Wal-Mart no longer selling "tactical gear"

That's what a buddy of mine over at Wally World told me today after he pointed out that everything AR related was on clearance, and once it's gone there won't be any more. There's actually some decent deals right now, the store out here's even got a Windham AR-15 for a little less than $600, and sold the Colt they had for the same.

I never liked Walmart, either, they come into small towns and run out small businesses. I'm not as worried about the made in China part, but only because it seems like everything from everywhere is at least made partly in China.

JT, I think our ammo supply is safe (for now), but they are getting rid of any firearms or parts that they deem "tactical" (I.E. AR-related). No rail sections, stocks, slings, certain optics, etc. The pic rail covers are about the only thing that hasn't been red-tagged yet.

I hate shopping there myself but price wise they are about it in my neighborhood. 

I don't mind the china thing either, if they will give us goods for worthless green paper then good for them.

As far as the political correct aspect.....that depends on perspective. In many ways it is politically correct not to shop there and I don't like to be politically correct. I know many of the most liberal areas in the east will not allow walmart to build so by default I have to support walmart.....one big grey area there. <dontknow>

They put food on my table, but I also support local as much as possible. With that said I'd never buy a gun there, we have local shops, I do buy ammo there because it's cheap and pluntiful, hate grocery shopping there, ones and two's ok cart full no fuk'n way

It is your money spend it where it benefits YOU the most, remembering your local shops, stores, cafes, mechanics, gunsmiths, that provide you help, do the best work. If there is a small price difference I always go LOCAL I won't buy any high priced vehicle, boat, gun from anyone I don't know will supply customer service. AMAZON, Brownells, Midway and sometimes other online vendors gets many orders for stuff not on the shelf locally. It is easy because Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, Sears, are at least 40 miles away. We have a local hardware-lumberyard and a mini-supermarket and a Tractor Supply store along with a decent GM and Ford Motor Co. dealer. My favorite gun dealer has always been able to supply guns, scopes at a very reasonable price. He puts it in my hand and I put cash in his hand.

Some how back in the boonies,in the woods, on the rivers, and in the swamps and back in the deserts on some farms and ranches in these United States of America good old country boys will survive ... so you hotshot price gougers, pimps, gangbangers, cop killers and ISIS savages take heed and kiss your asses bye-bye.

Amen, brother! I know just about my whole "neighborhood" can attest to that!

Local Wally World doesn't trust me, keeps all of the ammo on shelves behind a counter too far away to read.  Last time in I asked the lady clerk what they had in .308 ammo.  So she gets down on hands and knees to read the boxes, and asks me "Is that 308 the same as three-oh-oh-six?  Then, "It looks like we have three-eight, but not three-oh-eight).

 

I'm thinking maybe some stores shouldn't be selling "tactical" or any other kind of gun-related stuff.  <dontknow>

 

She did say she only works in that department part of the time................

Just checked two wally world's yesterday. Nothing up here on clearance, and lots of 5.56 AR's on the shelf. They did have Turkish ZQ1 5.56 Ammo 850 rounds in an ammo can for $457. That is 50cents a round almost. Too expensive for my blood. I did buy the last two 20 count boxes of ZQ1 7.62x51 for $9.93 each .
