Went into panic mode and rushed to the local Walmart after being out of town for awhile. 9mm is gone, but they still have everything else. View attachment 267074
One of my patients bought 12,000 rounds of 9mm at a Walmart earlier this week.
Why so little? I abide by HIPAA if you’d like to refer him to my practice.
Can't make out calibers other than 380 ACP. If you looked, how were the 38 Special, 357 Mag, or 45 ACP prices? Discounted from their normal price?Went into panic mode and rushed to the local Walmart after being out of town for awhile. 9mm is gone, but they still have everything else. View attachment 267074
I can't imagine paying retail prices plus taxes on 12k rounds. Hasn't the dude ever heard of online discount suppliers?
Wouldn’t this be funny if it was all just a marketing ploy to sell old stock? Next week they’ll tweet that they have “reconsidered” and will continue selling.

Caught part of a program on NPR today. Sounds like the Walmart CEO has been considering options to limit their sales in the firearms marketplace since at least Parkland. The majority of the story was about strategies to put pressure on businesses and banks to interfere with this marketplace.Wouldn’t this be funny if it was all just a marketing ploy to sell old stock?

I suspect some of these folks are uncomfortable ordering on the internet, don't like credit cards (yes, there are some of these folks in the gun community), or simply unfamiliar with where to shop on the internet for ammo - so are stocking up (and because of the lack of internet shopping, don't realize that there's a slight cost savings if one knows where to shop, get reduced/free shipping, etc).Have I missed something? Are they slashing prices? Or is this an issue of people who don't have a good, cheap supply elsewhere buying it?
