Talking Walmart in the gun business again...
Heard on the WSJ this morning they're going to start selling rifles,and hand guns a little later,depending on the demand.... Why I like the idea is I can get either weapon on credit....... When your on a very tight income as I am it's the only way I can afford to purchase a gun............

Our Wally-World is in Florida City, 100+ miles, so we don't get to go to often.

BUT, I could swear they have always had ammo & rifles ?? I often stop on the way off the rock to pick up range ammo.

??


I have a similar problem, in that there are few gun shops down here in the Keys,, and they think their guns are gold plated and want outrageous prices..

So I started looking online..

You might want to look at http://www.gunbroker.com/

I have purchased a couple guns there and the process is not to complicated.

Another place is the AR15 equipment exchange. You can search by state, so there is a chance you can drive to the seller and pick up the weapon without using a gun shop to do the transfer..

http://ee.ar15.com/Default.aspx

If the gun seller does not live in your state, You do need a local gun shop to handle the transfer papers. They charge between 20-50 $$. Also, most sellers charge a couple bucks to ship the gun.

Also, there are online gun shops that handle police trade-ins. They can be a real bargains..

If you take your time you can get good value by buying used from private sellers online.

Guns and Ammo
The Guns and Ammo area of the Sporting Goods Section in Fayetteville Wal-Marts has been getting smaller and smaller over the years. Very, very, very limited selection.

Gander Mountain and Dick's is starting to pull good walk-in crowds.

I have a Wal-Mart close by that sells all sorts of guns and ammo. Their online selection is even better!!!!!

Then again this is Arizona, and we have a "State Gun".
