No Walmart ammo orders being accepted

[87iroc]

I'm not concerned with the box stores meeting with them...its when they start doing things like Dick's did that I'll tkae notice.

Walmart not taking orders...I'm thinking has a whole lot to do with supply disruptions at this point. TulAmmo probably is wanting to jack up prices on Walmart would be my guess.

It should be interesting to see when things return to normal what stores start to carry again.

The store I was at limited all ammo purchases to four combined boxes of anything, regardless of caliber.

Walmart is about money. Walmart is the largest ammo seller in the country.

They make money hand over fist over hand over fist.

I am guessing the backorders are piled so high, they are just shutting down the backorders for awhile.

Not to sound silly but back when I was in high school working at a grocery store Rice Krispie treats first came out... they were so popular they would sell out within hours of being put on the shelf. No kidding.

Anyway, we tried to order dozens of cases and the back order was so long, they just put every store on a one case plan.

Moral of the story? Just because the krispie treats aren't on the shelf, doesn't mean they don't want to sell them. Word.

Wal mart

So idk if its true for all stores I was talking with a manager and they seen say that there going to stop stocking ammunition completely.Idk whats going on hope its just a rumor anyone else here anything?

Warehouse out. This is pretty common on popular ammo all the time. It's worse when there is panic buying. When the DC can't keep it in, you can't order. What does come in will be distributed to the stores with the best sales.

Those evil, rotten bastards.

I call BS. I have been to multiple Walmarts around here and each one is telling me how they are ordering as much as possible. They are selling out of .22LR, .223, and 7.62x39 almost as soon as they arrive. While there are some anti-gun shareholders, 100% of them are pro-profit.

There was another thread about this I saw yesterday. I don't know if its true, but seems like when I go check 'me out, it seems like they enacted this policy a month ago.

 

[HARVEYtheDAMNED]

Probably just due to demand. No way Wal-Mart is gonna stop selling ammo, they like money too much.l

 

[Silver-z28]

Talked to a few of the day people in sporting goods they said that how its sounding now is that most walmart will stop selling ammo. They said it would prob be mid spring early fall before it happened though. Idk if its just the stores who dont stock guns or all together. I cant see it happening just thought Id see if anyone else heard about the rumor or knew anymore info.

 

[netsecurity]

That is probably because they don't want to pay someone to sit on the phone doing background checks for every sale once that becomes the law.

 

[Landon]

I thought they already had, they never have much on the shelf.

 

[jve153]

from my understanding it is up to the GM to stock/not stock ammunition/firearms at their particular store. the walmart by my work does not stock ammunition, however those around it do. the one in brownsburg even has rifles.

 

[Jubba]

It is just due to demand. We get in a little ammo on each truck. It is still coming, we just can't order it. The last night I worked, I got in several cases of various calibers. I got off at 8 am and almost all of it was gone.

 

[jgreiner]

I wasn't quite sure where to post this,but...

For what it's worth, Local Wally World in Elkhart CR6 said his manager tried to place an ammo order today and was told by home office that no ammo orders are allowed right now.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the Biden group talk that Walmart is supposed to attend....

Also, they still had some Tul Ammo 223 @ $5.27 box (prob 15-20 boxes left about 30 minutes ago).

no, i talked to the local manager at mine...he said it was because the warehouses are empty, that is why the stores can't order.

You have gun control in a nut shell...you can have all the guns you want...you just can't have ammo for them. The Constitution says nothing about ammo. You can bear arms they just wont be loaded.

 

[midget]

I can shed a little bit of light on this. Unless the policies for Walmart has changed in the last several years, their inventory control is not based in each store. The home office decides what and where products get shipped to. So it is likely that while the stores may be requesting more ammunition supplies, the home office is denying them as it does not follow standard operating procedure.

Ammunition is integral with "arms". That's an argument that couldn't pass constitutional scrutiny.

However, I heard on NPR (being informed requires listening to both sides) that a bill was introduced to require the same NCIS check on ammo purchases that we have for firearms.

Rumor that Wal Mart has halted ammunition orders

Just heard this can anyone verify?
