Walmart ammo

[Rakso]

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.

Always cheaper than anybody else, always. For the exact same type of ammo that is.

1: I have found the online inventory checkers to be way off.
2: They are having to pull out the current Point Of Sale systems in the stores which will continue to sell ammo. And replace them with new ones just for the ammo counters. Some testing has been going on but I have heard there are still issues. Hope the bugs are worked out by then.
3: Yes, only certain stores will continue to sell ammo. Mostly super centers. Those who no longer will sell ammo, have been sending ammo back to the distribution centers or directly to stores.

Thanks for the reminder, stopped by Wal-Mart and picked up 1000 rounds of 9mm.

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?

For a moment I thought you meant there will be a 10-day waiting period for ammunition sales.

Basic calibers are always available and stocked well in my local Walmart.
$1 isn’t bad but that’s $1 I don’t need to spend...

I hope CRPA has a lawsuit planned for all this. This is like charging me to vote.

[sigstroker]

Free voting for illegals tho.

Everyone should have stocked up last year from Target Sport or SG Ammo when there was no sales tax and sometimes free shipping.

It is not about spend an extra buck. They will keep track of your purchase and info. I dont trust some guy working at walmart making minimum wage with my personal info.

I've been "dollar cost averaging" ammo purchases for 4 years now. Freedom Munitions did this with 5% off too. Ammoseek, Gunbot, SGAMMO, FM, and others.

Those were the days my friend.

Well.....What I heard was..come July1. 2019...

Walmart & other "Ammo Vendors" will charge $1 to enter your info (via your valid CDL) into the "data" base to see if you've DROS a firearm in Ca since 2014. If you have, then the $1 fee will be added to your ammo purchase cost. You would be charged this $1 fee everytime you purchased ammo. Estimated time is approx. 10 minutes to hear back from DOJ.

If you haven't DROS a firearm in Ca since 2014, then the buyer will have to complete a forum via the Ammo Vendor, which will be submitted to CA DOJ (very similar to DROS) along with a valid CDL This process will be a one time fee of $15 to $$20 and would be added to the 1st ammo purchase cost along with the $1 "background check " fee with every ammo purchase. Unknown how long it will take to hear back from Ca DOJ.

Not trying to spread any FUD.

Hopefully a FFL can jump in and hopefully share more info.

Agreed 110% !

We have three Walmart stores in my area and none of them sell ammo anymore

Go buy somewhere else, no? DOJ will have your info, not the employee, from Walmart or any ammo.store.
