Another Wal Mart Fail.

[okie556]

Visiting with our son in Arkansas this week. (Live in East Texas) Happened upon a DPMS AR for $617.00 (Basic flat top, 1 mag) and a Bushmaster with removable carry handle, no front sites for $977.00. Gonna buy one or the other and gentlemen behind counter said well let's start on the paperwork and you can decide which one you want while doing. Handed him my TX DL and TX CHL......you know where this is going. He wasn't aware that I was legal to purchase to purchase and stated there was no one he could call. Said to check back tomorrow and MAYBE his manager would be around but could not hold either for me. I didn't really NEED another AR rather just thought would buy and stick in the gun safe for now. He was real nice about the whole thing and simply uneducated about gun laws so I was nice as well and told him to have a nice day. (Guess I am mellowing in my old age.)

With all that said.....if I do go back tomorrow and find gun and manager there......any reason not to buy the DPSM for $617 + taxes? It just a basic model but in today's market I think the price is fair.

Hmm, odd. It is company policy for them to have signage posted showing who can and who can't purchase from state to state. Example. A map of the US, with the allowed states in green, and the other states in red. That way its easy to point out.. Someone isn't up on their training, and XBOx as they should be. (former Walmart, sporting goods associate) Oh, and ANY, Assistant Manager, or Store Manager, could have, would have known this. Suresh, some people its no wonder why Walmart gets a bad rep so much. Lol.

I'll go back and check for signage you mentioned. Only purchased one previous firearm from Wally World and it was few years but in my home town.

Is that the more-basic-than-basic model that doesn't have the forward assist and dust cover? Sportical or whatever it's called?

Last time i saw the signage you mention at a Walmart gun counter was a few years ago, but i do remember seeing them back then.

 

[subseashooter]

For that price, nail it down. Quick. Go back now. LOL! Then flip it on gunbroker to some idiot willing to double your money. :-p

Glad you posted that! I actually did not notice but will double check if get to purchase. (Will probably be gone tomorrow.) I have no interest if no dust cover and forward assist.

 

[kyletxria1911a1]

Does that store have ammo to feed that puppy?

I've stopped buying guns years ago to put my disposable income towards ammo.

A baseball bat is a much better club than an AR-15.

That's actually why I went to Gun Counter in the first place to see how their ammo supply compared to our's at home. Same as in TX....nothing much on shelves except a few boxes of high dollar 7MM Mags and some others that I don't own a matching gun.
