Some stores never stopped. No reason they should have to either. However, given that Wal-Mart's motivation is to improve their bottom line rather than standing on and supporting the principle of the 2nd Amendment, I would recommend gun buyers take their business to less fickle dealers. Support your local "Mom & Pop" gun shop!
As the son of a well known gunsmith who managed a gun store for almost 30 years, I appreciate the sentiment....
"Watch out sister, watch out brother, Watch our children as they kill each other with a gun they bought at the Wal-Mart discount stores."
Which was of course a liberal lie in the lyrics to promote the gun banners agenda. If you believe everything Ms. Crow tells you then you are only using one square of toilet paper too.

While I agree in principle, it's hard to do when you are looking at over a $200 difference on a $1000 gun.

I try not to sell out my principles. I know these local gunshops have had it hard and are there to support the sport shooters and hunters. They are not fair weather friends. I don't sell out my friends.
most wally worlds on the east coast don't seem to sell guns, but i can't recall any in western or midwest states that i've been in that don't have at least a small selection of rifles and shotguns.

My friends don't mark-up prices over 20%. I support reasonable small businessmen, not opportunists.
Walmart has not sold handguns; at least, not in the past 20 years, if ever. Most of the long gun/ammo sales are in the suburbs and more rural stores and not in city centers.
They certainly do in Fairbanks.
