Do you by any chance work in advertising?

You gotta pick your battles. I'd just be happy that your Wallyworld still sells firearms. The one in Murray quit selling "sporting" rifles and shotguns several years ago and quit selling black powder guns just this last spring. They don't seem to even sell black powder supplies anymore... which means I'm stuck with mail order or the overpriced Elmer Fudd-o-rama hunting and fishing emporium in town for my Powerbelts and 209 primers.

As far as not calling in your 4473, well, it is Wal Mart. I'm sure their policy is to call them all in just to avoid any "imperial entanglements"... heh. These aren't the law abiding citizens you're looking for.

Every Walmart that I've been to was well aware of the law and are only following corporate policy. It gets worse. If you happen to be a person that gets a "delay" on a NICS, you will not get your gun from Walmart until you get an "approved" from NICS. If the three day limit expires without a return call from NICS, no gun for you. Normally, if the three days expire the gun store is allowed to go ahead with the sale and Walmart is "allowed" to do so, too, but chooses not to.

When you're the biggest target on any ambulance chaser's radar, it pays to take steps beyond what is required.

They have always done that as far as I know. I worked at Walmart in high school in the 1991. I bought a 10-22 there with my employee discount, and they escorted me to the front door just like everyone else.

Writing 101: the most important part of any written work is the title.

The title obviously done the job flb intended based on the number of comments this thread has received.

they are only fooling themselves with this "safety" policy.
