Was at walmart picking up groceries and saw the general manager, and decided to stop him and chat about ammo and firearm sales. Below is an abridged version of the conversation. (Mods if this is in the wrong section feel free to move.)
Me: how are you doing? who makes the decision on ammunition ordering and other firearms related stock.
Manager: it is all on allocation from the federal government.
Me: Really, I didn't know that. Why is it that way?
Manager: Because, I sell ammo, pharmaceuticals, food, and everything else they regulate how much I can stock and sell.
Me: Are you sure that is not a Walmart policy, and not a government policy? The Plainfield and Brownsburg stores always seem to have more stock then you.
Manager. I could order a 1,000 cases and only send me 1 because of allocation. That just the way it is.
Me: do you plan to start selling firearms like the Brownsburg store has recently started doing.
Manager: No! I go the the Greencastle store to buy guns and order all my ammo from Cabelas. There is too much red tape to selling guns. I still have my FFL from 9 years ago when I opened the store and I like my job and want to keep it so we will not be selling any guns.
Me: That is too bad, well have a nice to day.
Not want I wanted to here from him. Thought I would share with the rest of INGO. AVON Walmart will never sell guns while under current management.
