Exclamation Walmart Ammo Supplies Dwindling (Merged)

Wal-mart Ammo Stock is not being replenished from their warehouse. Is seems that corporate Wal-mart does not want to have it's warehouse stocked with new ammunition merchandise after Obama takes office. If Obama issues an executive order halting, restricting, or banning ammo sales, wal-mart and other retailers maybe left with stock they cannot sell at retail or return to their supplier.

Get it while the getting is good!!!!

I haven't noticed that at our Wal-Mart, we have 3 Super Wal-Marts and they seem to have what the usually have, sales are definitely up since people are panicking about this. I hope it doesn't come to pass.

I buy once or twice a week. What each of my local WM's have in stock on any given day is always different. But they usually have something for me and I don't walk out empty handed. I figure if there appears to be some sort of shortage of stock, it's probably just lag time from last year's inventory and panic buying. Getting caught with ammo they can't sell or return to a distributor sounds rather ridiculous to me. If anything, they should stock up as much as they can to have records of it in inventory BEFORE anything stupid happens. Maybe I'm just looking at it the wrong way?

Where did you find out about this? My local Wal-Mart always seems to be out of .40 S&W ammo, but then again so are all the other sporting goods stores in the Houston area.

Source please? I would imagine what some folks are seeing is some stores keeping as little on shelves because of the inventory that has to be done here soon.

Here in Fayetteville we have several Super Wal Marts, I usually hit up two a week. Ammo supplies here seem to ebb and flow(like normal), but I haven't noticed anything alarmingly low/missing from stock. If something is sold out one day the next time I'm there it's usually re-stocked!

Me too, plus indecision over the ailing economy, and first of the year SOP.

We'll just have to wait and see.

3 of my local Walmarts have not received 9mm HP's in at least 3 weeks. I check every few days. Don't know what is going on but I am not happy about it.

The amount of ammo on the shelve at any one time is going to vary. Many things effect it, demand for ammo, weather conditions from shipping point, time of the year. As to a Obama issued EO, he legally can't. EO pertain to the running of federal agencies, they cannot be used to create laws.

However, the Supreme Court ruled in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 US 579 (1952) that Executive Order 10340 from President Harry S. Truman placing all steel mills in the country under federal control was invalid because it attempted to make law, rather than clarify or act to further a law put forth by the Congress or the Constitution.

Wal Mart stores within 30 miles of me are out of almost all ammo, they tell me they are expecting a shipment at any time, or it's on order, yet it never arrives, "Me thinks something is afoot! Sherlock.
No ammo at wally worlds Space Coast stores.
