Has WM pulled all firearms/ammo in response tp Philly riots?

General General Discussion
1

Just got a text from my friend out in OK…asked me to check here if WalMart has pulled all weapons & ammo out of stores, as he was told there, in response to the Philly riots.
I literally know no more than what he just asked me.
Any one see/hear this?
If so-why now? Craps been going on all year. And IF so, no biggie to me personally, just asking.
UPDATE: TRUE. Just called a local store here, they were told to pull all weapons/ammo off the shelves…BUT you CAN still buy them, just “have to ask for them”, as I was told. Nationwide, the guy said.

I’d dare say because it’s the first time a Walmart got looted like that. I mean, I don’t recall seeing anything along those lines before.

That would be unprecedented. :rolleyes:

I guess the question would be…

Who actually goes into Walmart looking for firearms these days?

6

Bubba
Elmer
Thaddeus Bancroft III, Duke of Trust Fund, only because his chef’s mechanic told him they might still have something in stock

Friggin Boogie Boys/Proud Boys/KKK/Aryan Nation/Right Wing Militias. First they ruined our peaceful protests, now WalMart…

I noticed that today at my local WM.
Strange huh?

10

Walmart? What is this “Walmart” you speak of?

11

Wal Mart pulled guns and ammo from New Orleans area stores after looting during Katrina.

12

Well since they are the #1 firearm retailer in the USA, I would say millions of rural folks do.

13

LOL. I thought they pulled everything, even ammo, after that Walmart shooting.

Walmart has pulled guns and ammo off the shelves, but they haven’t stopped selling guns and ammo. Guns and ammo were removed nation wide from display because of fears of looting and rioting. I haven’t seen an actual firearm in my local Walmart for about the last 15 years anyway. And the last time I bought ammo there was in January of 2013, right after Sandy Hook. I bought the last 3 boxes they had of .223. $7.46 ea IIRC. Remington fmj.

I can’t speak to other states or even other counties but in Philadelphia walmart pulled weapons and ammo back in 1998-00 time frame. The surrounding counties were store by store bases. The two walmarts near me, in the suburbs…one had random hunting ammo…270, 7-08, 3006, shit like that…and some Fudd rifles and the other never did. Difference in about 5 miles. Going out about 2hr away there was better selection

Because of this walmart has never been a source of ammo for me and every time I hear the two mentioned it’s about as weird as hearing Best Buy selling fishing supplies!

They changed their mind.

That they would do this only shows who they are virtue signaling for.
We’re going to hell and Walmart is leading the way dropping rose petals to cover the smell of fecal matter due to their allegence to Dollars, the Democratic Party and China over their United States.
I recommend little acts of sabotage Everytime you have to shop there.

That’s why nothing “good” happens in WM: I haven’t been in one in years. Don’t need China crap, I find enough of that on fleabay.

19

Or just not shop there.

It’s surprisingly easy to do.
