I have not spent 10 cents in Dicks in recent years. I now add Walmart to my same list.

John Lovell discusses the "Cali Key" that converts an AD to bolt -action: https://kalikey.com/

I bought ammo there maybe once in Florida. I do own 110 shares of Walmart stock that I plan to sell. I have to sell a few stocks for another project I have in the works down in Florida. Walmart's new policy just made my decision much easier.

Ditto. Eff 'em.

I actually frequent Walmart a lot, as they're close by. I do a lot of my grocery shopping there too. But, I'm a big believer in "principal", and they now acquiescing to the gun grabbers, my shopping in their store will drop to zero. Talk about a MAJOR slap in the face to their core shoppers.

Walmart just gave gun owners a big slap in the face. It concerns me that they were so quick to cave to media pressure. I am curious if there was any NRA involvement. Time to take my business elsewhere.

lol. And this is why the server is out of state, registrations are overseas and holding in Florida.

The CEO posted the whole story on his Facebook page. Most comments are pro 2A and anti Walmart! Don't forget Sam's Club! I just renewed my membership there unfortunately but BJ's here I come! Like others here, I have not walked into a Dick's store for years. Walmart and Sam's is just the same in my book now! Here's a link to his Facebook page. Let him know how you feel there as well! https://www.facebook.com/dougmcmillon/posts/2669333629960730?__tn__=K-R

Boycotts are good, but they are most impactful if you (simultaneously) politely but firmly voice your displeasure to the company and LET THEM KNOW you'll no longer be their shopper. I just sent them a doozy of an email, and am about to call their customer service line as well. Here's the link with contact info: https://corporate.walmart.com/contact-us BTW, I'm no expert, but I don't even see the logic of this... it seems that they're trying to separate and conquer --- punish the defensive shooters, while protecting their traditional "hunters". How's that supposed to work? Not only do some "hunters" use .223 for "varmint" hunting (right?)... but others will own traditional rifles in common hunting calibers, but they'll also own a handgun for home defense. I know a LOT of hunters who have traditional rifles + handguns. I can't help but think they're poking a bear on this one!

Will they take a stand and pass a law to make it illegal for teenagers to bring guns to school sporting events? Maybe they should ban all revolvers. I wonder if this young man has had any involvement with the police or school, drug, or mental health issues, or if this will be put on his permanent record.

I can't say that I frequent WalMart very often... but those few times a year just dropped to ZERO... for life! I will most certainly be communicating my displeasure to WalMart's headquarters as well. In addition, I do feel like my entry into reloading will turn out to be a fortuitously well-timed one. It's time to get that new interest cranking along in earnest! The utter stupidity of these people... as though inconveniencing and turning off the overwhelming majority of decent, law-abiding legal gun owners is going to have any discernable impact at all on crime. Ridiculous!

Incidents like this are the very reason why we NEED firearms!

FANTASTIC!!!! EDIT>>>>> Can I assume Troy will have magazines?

I’ll be there, but on the late side, likely between 7 and 8. Look for the “FUBAR” T-shirt.

My thoughts exactly. I'll just give my money to someone else.

Hopefully that will be such a backlash for Walmart in doing this. Fudds be damned. That idiot 20-year-old "2nd Amendment Supporter" that showed up in camo to test his gun rights at a particularly bad time didn't help any. Stupid is as stupid does. However, it is really the media pressure that is affecting Walmart. Supporters of freedom and the Constitution SHOULD contact Walmart customer service and let them know (politely) how they feel. I wouldn't buy ANY firearms, hunting rifles, or otherwise from Walmart if this goes into effect. "America's Store" with many rural, freedom-loving American customers should be coming out STRONG against the face of Statism and tyranny.

When the government gives you lemons....

And they bent at the knee https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/03/walmart-plans-to-dramatically-step-back-from-gun-sales-after-horrific-shootings.html Highlights: They are bending at the knee for people that absolutely despises all about WM; their costumers, their business model, their business practices. WM is, essentially, asking asked to be eaten last. Businesses prime directive is no longer to provide goods and services at a fair price that costumers want and need while increasing corporate value and shareholder equity. Rather is to be a motor effecting societal change. Proceed accordingly.

First shot was the doozie - definitely caught him in the head... perp went down but was still moving... good follow ups

In reality, do you really think they will go after someone who makes a false claim in THIS state? People lie all the time to fit their agenda.

This 100%. In recent years, I have endeavored to be open with family and friends regarding my firearms ownership and support for the 2nd Amendment. This as a way to promote the shooting sports and 2A to people who have been conditioned to view firearms ownership only in a negative light.( I.e. a tremendous amount of ignorance abounds, even within my extended family.) However, given these new RFLs, coupled with those already in place, I will likely be much more selective in what I communicate and to whom. The phrase “loose lips sink ships” certainly applies here. Moreover, I cannot think of anything more egregious than the thought of police suddenly showing up at my door to confiscate my firearms based on some unknown person alleging unknown accusations regarding my character or mental state. I have zero confidence a judge in NJ would not order seizure on scant evidence. I.e. seize first, figure it out later. Many of us have spouses and family members whose impressions of 2A are negatively influenced by the MSM and the left’s narrative, despite our attempts to inform them in a balanced way. With that in mind, these laws also serve to sow the seeds of mistrust between husband/wife, parent/child, in-laws,etc.

The latest Democrat Party Magazine cover:

Abso-flipping-lutely! Ridding the House and Senate of these people is really more important than the Presidential or Gubernatorial race. If those seats are republican Then the right person to the administration, state or federal, will either get everything he or she wants or nothing they want. We're losing ground on guns, immigration and illegals, taxes, border security and more because there are too many Dems in the house. They need to be outed, period.

This next election is key. If the democRATS win - we lose. Semi auto ban is on their agenda. BTW - we won't win on gun rights We need to tie illegals criminals and the taxorat failure in NJ to phildos RICO gang. And VOTE!!!!

I am in for tonight! I should get there around 8. I have been on a Ruger buying kick over the past year or so.... I will bring my Security 6, 1974 Super Bearcat, 10-22 in M1 carbine dressage and my Ruger American Ranch in 7.62x39mm. If my 17-year-old son joins me, we'll bring his soon-to-be his lefty Mossberg 590A1. I will be in a maroon CNJFO tee and a grey hat. I look forward to putting faces to screen names. EDIT>>>>>>> David is my real name.

Motor oil for my rifle KY for my gun

this is gonna be bad. really bad.

It also depends upon what you are selling and the asking price. A dealer would be reluctant to take in a consignment on an AR (for example) that you want $900.00 for because you over-paid, but can only get $500.00 on the market - said dealer would sit on the gun forever. Three rules: Condition Price Marketability Good Luck!

I’ll be there. But I’ll forget your cooler
