Walmart Will Not Change Practices

By Aaron Spuler | January 14, 2013 |

With the rumors flying around that Walmart will continue to sell what ammunition remains on the shelves but not order any further stock, I could not find any direct sources for the decision.

I contacted executives at Walmart and spoke with Ashley in the media relations department. She informed me that those rumors are false. Walmart will not change their practices and will continue to sell ammunition in their stores. There have not been any corporate directives to stop selling ammunition.

    Then they should say so, publicly.

    I just got this via twitter. (I referenced this blog entry in my original tweet to @gunpolicy) Not sure who @carolinatarh33l is, nor who at WalMart they talked to.

    carolinatarh33l ‣ @evilcyber @gunpolicy Just called Walmart and was told that the rumors are true…literally called 10 minutes ago (RT, ¶, @, ☆, #) 14:37

    See how they did not reference ordering any new ammo, just that they wouldn’t be stopping selling any. Of course they want to get rid of what they have.

    It’s not about selling, it’s about placing large re-orders to replace sold-out stocks

    I just seen the date on the sign so I guess it could be true the store where I live just got some in on the 13th and they said they had more coming but who can tell.
