Just paid a visit to our local Wally_World MART. First ? for the dude in the G&A- sporting goods dept- (1) How about .22 LR ammo- as I can use it in my Colt MTW and Ruger MK1 Bull barrel target pistols- along with the 6 .22 rifles I own- No problemo-- Big Wally will sell you all the .22 ammo you can pay for- So I stocked up-
They also had a good amount of 9mm and also .38 Special ammo- The latter cal. works fine in my Colt Python wheelgun-- a little short on the .45ACP ammo- but I dropped a "C" note, which also covered a real steal- they had 12 gauge Rem 12 gauge Nitro sporting clays shells- 1&1/8 oz./1300 fps. at $5.97 plus 6% tax--beats the pricing at Bass-Ackwards Blow your Pro Shoppes.

Power back after four days, Geo. Nothing that a Vermont wood stove, Husqvarna 365 chain saw and Honda generator couldn't fix! Dorian downgraded appeared manageable approaching coast but got mixed with a trough, intensified, and gave a good smack.

Fox, Are you sure the Walmart STS Nitro 1300 FPS were $5.97? Were they on sale? Around here, they are $6.97 which is still a great deal for premium shells like the STS.
Socialism is almost the worst.

People have every right to boycott Walmart for their decisions. Others also have the right to pick and choose what they buy there. I will likely continue to go there on occasion to buy things, made in America, that I cannot buy in any other local stores. Everything sold there doesn't come from China. They, and some others, may think they are using me. Well ............ I'm using them ....... to purchase American made things I can't get any other place here.

May God bless America and those who defend her.

That's good, Stan. I personally don't go in any large box stores. I will pay more if I have to. Jim

I will continue to shop at WALMART. They are a good company in a difficult political situation. They have long been "pro-gun" and "pro-hunting." And still are!
WALMART provides employment to several hundred thousand regular people in all 50 states. Any boycott would hurt these employees, who may be your neighbors and relatives.

I don't know about the effectiveness or appropriateness one way or another of a boycott. That retailer has a huge employee turnover and is largely an entry level employer. Mom and pop stores don't have the resources to respond, but these folks do. If they cut jobs that can measurably be shown to hurt workers in their community, I'd think it's purely their business decision and not the effect of an organized boycott. In many markets, they've bumped up unemployment by creating boycotts against their competition.
