Re: No guns at the Wal Mart

Wal mart quit selling guns in SOME of their stores. From what I was told, those stores simply were not moving enough guns, and the errors on paperwork kind of had a bit to do with the reasoning for why they decided to cut guns out of the stores with the lowest sales.

Some stores move a lot of guns, and they are not likely to be in jeopardy any time in the real near future.

Same here only the walmart in my town has one of the highest sales, so they still have guns. BUT, BUT they are reducing the number of different guns they carry, Hunting section gets smaller and smaller each year. How long till it's all gone?????? For that reason I started buying from local gun shops. I'll pay more for guns or ammo elsewhere to help the local places stay in business. Walmart doesn't care about us hunters or gun owners, it's a very small amout of there sales.

Re: No guns at the Wal Mart

I've got a friend who is a Wal-Mart manager. He said what a big part of the issue is that Wal-Mart doesn't spend enough time training people how to do the paperwork. If they make a mistake, the coorperation hangs the employee out to dry with the govt. Emplyoees are then unwilling to sell the guns, sales go down then the store stops selling them. He said it's actually built into the system that they will be phased out as more untrained workers are unwilling to sell.

Basically it's a way for them to stop selling guns without just comming out and doing it.

When the old man died the whole company went to ****! mad.gif

Our local Wally world still has guns..but they aren't in the little revolving cases like they used to be...they are behind the counter in a case far enough away that you can't see prices well or actually see the guns! Have to ask to look at one...and usally no one behind the counter.

As for hiring/training folks how to fill out the paper work...they must be hiring some real educated folks...the paper work isn't that hard to figure out!

It's more of a business move than anything. They want to move the merchandise in the stores that have sold them well in the past. What they are trying to do is eliminate the non-moving inventory, which is wasted merchandise dollars that they could use for something else. I used to be a store manager for SAMS club, they do this thing all the time. Its a smart business decision.
