same here if wal-mart has it that is where im going if they dont and nobody on here is selling what i need i will get it from local shopI buy from a variety of places. Local shops, Indy 1500, wal mart, etc.
I personally just wish more places would carry ammo and guns.
America products at an american store? I know walmart is currupt as hell but it dosent matter where you buy something. Blazer is still blazer no matter where it is bought at. Busides why pay 15-20 a box at a gun shop when I can get the same stuff for 11? Money is too tight to play favorites. The shops charge to much. They need to stop crying and lower theyre prices. I almost never buy ammo at the shop unless I need good defensive stuff.

NRA Statement on Bloomberg - Wal-Mart Initiative to Retain Store Records of Gun Sales and Force Employee Background Checks
Monday, April 14, 2008
Statement by Chris Cox:
“Today’s announcement by New York City (NYC) Mayor Mike Bloomberg comes as no surprise to National Rifle Association (NRA) members across the country. None of these joint Wal-Mart/Mayor Bloomberg initiatives will lower crime, because they ignore the real cause of crime -- criminals.
Mayor Bloomberg has long confused his NYC mayoral podium for a national bully pulpit from which he feels entitled to push his personal gun control agenda outside NYC. Now, instead of trying to impose his philosophy on other cities and states, Mike Bloomberg has set his sights on our country’s largest retailer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
Bloomberg proves his disdain for individual firearm ownership, and his assertion that only the privileged should own a firearm and should have the right to defend themselves and their loved ones.
Mayors and Wal-Mart Back Gun Sales Plan

A coalition of mayors in favor of gun control, led by Michael R. Bloomberg of New York and Thomas M. Menino of Boston, said on Monday that it had reached a 10-point agreement with Wal-Mart, the country's largest seller of guns, to track the sale of firearms more closely.
The agreement between Wal-Mart and the group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, which Mr. Bloomberg helped to organize in 2006, calls for turning a more watchful eye on firearm sales, including videotaping sales of guns and conducting criminal background checks on store clerks who handle guns.
It also calls for keeping a record each time the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives links a gun bought at Wal-Mart to a crime. If a person who buys a gun linked to a crime were to return to a Wal-Mart to buy another gun, the purchase would be flagged. It would then be up to the store whether to permit the purchase.
Yup, Wal-Mart keeps EXTRA records, and video tapes of transactions at the gun counter. From what I understand everyone who buys ammo or guns is videotaped and that tape is kept. The record of the sale is also maintained.
I've never completed a sale at the sporting goods desk for ammo. They hand it to me and I go to the front to check out after I complete my shopping. So, I guess I'm not on camera.
So what? Why care?
I think some people need to realize that walmart buys in such bulk that it is hard for the small gun shop owner to stay competive with walmart. Walmart probably orders pallets of ammo,were as the small guy orders a couple of boxes. He has to make up his shipping and make money also. I will pay a couple of dollars more to help. walmart makes theres up in bulk orders. Just as many of you do through bulk orders of ammo now times that buy a million thats walmarts buyin power.
I buy from a variety of places. Local shops, Indy 1500, wal mart, etc.
I personally just wish more places would carry ammo and guns.
