...they are replacing them with shotguns and other hunting weapons...because 'there wasn't a whole lot of demand'.

Walmart is not an obvious place to go shopping for a hunting rifle.

I forget they even sell guns in some US stores.... They don't here, and I have never seen a gun case in a California store either, so I don't think they do there.

They might in WA, can't remember.

Meantime keep an eye out for some great close out specials.


"Wal-Mart will be selling the discontinued rifles at steeply discounted rates as it phases them out."

They started selling guns in my local Fred Meyer about 2-3 years ago.

Actually, now I'm trying to remember if our local Wally Worlds actually sell guns. I know they sell bullets, but I don't remember seeing anything other than airsoft and paintball equipment on sale. Maybe they keep them in that mythical storage area 'out back'.

Well, yes. I mean, the guy is actually facing the door for one thing, instead of wandering in small, confused circles.

After almost 20 years it still blows my mind that you can walk into a North American store and buy a gun.
