    Walmart ammo

    Well in anticipation of ammo sales in July I've been stocking up on my favorite Walmart ammo. Yesterday I was doing my weekly shopping and when I got to the ammo counter I found a notice. I guess I can keep buying my ammo at Wally world it will just cost a little more.

    I buy pistol ammo at Walmart, so I need to check my local store to see if they have the same notice.

    I also buy some ammo at Big-5, so will check with them, as well.

      Was just in mine 2 days ago getting some Win Nato. No sign then. I'll be back there tomorrow and check.

        This is good news in that it means at least some Walmarts will continue selling Ammo.

          That's great. I kept thinking Walmart wouldn't sell since they didn't want to deal with the hassle. I'll still stock up though

            Wasn't there going to be a restriction on how much ammo you can purchase as well? Or was that removed.

              Same sign went up last week at mine as well. The sign is relatively small. It was on the outside of the long gun ammo side/case. If there's no sign, there's a chance your store may stop selling. The clerk told me the lower volume stores may stop because they can't justify the added cost of manning/maintaining the new procedure. No further detail to which stores though.

                Since we're here . . . isn't there a link that shows the Walmarts ammo and inventory ? - thanks

                  Only supercenters will sell ammo.

                      It's is nice that they are going to continue to sell. I have been finding decent prices on range/plinking pistol ammo lately.

                      The one week pause on selling is so that Walmart can roll out their new computer system to facilitate the sales.

                      I can afford $1 when I buy 500 at a time. The whole thing sucks, but it is nice that Walmart is still supporting us.

                        Walmart has always had good $ on ammo. I bought a bunch 11-12/18 anticipating the then 1/1/19 would have been the start date of this new ammo purchase law. I will see if my local Walmart is going to continue selling as of 7/19

                        I will check out "how CA laws effect me" thread to see wtf the 411 is on what this "background" check is and how the anticipated system will work. Won't be surprised if "RealID" becomes a component at some point...although this is a "CA state" thing, not Fed.

                          I wonder if a case can be made to do away with the 10 day waiting period since they can obviously do an instant check for ammo?

                            I think they’re well aware, and that’s how gun purchases are in free states (without CCW). But CA believes there should be a “cooling off” period even though you may already own an arsenal.
