Wal-Mart Is Going Back to the Way it Used To Be!

(1/3) > >>

y0diggity:
Wal-Mart has started carrying AR-15's (M4) and the Judge Rifles. I've heard that they may be looking at bringing back handgun sales as well.
They have an M4 currently for $897 by Bushmaster and another that I didn't look too closely at that's camouflage and by another manufacturer for $997.
Have you guys seen these at your local stores?
I was checking the Bushy out at ours (Scottsbluff) but we don't have the other one. I saw the Camo one in Cheyenne yesterday.

What do you guys think? I'm personally excited about it. The more the merrier.

The positive side I see to it is to make firearms more "acceptable" and commonplace in the mind of the public.  As firearms disappeared from first the hardware stores and department stores (like Sears), it also carried the connotation that guns must be bad.  So, yeah, I'm glad to see Wally World stocking them again, even if it is only for the profit line.

On the flip side, I prefer to buy from the mom & pop gunshops.  They are the ones that stuck it out when Wally pulled the guns and deserve our support to help keep 'em in business.  It's also been rare when I can't find as good or better deal at an independent gun shop as I can find at Wal-mart.   In most case the independent owners also offer better service and more knowledge.

I doubt the Lincoln locations will be stocking up anytime soon.

FarmerRick:
No firearms are sold at any of the Omaha metro area Walmarts that I am aware of. 
The whole sporting goods sections are half the size of what they used to be.   :(

I think the new Gretna store sells boomsticks.
