Only went there once years ago because I wanted another box of 300 wsm when I was shooting at Oakdale and
never saw a reason to go back and certainly will not now.

Ok, got it. Doesn't Target carry those at a better price?

Now they are stopping all sales, hi cap mags and breaking the law by discriminating by age by refusing to sell any firearm, including rifles and shotguns, to anyone under 21. Don’t think they can do that.


It’s a company policy, not a law. They are certainly within their rights to implement a policy like that, as they should be.

Does Wal-Mart really even still sell guns?

Last time I bought one there there was one person for the whole store that could actually process the paper work and if that person was not there you had to come back. After trip 2 it was evident that that person really did not have the skills necessary to do any kind of volume of that business.

Now that I think of it, if you went into a Wal-Mart at age 18 to buy a gun you would likely be 21 by the time it came to check out so sound like a solid policy for them.

They have much larger selection elsewhere. Walmart Anchorage’s gun counter is similar in size to Fleetfarm but sells larger calibers and likely, more volume.

Never shopped there to begin with. Their selection was pathetic. Even on non-gun stuff. Went in there looking for Christmas presents last year and walked out empty handed. They know they are not a gun store and this is just a marketing ploy. Also been suggested it's a political ploy because his daughter might run for office again in NY.

Please, their golf selection is pitiful. Go to Martin's in Myrtle Beach if you want a golf store.
Dicks can go out of business and no one will ever know they existed. Hey, maybe that jerk who owns camping world can but them too and sell us more cheap junk.

Uh, Myrtle beach is a bit of a drive. Dicks is the closest place to me that has Pro V1’s, I will not be losing a lesser ball on the courses. Online is the answer.
