does sound strange. the Walmarts around here display their fire arms 24/7. they will let you handle them from 8am to 10pm. did you talk to the store manager?

Welcome to OCDO. Go to www.vcdl.org and at least sign up for the VA-ALERT newsletter if not joining. Be sure you have your digital recorder running with fresh batteries.

I have no idea why that Wal-Mart does not keep the rifles in the display case during the day. Just guessing, but it might be because they want eyes-on supervision and do not staff the sporting goods department all day. A trip up front to find the manager when you are there ready to spend money sounds like it might be worth the effort. "Hi. I'm here to buy a rifle you have in stock, but it's not out in the didsplay case and there is no cashier (associate?) in sporting goods that can help me. Could you get someone to help me buy it?"

stay safe.

Or go to a gun shop where the higher price is usually way worth the actual help you receive during and after the sale.
