Here is our local Walmart ad    |
|
Quoted: My mom bought me my first AR back in 85 from Montgomery Wards! Quoted: I remember when they stocked Colt AR's as an everyday item. Handguns were in the front case. I still have the revolver my dad bought new at K-Mart of all places. That was in the 70's. Out of owning dozens of AR's in my life it was my only Colt.... My dumb ass lost it at a pawn shop a few years later  |

The Wal Mart by my work doesn't even sell ammo. ugh you live in Illinois. Every other Wal Mart I go to sells ammo, none sell guns around here though that I know of. There is a large minority population by my work and I wonder if this is why that Wal Mart doesn't sell ammo? |

Quoted:
. AR's under $600?  Yep-it's a cheapened version, but who actually uses the forward assist and dustcover anyway? For the average shooter the only reasons to have either are because they want as close as possible to what's being carried overseas/what they carried while enlisted and/or because they "just wanted an AR15" and the rifle they happened to buy had those features. Yes, both items have a very real use but if omitting them gets more of the rifles out in the public's hands by all means skip both. Then again, an AR can be built from a kit for a similar price(slightly less if going with Crapthorne, only slightly more if going with a decent kit builder). |

Quoted:
Where in Iowa? I'm a short drive on I35 to the Iowa border. May need to get one of the flyers and take it into my local Walmart. See what they say when I ask for one of the rifle deals Mason City is getting one of each, transferred from a Minnesota store. Something about how Walmart's company policy isn't compatible with Minnesota's "assault rifle" permit system so the rifles are being transferred to a store that can sell them. |

Quoted:
"Modern Sport Rifle". I'm cool with that. Especially if it will make AR's more acceptable to mainstream America. That term has been around for a couple of years. I'm not sure who coined it but it works well to combat the everpresent and innacurate "assault rifle" or as the WP and NYT like to say, "semi-automatic assault weapon". I've noticed that the NRA, many manufactuers and a lot of the shooting associations have adopted it. It helps a lot to combat the demonization of AR type rifles. |

I saw the same flier the other day when I was there.
Went back to sporting goods and they didn't have any guns. I asked the lady if they had them some place else. She said "We don't be sellin' no damn guns here". I then asked her if they could order it for me. She said " We don't be sellin' no damn guns at this store". So I asked her why they had a flier for gun sales if they " Don't be sellin' no damn guns at this store"? She turned and walked away. |

This makes me happy.
Having the AR-15 and "COLT M4" as a regularly stocked item at wal-mart is a STRONG argument for "common use" regarding the Heller decision. $1,100 for a combat worthy carbine is actually a pretty good deal. And those accessories are impressive for anyone but a gun-shop to have... Not my choices in gear... But impressive. Wal-mart is also carrying concealment holsters now... WOOT! |

Walmart steppin' it up for the 2A. 
Still won't buy from them. ETA: FIRST Curious why not? I know you were asking him and not me, but their support for healthcare reform is one reason why I prefer to not shop there. My wife goes there from time to time, though. |
