Wasted effort just make them 18 yr olds do private sales or head to gun shows. Be more legal than buying beer for them. WalMart and Ducks just don’t want to be mentioned in a news report. I understand that from a business perspective. They can’t make enough money on them V’s the bad press is their thought but I really doubt there are any good $$ numbers to support anyone boycotting either folks that go to Walmart will continue to do so. Dicks doesn’t uqve the same level of product competition IMHO

I work at walmart. Yeah, it IS going to make a dent. A lot of my firearms related sales are to people between 18 and 21. Academy, if they don't get stupid, and the gun stores are going to love this shit. Their revenue stream just turned into a river.
But what do you expect from a company that can't figure out the new Texas knife law. They think it only applies to hunting knives. The worst part is, I showed them the text of the actual Bill that was signed. And highlighted the important parts. Like the part that says the store and employee are committing a criminal act by selling an age restricted knife to a minor.

Just like Dicks, this is going to piss off a LOT of people.

Your correct it will help regular FFL gun shops. I did not think there was enough of a price difference between WalMart and gun shows on AR’s. I must have 6-8 of them and not shot in many many years. Ought to trade in 4 on a really light one with a BFSIII trigger. Already have a Colt M-16 with Aheike upper I also do not shoot. I feel like a damn Fudd. Guess I sorta am.

My local Wally World doesn't sell guns, anyway.

I already hate em. I wish to hell there was another grocery store close by.

Still, too bad their management decided to be Dicks.

...criminal act by selling an age restricted knife to a minor.

Why work there? If the company is asking you to do something illegal, then either get your corporate legal team involved or go to work for a reputable employer.

Dicks was panicking because the lady he stayed with named them in a 911 call
