about someoneÂ’s reaction to it.

But above all else please try to think about what you post. This thread could be used as an example for a news outlet to use as the “dumb hilljack” point of Veiw when discussing gun control. If you’re offended... if I get the boot... if someone else already touched base on this then I am sorry for that.

 

[Walden54]

We do as well

Very impressive, patriot. I think you'd make a bolder statement if you showed up in war paint, ran out the door with a cart load of tea and dumped it into the retention pond out back.

[Trigger Time]

But, why?

Because he is a dip****. Just because you can doesn't mean you should when you don't need to. Scaring soccer moms, kids, old ladies, men who shave their arms and legs, at the grocery store doesnt help educate or get support for the 2nd amendment. It hurts it.

Banned for life from all walmarts. Thats like getting a presidential medal of freedom or something similar.

I do this too. Drives me crazy when people to that. I always return my cart to the cart corral too.

I think we care about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Just like the teetotalers, there is a method to change the Constitution so follow the laws and institute Prohibition if they think that is the feeling of the country. Otherwise put on your big girl panties and deal with it and don't panic when you see inanimate objects in holsters. Otherwise move to a country that restricts means of self defense, I hear the immigration lines to move into Venezuela are pretty short right now.
