New WalMart ammo policy effective 4/29...

[Scud]

I went to WalMart in Frederick today, and... New Policy - No more than six (6) boxes of ammunition per customer, per day. This is no surprise.

If you can even find 6 boxes in Walmart, you're a luckier man than I am!

I'm not sure it is a bad thing. It would cut down on the hoarding and help bring an end to the ammo crunch.

Was this policy for that store (I'm guessing Buckeystown Pike) or corporate?

Unless they are logging names its not going to work. I could go to Walmart 3 times a day for ammo and be waited on by 3 different people. Then go to 4 different Walmarts in a 20 mile radius and do the same thing.

that's not a bad policy. the ammo will still sell it should just cut down on people buying for resale.

I can't remember the last time I shot 6 boxes in one day. Actually, I can, my fully grown boys were with me and I was foolish enough to just grab a bunch of ammo (thinking we'd never shoot it all). I don't remember if I even got a 'Thanks Dad'. Should I bill them?

I would only pick about maybe 6 boxs at a time anyway. It's hard to hide (fromyouknowwho) if i bought any more. I was tempted a few times when there was a bunch but i wanted to leave some for the next guy.

You have the time to do this?

Someone who is buying to make a nice profit certainly would. Take friends as well to increase the overall amount bought. Its nothing but a feel good policy. It will do very little to stop a shortage. Not to mention as said before Walmart actually has to have more than 6 boxes on the shelf. I'm not expecting to be able to go to Walmart anytime soon to be able to buy anything. I'm thankful I got into reloading. I haven't bought ammo anywhere in the last year.

I'm lucky if i can find one box of 40S&W so i can't buy 6 anyway

A poster on another site was irate. He lived near an ammo distributor, and had driven his truck to the place to pick up some ammo. He bought 20 cases and complained that he wanted 100 but the "dammed hoarders" had bought it all up.

No comment needed.

funny story but seriously, i think i'm done placnig the blame on the guys buying 20 cases at a time. i personally blame President Obama. None of this would be happening if there was no threat from the left.

i see a lot of ammo for sale in rockville...
just that its a tad pricey, a 20round box of PMC would set you back 9dollars and another dealer has a 1k case of wolf at 350-400 (i think)

 

[gamer_jim]

I stop by the sporting goods desk every time I'm in walmart now and they are always out of stock of handgun ammo. If I ever see some I'm buying it all.

 

[blindnoodle]

just stash it away in random parts of the store. Come back and get it 6 at a time


i kid i kid

Time to drag your significant other, friends and neighbors to WalMart the next time you need more than 6 boxes.

 

[marko]

That's 6 boxes per caliber, right? I am so thankful I got a bunch - cause you can't find squat now. As everyone else, you don't wanna shoot alot..
And that Wally on 85, the ammo case looks like a Moskow Deli circa 1985 - empty shelves, no bread.
