Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting Ammunition at Wal-Mart = Maybe not so good

[Flying_gage]

Was haunting my local stores in an attempt to see if I could scrounge a box or two of ammo. Stopped at local Wal-Mart and inquired as the case was pretty bare from my last visit, (2 days ago). Manager told me that corporate advised shipments have ceased for ammunition. Now, he didn't qualify for how long... Yet he didn't sound optimistic.



My hope is my local store screwed up somewhere. My fear is that Wal-Mart, as the nations number one ammo supplier, is hedging it's bets; they want to deplete in house stock so as to reduce financial liability should ammo become unsaleable.



It is a WAG, yet not a stupid one.



At the very least, (if the case) it should free up distributors from "contracts" they have with wal-mart and get it into other stores.



Thoughts?

This is all giving me an ulcer! I just saw the guy stocking ammo at one of the Reno stores today. Not a lot, but some. It's going to get even more interesting now that New York just passed a heinous bill against legal gun owners.

Here's a link to news coverage. Once again, nothing regarding guns that will help with crime.
