Reading the comments itâs good to see that people are emailing Walmart corporate and letting them know what a bad choice they made.

To be honest, our emails wonât change one thing. Walmart is gonna stand firm on this, especially in this current climate. And because of El Paso. Of course concealed carry is still permitted. Just mark them off the list because Walmart is big enough to accept the loss for what would be perceived as the greater good for the public. I wonât spend one dime with them, thatâs to be sure. 2A til after my dying day!!!

I disagree Tex (respectfully). Walmart may not change but you can bet other retailers are watching.

@TX_M, just tell 'em why. If they want to stand, let them know what it costs. Maybe they shift, maybe they donât. Companies do sometimes course correct, but not unless they know whatâs biting them.

I respect that. And thatâs exercising our rights within itself.

Just e-mailed them. The fact that they are still selling some ammo suggests they know this wonât be popular with their customers.

They said they will stop selling after existing stock sells out. Be sure to email Walmart Corporate and tell them how you feel.

This is a shame, walmart has already caused local grocery stores to close around here. Almost no choice here without paying more for food.

Weâre going to pay the difference. But we buy local when we can anyway. Just going to be a bit more diligent about it now.

This is typicality what happens of Walmart @John150 The normal situation is Walmart builds and mom and pop type establishments pretty much dry up.

Honestly, I can see this as a business decision. They arenât selling much if any, they get to cut down their inventory and virtue signal at the same time. I think their sales show firearms account for 2% of the total across all retailers and ammunition counts for the 20-some % mark. This, in my opinion, is where theyâre trying to reach for the customer base they donât have. I think the Chinese tariff situation will fix them in time anyways. I donât shop there. I can go elsewhere, pay 1-3 cents more per item and avoid their lines lol

Wow, just watched the report. In California it is already illegal to open carry and we already have background checks, and now they arenât going to sell pistol ammo nation wide. I am tried of hearing about these evil people messing it up for law abiding citizens and then the citizens get treated like a bunch of little kids, like itâs our fault. There is always going to be evil in this world and the only way to change it, is to change the persons Heart one person at a time. This is what happens when people react off emotions and donât think logically.

Iâm not really a Walmart customer, only on occasion I have used RIA money transfer to send money, which are inside by Walmart customer service desks. Itâs just a very symbolic gesture from Walmart its never going to stop a criminal from purchasing ammunition elsewhere and itâs going to be good for your local gun shop. The thing about it is that once again we decent law abiding citizens who own millions of guns have to be lumped into our local, state, and federal politicians âfeel goodâ hypocritical policies because a company such as Walmart will not stand up to the antigunner leftists in our country. Every time without fail this happens and law abiding people like you and me have to pay for it because some nut job shooter shoots up a soft target aka (Gun Free Zone)

I donât buy ammo at Walmart. I buy from my gun dealer, Hoodâs Guns and More. If he goes out of business, Rural King is across from Walmart, and they are Pro-2A.

What I have been doing today, and will continue to do forever, is to tell other merchants in advance that in the event they ever do what Walmart and others have done, they will lose my family business and that of my firm forever. Today I started with Kroger where we buy all of our groceries and Atwoods where I buy handgun ammo and other products from time to time, in both stores telling local managers to pass the word up to line to corporate.
After several years of being an everyday customer who spent thousands of dollars per year in their local store, I got fed up with Walmart and swore them off years ago. They automatically assume that any customer who walks in the door is a criminal. Their âgreetersâ are actually exit guards. And I refuse to be stopped to have my receipt checked. I"ve told them so, and they donât care.
I swore off Academy, too, when they moved their ARs to the back room in response to the Florida shooting. I told them that since they showed themselves to be ashamed of selling ARs, I was then ashamed to be their customer, and they could do without my business.
A few years ago a local convenience store I stop in occasionally changed ownership, and the new owners posted 30.06 and 30.07 signs, which in Texas prohibits both open and concealed carry. I stuck my head in the door and told the clerk to tell her new boss that I wouldnât come back in their store until those signs came down. Next time I drove by there the signs had been removed.
FedEx customer service has told me that corporate managementâs policy is that only the military and police should own âassault rifles.â Since that time, every time my family or my firm looks to buy anything from a merchant over the internet, if the merchant ships only by FedEx, we call them and tell them that although we had budgeted to spend quite a bit with them, we wonât do business with them unless they provide us with an alternate shipping carrier, and we explain our reason to them. Some say they are pro-gun and agree with us and will look into the matter further. Others say they will make an exception for us and ship with another carrier. Other say they donât care, or they agree with FedEx, and are happy for us to shop elsewhere.
You have to understand that many of these merchants donât know that these issues are import to us, and they donât know that there are large numbers of us. Many, once itâs explained to them, are happy to do what they can to help out.

The bigger impact will be not on lost ammo revenue but in lost customer revenue⊠if 2A folks walk their entire business elsewhere. We donât spend much on ammo there anyway because we choose to buy ammo through firearms-focused businesses, but we do (did) use them as our primary general shopping venue⊠and thatâs a fair amount of dollars.
Yes, we do that as well.
Yes, this ^^^
