Kingstown wal-mart has 15 boxes of .40, after the 12 I picked up tonight. If you need it, get it now or before 8AM tomorrow, or I'm getting the rest of it.

So, uhm, you're not going to join the valiant and righteous brothers who steadfastly oppose Wal-Mart's policies and practices and eschew buying anything at Wally World, eh?
There's a word for that kind of behavior, Wangmuf. It begins with an "s" and is not very pleasant.
The least you could do is send the wife in your steador something.....
P.S.Any .45 ammo?

Yah, what is the beef against Wally World? I have no other source of range ammo closer than 10 miles away and Wally is cheaper than just about every body and less than a mile from the personal ammo locker (home).

I never shop at wal-mart.
Except for ammo. The prices can't be beat, and to the best of my knowledge (I've never checked, so I don't know if this is false), the ammo I buy there is American made.
And nope, no .45. .223, .40S&W, .22LR and shotgun ammo only.
Edit: generally, Wal-Mart sells foreign produced products and pays shit wages, not to mention their former (maybe current?) practices of shuffling around employee hours to the point where they were intelligible for benefits. Plus they shut down small business in areas where they open new stores. So some (not enough to make a damn bit of difference) people boycott them.
I personally find deplorable the fact that, when they open a store in small-town America, and shut out the small-time businesses, their employees are all but forced to spend their meager wages back into the Wal-Mart coffers.

Next time I see .45 ammo there, I'll buy you 6 boxes, and send them to you for free, signature-required. Just PM me the address to ship to, I assure complete confidentiality.
All I require is a picture of you, OCing a .45 in front of said address.

the best website to find current ammo deals is gun-deals.com
if you go to the ammo tab (on the upper left) you put in you pick a caliber and put in your zip code once. then it factors in shipping for each of the deals that other users of that website have submitted. you can sort by price and sort by overall cost per round including shipping to find the best deal.
that's the only place online i look for ammo. i check it frequently because often times good deals on ammo are gone within a few days, but then there's another company selling ammo at a similar price.

As much as I hate to agree with HankT, he is right on this one, although likely not for the right reasons.
We don't support anti-gun businesses that do not allow lawful carry, we should apply the same criteria to businesses that support anti-rights groups.
Walmart is one of those businesses. They are in bed with Bloomberg, the Brady Bunch, Micheal Moore and a bunch more anti's. Notice how they have been shutting down more and more gun counters? No more handguns. No "handgun" ammo for someone without a photo ID proving they are over 21. Videotaping every firearm purchaser.
And this gem

So if a gun is stolen from me, and I report it stolen (linked to a crime), I may not be able to buy another gun from Walmart.
This one worries me too
I have no idea what qualifies as "inconclusive"
Walmart is not the only game in town for cheap ammo. If you aren't going to support your local FFL, you might as well shop online. Even with shipping, you can get ammo online cheaper than Walmart.

Interesting to note that Wal-Mart is the "largest seller of guns"
and the biggest seller of AMMO no doubt

Part of its business model is to keep all major cost factors low enough to deliver what its customers demand at a reasonable price.
And we like Wal-Martsprices on guns, ammunition and accesories.
Especially ammunition.
Pro-gun and pro-gun rights shoppers demand low prices-always!

Buck up pay your dues if you want a job in this local

Are you saying that for your particular job/site, whatever, you will not hire someone unless they belong to a union? Wouldn't that be illegal in this state? Are you claiming in a public forum that your employer is breaking the law?
