Wally World Had What?!?!

I drive around a good 60 mile radius daily, so there's 3 or 4 Super Wally Worlds that I can hit, and they all carry guns and ammo. Gotta love Pennsyltucky! In fact, their Winchester 9mm price is pretty much unbeatable. Oh, and +1 on being able to buy random stuff that's seemingly unrelated at one checkout. The value of time saved can't be overstated, either.

Funny story about that, i always buy from walmart instead of gander because they overprice like crazy on there ammo by me, but everything i try to buy ammo at walmart they have to call around the store, see who has a foid card, get a manger to open the case then sell it to me. i complained to one of the only managers who had a foid card and the first thing she said was,"want a job?" I was tempted but i forgot to ask if i got a discount on ammo and shooting supplies!
Long story short IL gun laws are stupid
 
All gun laws are stupid, IMO, but we Illinoisans have some duzzies...



More incredible than all that, is that you guys all BUY ammo??? I haven't bought ammo in years. (Well, OK, 22s...) I think the last ammo I bought was Triton Quik-Shoks in the early to mid 90s. Everything I've shot has been cast and handloaded since the 80s...
 
Oh, you're buying ammo, just in pieces, and while you're sitting there putting them cartruchos together the rest of us are out blazing away!! :D

We ain't saving any money mind you, but we're sure having FUN!!! :p

VIVA Walley World!! :cool:

Haha, I have a Swedish mauser I need to start reloading for. Factory ammo prices are painful for that one! .22lr doesn't seem like it's worth reloading, to me. Last box of CCI blazer 525 pack I bought was $14 at the local shop :)
 
Rules Vary

Some Wally-Worlds have entered into agreements with city and state police - or Bloomberg - to collect personal information on all ammo buyers. Some even have cameras set up to capture your mugshot and they archive those away - just in case...
I try to avoid them if I can. Rather give my business to local shops, but the shops screw up by trying to make money on ammo. They need to be using the ammo as a loss-leader to get us into the store.
I happened to be in Lawton last week and try as I might, I never did make it to Walmart. Would have liked to have seen that AR there, even if it was a .22.
Funny thing about FOPA: That was Dad's baby. He went to Washington in 1978 with the intention of repealing much of GCA'68 and the Firearms Owners Protection was his landmark bill. (He called it the Gun Decontrol Act.) After he left ILA and Cassidy and company watered the bill down significantly they finally got it passed - with the MG ban tacked on - but people quickly started complaining that NRA had pulled a fast one because they kept finding little gems like mail-order ammo and components. Dad had embedded these provisions in various nooks and crannies to keep them off the radar. People from NRA were calling him weeks after the bill passed asking "was this really in the bill?" Had he not buried those provisions the bill probably would have done little besides providing limited safe travel through restrictive states. Much of what was in the original bill never made it through so there is still a lot of work to do.

Wally Worlds around here had ammo before and are now adding Shotguns, 22's. I haven't seen any handguns yet. Business is Business and if it adds to the bottom line they seem to be more interested now in doing business.

Good for them.

It's good to see Wal-Mart stepping up and doing what customers want and not bowing to the Politically InCorrect idiots. In Oregon we have not had problems getting guns or ammo.
Used to be you could buy guns and ammo at your local hardware store. Even thru the mail before 1934. How many school shootings were there then???
Can you even find a small hardware store?
 
Checked out one of the local Super Wally World stores in NEPA today. No M&P 15-22s, but they had a small selection of rifles (including a hot pink 22,) and shotguns, and a surprising variety of ammo-just not a whole lot of selection in 22 ammo. Plus shotgun shells out the wazoo. Funny thing is, all the brass-type ammo is locked up, but the shot shells are just out on the shelf...WT*...? But all in all, its better than nothing.

Oh, and the other question on the table:

Jeff, is this him:

Sounds like we need more politicians like him and fewer of the ones we have.

I'll have to drop by my local Walfarts to check out the new toys. Its always a decent place to buy range ammo. Thanks for the heads up Ft. Sill!
 
I will be home in a month and wifey has given me browsing privileges, will add walley world to the list of gun shops I will visit!!
 
Thanks for filling us in, Jeff. It sounds like your dad had quite a career defending gun owners rights. And strange coincidence- that L.D. Knox had a son Jeff, too. My bad. Anyway, thanks for keeping his work going, we need all the pro-gun publication and education we can get, with main stream media being so anti-gun.
