    Even if they do stop selling ammo altogether, it's bad news, but it will only affect some shooters. I can't even remember what decade it was when any Walmart anywhere close to me sold ammo.

      Yes, Walmart is going to continue to sell ammo come Jan 1. All employees who handle ammo and all upper management have to be live-scanned and get a CoE. It's already in the works.

        If you're interested in shooting, my advice is to buy what you need now; especially shotgun ammo and rimfire. Then start buying reloading gear and components.

          And that plan should have started last year, not just today.

            if you axe your brother in law, shouldn't it be "He should know or off with his head" ?

            By the way, in most places its against the law to axe your brother in law, what kind of guns you got ? I might be willing to store them for you

              Sept - Oct should be a good time to stock up (ASAP)

              Nov - Dec might see some last minute hoarding (you snooze you lose)

              dont be the guy that reports the shelves are empty or they pulled the ammo

              it seems random stuff like that happens when things are looking good? one day it's just fine, the next day / week it's gone!

                Everything else I make at my reloading bench already anyway.

                  At the same time, ammo is only a microscopic portion of the profits that walmart makes. It may be all you buy there, but to them the profits from ammo is peanuts

                    It's so sad seeing Californians freaking out over ammo when it will be as easy as buying out of state, regardless of state law. 90% of Californians will skirt that new rule when it comes out and I don't blame them. 90% of Californians already don't abide by state law here. You see it everyday at the range.

                    I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

                      That would be awesome if your brother in law can get us an "inside" update

                        I was thinking the same thing, I've never bought ammo at Walmart because they refuse to sell it in Contra Costa County for some reason. The lady at the Antioch store told me it was because some nutjob grabbed a shotgun and ammo and went on a shooting spree.

                          Yeah I have so much shotgun stuff I actually gave some away to a member here awhile back for lack of space. My .223/.556 and 22lr is good too go , but I recently picked up a G19 and am starting the run on 9mm storage.

                          I just refuse to pay a fee to buy ammo i'm sorry. Maybe i'm cutting off my nose to spite my face but it is what is. All these fees for everything is starting to get me warm. I have storage ammo and range ammo sorted out and I feel comfortable for now. Just need to start the 9mm run. If all else fails maybe i'll get my wife and kids to move and we won't have to worry anymore.

                            Go figure a similar thing happened with an axe or a baseball bat at the Lakewood Walmart IIRC. All bs aside Walmart is Walmart but sometimes the price is right.

                              both salinas walmart store managers told me that direction from corporate is they will do what it takes to sell ammo in california. i know here in salinas the new turners will be right next door to walmart. so buy your guns at turners then go next door to walmart where the ammo will be way cheaper. right down the street is dicks and wlamrts everyday ammo prices are normally lower than dicks sale price on most ammo, except black friday etc. and big five who is higher than dicks. so in salinas walmart would be silly to not sell ammo still. and it will most likely be our cheapest legal ammo seller.

                                I bet .05 that walmart keeps selling ammo in CA.
