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

<< < (3/3)

The local shops here in Scottsbluff are part of the "good ol' boy network". If you're not part of their circle, then the prices they offer you are going to be ridiculous. I get the best prices at Cabela's, seriously. I went to one of my local shops before I made my most recent purchase and they wanted to charge me $100 more for the same gun. They wouldn't come down off the price either. I'd love to support my local shops, but I have to support my family too. I don't mind paying a bit more, really I don't, but I'm not going to let you take me for $100. If they would at least try to offer me a reasonable price, I'd be more than happy to deal with them, but they don't and I don't think that's fair. Meanwhile, I know others who go into the same stores and walk out with awesome deals! How's that working?
I've not bought any guns from Wal-Mart and I don't know if I ever will, but I like the thought that they make it even more accessible AND acceptable by stocking them.

Bellevue is "Metro-Omaha area" and they have had guns, ammo, cleaning supplies, etc, since they opened.

Now you are aware of it.  ;D

Seriously, Walmart stocks what sells.  I know some of them sell handloading supplies...... if an item isn't moving, they'll stop stocking it, and use the space for something that will move.

You want your local WallyWorld to stock guns? Ask for them.  Then buy them when they come in.

The fella that usually works in the south Lincoln Walmart (hiway 2) is actually very knowledgeable about his firearms. (well yes, I did slip him a card and invite him ;) ) The 84th street Walmart (we call it yuppy-mart) only sells ammo and accessories.  27th street sells long guns and blackpowder, but the associates there are a little  questionable when it comes to knowledge.  Price-wise, I have noticed they are usually in line with good local shops.

The thing I hate about buying stuff at walmart is trying to get anyone there to help you.  The only one I ever have luck with is when the older gentleman at the south Lincoln store is working.  He's pretty helpful.  Otherwise you have to track down someone to unlock the ammo cabinet, and good luck finding anyone who can do that.

It's good that black guns are acceptable enough that Walmart sells them, but when I can I prefer to support real gun stores.
