Walmart! It's officially announced

[Cokeman]

I haven't seen .223 anywhere. Cabela's has a shelf that extends the whole length of the aisle that has .223 across the top shelf and continues onto the second shelf. It's been 100% empty. Sportsman's has had none and Wal-mart doesn't have any ammo.

Here's the solution to the 3 or 4 box limit at WallyWorld

Walk in and buy your 3 boxes. Go pay. Go to car, put this on and go back in and get 3 more boxes. Repeat as necessary

The panic buying will slow down significantly when credit card statements begin to arrive.

some people will be in a panic on trying to figure out how to pay there bill....
the last few times i've been in wally's to check on ammo, the sales person asked if thats all i wanted & smiled so i went & grabbed more..

Went back to Walmart today. >10 boxes of 410 PDX1 and >10 boxes of 7mm. That's it. Empty other than that. 3 workers behind the desk bored out of their minds.

Then JACKPOT! Stopped by Academy and they had loads, relatively speaking. Most Ive seen in months. 150+ boxes of 9mm FMJ. 100+ Monarch, 40 Gold Dot Lawman, 10 Remington. About 30 boxes of 40cal. 20 boxes of 45. Same of 308, 223, lesd of 10mm, 357, etc. Only one I didn't see was 5.56, haven't seen that since November, at least.

Hopefully we're seeing a flicker of light and the end of this ammo shortage. Maybe not. Still only allowed one box per caliber, three boxes total. Ugh.

Walmart ... yuk. Always feel the need for a shower after the rare times I go there. Bad selection, bad clerks, bad customers (sorry - I'm assuming I have never seen any of you there).

My local farm store has always been really good on prices and selection - much better than what I have seen at Walmart - but this week, for the first time, their shelves were starting to feature more dust than ammo.

This too, shall pass. I hope.

picked up another 3 box limit of .40 federal today & was talking with the lady, she told me there talking about lowering the limit per day down to 1.
she said that there no longer getting there shipment statements showing ammo listed on the incoming manifests, due to employees giving info out to friends or customers asking to scan the bar code to see if any are on the next truck.
she said the government is behind this action on the limit amount to only 1 box.

So WalMart is a government tool? Maybe they are, in which case there would be even LESS reason to go to one, but it's hard to believe that WalMart clerks would know that, one way or another.

Much more likely due to dorky WalMart internal policies having to do with preventing bare shelves, which always look bad at a retailer.

Then again, I have only been inside a WalMart twice in my life, so I might be full of ****.

I think that they "made a deal" with Obummer and crowd to keep the gub'mint from coming down harder on Walmart for a LOT of other stuff. Liberals hate Walmart and want to bring it down. Walmart got big and rich by bringing people what they wanted... mostly cheap stuff from China!

I shop there a lot, but buy MOST of my ammo online... cheaper and no tax. That has changed and all of the taxing agencies want to start "milking" that cow... and drain it to death. The states will want to tax it to and from the state and the gub'mint wants to tax all transactions. After all, it's THEIR money and THEY think we get to use TOO MUCH of it. They tax it when we make it, when we spend it, and when we die, they want the rest!

Not surprising at all
