A few years ago, I drove passed a homer's depot(still do) and 2 Menard's stores to get to MFF. Lately, I've been lucky if they have 1/2 the stuff I intended to purchase when I walked in.

They seem to have a serious inventory control problem. FWIW: I think the addition of ARs and handguns to their gun selection was relatively recent(maybe 10 years?). I don't recall seeing anything but a few hunting shotguns and rifles before that.

That is correct

it seems to me that the self defense/ sporting arms marketing began about the same time Stewart III became more visible; not certain which was cause, or effect.
Beyond FF's inventory issues, at least at the Oakdale store - there has been a fair bit of 're-merchandising'...moving stuff around the store, associating certain items with different departments. At the same time there was a distinct change in the level of on-the-floor staff.
The end result is not knowing where some things were now located, and far fewer people to help find it.
Add to that longer check out lines due to fewer cashiers.
Having some history in retailing, I am always sensitive to how much I intended to spend when I walked in vs how much I actual spent.
If all customers are down to 40% - 60% range, as I am, there is some serious money walking out the door that will be spent elsewhere.
