Re: Buying ammo @ Walmart afterhours?

I did not find anything on their corporate web site explaining policy on ammo sales. Maybe it is not posted or talked about. As I have been to two different stores recently. Neither had signs about hours of sales. But, I have talked to a few friends out of state and they say the same. Some stores post hours, others do not.

Re: Buying ammo @ Walmart afterhours?

I get that, but if it is a Walmart policy, why is it not posted on the ammo case? Like I said, long story short, it was two employees AND the manager I was having this discussion with. They all three insisted it was law, even when I pulled out my phone and offered to look it up for them.

My understanding is that this is a very common thing for certain managers/employees that are anti gun. I was also told one other time (by the same Walmart) that I would need to come back on Monday for a hunting license as all the official offices were closed.

Re: Buying ammo @ Walmart afterhours?

I asked, it is not a Walmart policy either. And they have to unlock the case no matter what time of day it is.

Buying ammo @ Walmart afterhours?

I work afternoons/evenings. So I do most of my shopping early morning or close to midnight.

I walked into Walmart the other day and found 9mm on the shelf.

Way long story short, I was told that it was against the law to sell ammo after 10 pm. When I asked where it says that, I was told it was a Federal thing. When I again asked where it said that, I was told it was a State thing, again, when I asked where it said that, I was told it was a city law. When I asked where, I was told by the manager that the local police have asked them to not sell ammo so late. When I asked for names/departments, all went silent.

Long story short, I was sold the ammo.


Anybody else every had this happen?
