Today, 2Jun20, at about 8:00 AM CST, in Muscle Shoals Al, I was surprised and disappointed to discover that our local Wally World had pulled ALL its ammo and firearms. Upon inquiry at the counter, I was told the action was "due to what's going on in the nation."
I inquired at the Service Desk for a manager and ask for an actual postal address for corporate HQ. Seemed to me the old axiom, "if it's not written down, it didn't happen," seemed appropriate, and I am of the era when serious complaints were written and mailed. A young man appeared with a manager name tag. He provided the address then inquired as to the nature of my concern, and I advised him accordingly, and stated that my sporting goods money would certainly now be spent elsewhere.
He replied that due to riots, Wal Mart didn't want people blowing things up, and had pulled Tannerite and firearms/ammo. He further stated that other stores, including Academy, were doing likewise and our local Academy was following suit. I asked him to repeat that to clarify same, as I found it difficult to believe.
In my vehicle minutes later, I placed a call to the local Academy store in Florence and spoke to another manager and related my account. The woman I spoke with stated their gun counter was wide open, and that a conference call that same morning had no discussion on controls regards the sale of guns and ammo at Academy. I did not inquire about Tannerite.
