To be Honest I've never heard of them before? Are they a national chain?

I was thinking of Ace I see a few of them selling Shotgun shells and 22 ammo.

From A business point of View I never understood Walmart. They seem to sell out of a lot, especially popular handgun load. It doesn't make good business sense to keep a stock levels at a level where running out is a common event. I also don't understand why they don't sell defensive ammo. it seems to me the markup would be better on this stuff and there would be better profits. I really think that a lot of the disatisfaction we see in Walmart with ammo and guns is that the management doesn't really understand their product and customers.

I went a while back just to see how much fun it is...And I did not get a warm and fuzzy when I had to have my hand held all the way to the front door...

Sam Walton must be rottissering in his grave more and more these days I guess...

Yet Wally world is the only national general goods retail store that we can buy guns and ammo at anymore. I try to support them just for that fact. I am not crazy about Walmart, and will avoid going in there, however I try to buy all my range ammo there and will buy ammo whenever I am forced to do a Wally world visit. Some stores are better than others. I never seem to have a problem buying ammo during my lunch hour at Wallys in Baytown, Although they often don't have anyone available in the Galveston store.

I used to be able to buy ammo at Monkeywards, Sears, Western Auto and even the 5 & 10 I would hate to lose the only one we have left. I suppose though it is inevitable.
