Walmart stops selling ammo

[Mike of the Mountain]

PA Wally Worlds are still selling ammo. I don't shop there but we do have shooters who buy at the Tunkhannock store on their way here.

They sell it in Texas

There would be an armed rebellion if WM stopped selling ammo in my neck of the woods in North Missouri. (And I’m sure my neighbors have enough stashed away to stage such a rebellion. )

It's a regional thing. The Wal-Mart stores in and around the Fredericksburg, Virginia area still sell firearms and ammunition.

I just read that the original Dick's store in Binghamton, NY is closing. They made a massive mistake when they dropped the sales of firearms, ammunition, and hunting gear. I don't think they even have fishing gear anymore.

My wife's home town, I shopped there for over 40 years every time we visited there. They dug their own grave when they stopped catering to the "blood sports." Another classic example of "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" in retail!

I wonder when some "no blood" supermarket is going to discontinue meat and fish???

I used to buy my NYS non-resident license there on my way home to CNY or to the ADK. I always thought it was nice that they still displayed hunting clothes and gear in the old storefront windows.

I have not been in a few since now you can just purchase the license and print it out on-line.

My suspicion is Dick's will eventually go the way of many retail stores. Quietly closing locations down.

Yes I always went to the old original store on Upper Front Street where they first started out to get my license for grouse hunting. My FIL inherited and owned A. L. Davis Feed and Hardware, downtown a couple of blocks up from the "Minuteman" statue right where the Chenango River runs into the Susquehanna. They sold everything from loose shot in bins to huge farm combines. Unfortunately he sold out years before I met my wife. He remembered selling Parkers (mostly used) and lots of Ithacas, Remingtons and Winchesters over the years. Broke my heart when he told me his go-to "bush" gun for grouse was a Winchester Model 12 28 gauge bored IC. He claimed no one would buy it because it wouldn't "shoot close", so he claimed it for himself. He couldn't remember who he sold it to, a store employee most likely. It is still out there!

I think Allen was looking in the wrong department.
