I will be taking a tactical training course in November and will need 600 rounds of 9mm ammo. I found myself in the West Palm Beach area yesterday and decided to buy the ammo at a new Super Wal-mart store that recently opened. When I asked where the ammo was, I was shocked to be told that they don't sell handgun ammo. I wound up buying it at my local Wal-Mart.

Anyone else know of a Wal-mart that does not sell handgun ammo?

I bought 200 rounds of 9mm & 100 rounds of .380 at a local Super Wal Mart a few months ago and they had plenty on hand then.

I'd heard rumors on ths board that Wal Mart was doing away with their rifles and possibly ammo, but I haven't heard it confirmed yet.

Was the local branch one of the ''older'' ones - I am guessing it must be. Our most recent reasonably local super store does still carry ammo but I usually use one of the old stores for my purchases - they seem to have a better stock and selection. That said - reloading is gonna keep me away from that place for ammo for quite some time anyways, the way prices have skyrocketed!

Does seem as tho there is the beginnings of a trend possible. Funny tho - I seem to recall KMart was gonna pull ammo some time ago - and yet I use one not too far away to get my fave .22 ammo for pin shooting in 22/45.

Hey Ron...Greetings!

Every Wal-Mart I've been to around here has ammo, but I still buy it at my local gunshop...it's good for 'two-way' business!

There is Wal-mart near me that doesnt have a Tire-Lube shop. The local Neighborhood Associations have a lot to do with what the local businesses sell in thier area

The Wal-Mart nearest to me does not sell guns or ammo. I never shop there anyway.

Ron

Yes, the local store that sells ammo is an older store.
I just didn't realize that policies, such as what is sold, was not established by central Wal-mart management.

Hi Ken,

I usually also buy from my local gun shop, except in this case I needed so much ammo that it was just much cheaper to buy from Wal-Mart.
