Walmart win!!!

[7.62]

O yeah forgot to mention that they will be carrying ARs at a great price as well.

If it is a ploy just to get us into the store and spend money on other things, then in this case, it is the thought that counts, and that sign makes me say; OK!

Don't shop Wal-mart, but if they are going to support firearm owners, for what ever reason, then I will support them and will make it know why.

 

[Car Ramrod]

I would be happy if my Wal-mart carried ammo, let alone firearms...

 

[762minigun]

Shelbytucky Walphart already has AR's

 

[doglb]

Would like to see the Walmart's in Fort Wayne bring back their firearms...
Well...I guess time will tell!

 

[El-Cigarro]

That's the problem with the Anderson store too

And RENSSELAER, too....

wish the Wally world here in Auburn would listen!!!

Excellent news!

If a Walmart store were smart...

They'd have only a handful of employees that ONLY did the gun cabinet, and they'd only have certain hours for firearms sales.

Other employees could do the ammo cabinet in the hours "outside" the hours that the gun folks do.

You'd be able to only train who needed trained, and train them better.

wishful thinking on my part, though, I know.

[Llamaguy]

But will they be able to find someone who works in shoorting goods or the key to open the case???

True! it takes forever for anyone to actually come to the counter. That's why when I need .22 I just go to Meijers where it's just sitting on a shelf. Unfortunately they don't stock 7.62 or Federal bulk .40SW.

Not entirely profit driven....Here's a clue how it might have happened....
My wife and daughter are avid quilters-belong to a local quilting club.Lots of friends and family members are quilters,too.She and her friends at church probably spend more on fabric than anyone will believe and over 90%is bought at walmart-much ,much cheaper than at JoAnns or any other fabric store.They realized that walmarts were discontinuing fabric in a lot of stores-so I suggested calling 1800walmart,sending e-mails,and calling local store managers to make them realize how unhappy they were and they might buy groceries and other necessities elsewhere if they don't "listen" to the wants and needs of their "no longer silent" customer base. She actually received several return e-mails from walmart thanking her for voicing her opinions and for her business.I know several other family members did the same,too.(We have family in AZ and FL too) I'm not saying this was the big impact that caused walmart to start putting fabric back in stores,but...letting them know doesn't hurt,I guess

Agreed, my wife being a "ZMS" kinda a team leader over multiple departments they pull bodies as needed & where they are needed.

So the guy in sporting goods may need to mix paint, pull pallets for stock, or walk his or her department.

I think SG's department should be more like there jewlery department or the vision centers where they have dedicated employees in those departments.

On the downside the people associates in jewlery are easy targets for shoppers who want an associate to help them elswhere.

I applied for a job at the Anderson Walmart and told them I wanted to work in the sporting goods. I can guarantee if they ever hire me I'll make darn sure that the counter is taken care of by someone knowledgeable about firearms and ammo (not pretending to be an expert on ALL guns and ammo, but I certainly know a whole lot more than the people they usually have there) However, I'm not holding my breath.

 

[thumperdogg]

In Muncie I have to track someone down in both stores to call another person to open the case!!!

 

[fullmetaljesus]

The closest one to me, N Keystone, barely has a sporting goods dept so I doubt they will ever get guns.

We should start pushing on them to get in gear

 

[mizzi]

Some carry ammo, some carry ammo & guns, some carry nothing... Probably up to "market" research, manager looking at revenue, lawyers determining some walmarts could be in risky places so they don't carry anything more than airsoft, space, and other miscellaneous factors. Being based in Arkansas and not NY.

Not my first, second, or third option for ammo, definitely wouldn't purchase a firearm there under any circumstances, but nice to know if I need some ammo at 3 am the 24 hour Walmart could be a solution! Hahahaha!
