		<description>The Wal-Mart in Burleson, TX (south of Fort Worth) sells firearms, but there&#039;s also a really nice Academy Sports there too as well as a couple of specialty gun stores, not to mention CTD and Cabela&#039;s in Fort Worth, and also Military Gun Supply (mostly surplus, a good supply of Mausers, Mosins, etc... they have a web store too) and Winchester Gallery (new guns, expensive old American guns, and an indoor range with a variety of handgun rentals) in FW as well.  Anyway, I bought a Rem 700 in .30-06 on clearance at the Burleson W-M a year or two ago.... $325 IIRC, not a bad deal.  And they still had guns the last time I was in there, although that was probably 6 months ago (travel a lot for my job).  Most of the WMs in the North Texas region don&#039;t carry guns, but they do have some accessories and a decent selection of ammo.</description>

		<description>In the Austin area, most stores no longer sell firearms, but most still stock ammo.  One of my best purchases ever was a marked down Savage single shot 22LR youth model for $65.  I&#039;ve had more fun with that gun and my kids over the years than any other make, model, caliber, or color of firearm.  And it is a real tackdriver.</description>

		<description>JJR, if you come that far, check out Cheaper Than Dirt&#039;s store. They are only about 15 past Cabelas. Where is this WalMart that still sells guns at?</description>

		<description>The one in my old hometown pulled all but airguns, but they still sell ammo (but aren&#039;t restocking it).

The one up here where I live &amp; work now in the N. Texas region sells an assortment of long guns...mostly shotguns (pump, semiauto, and single shot) and bolt action hunting rifles, .22LR plinkers, and I do believe a few black powder weapons.  They sell all kinds of ammo including handgun ammo but no handguns.  The only thing I don&#039;t like is the sporting goods counter where they are located is seldom manned, and it can be a real pain in the *ss to flag an associate down willing/able to do an ammo sale.
There&#039;s a giant sporting goods store across the street that&#039;s a little better, customer service-wise, and *almost* worth their mark-up.

The nearest place you can get handguns from a box store is the next town over, about 20 miles away or so.  We do have one private FFL in town who has a storefront but no showroom and deals strictly 1 customer at a time by appointment only and is hard to get a hold of.  He&#039;s where I got my Springfield XD compact, for which I&#039;m very grateful, but it&#039;s such a phone tag game to ever reach the guy I&#039;d sooner drive all the way to the nearest Cabela&#039;s in Fort Worth for any future purchases, most likely.  I&#039;m planning on hitting the Fort Worth gun show at the end of the month, then swinging by that Cabelas on the way out of town afterwards.

Wallyworld is ok but I wish we had an Academy Sports in town (that&#039;s the nearest box store the next town over I was talking about).  I was going to get my AR from them but they were chronically sold out whenever I was interested, so I finally picked up my Bushmaster AR over at Cabelas.</description>

		<description>I bought a nice Howa .22-250 a few years ago at Wal-Mart.
If they have a gun counter ask to see their special order catalog!</description>

		<description>I just bought a 10/22 from the local walmart.  Since they put the firearms in the back of the store farthest from the doors the perp walk was quite a trip.  

If it&#039;s a local demographic thing, then we have a decent group of shooters in town.   The local walmart carries most of the &quot;bread and butter&quot; guns: Rem 870&#039;s, Ruger and Marlin 22&#039;s and a few blackpowder guns among others. They also carry LOTS of shooting accessories: All sorts of brand name cleaning products, Boresnakes in assorted calibers, Nikon and BSA scopes, bipods, etc.</description>

		<description>Seems to be something controlled by the regional guys.  We have several Wal Marts in the metro and some have gun counters and some don&#039;t.  Seems to be controlled by the demographic they are looking for.</description>

		<description>The one near my house (suburban area) used to sell firearms but stopped when Wal-Mart recently pulled guns from a large number of stores. I wasn&#039;t surprised by that, but I was surprised to see that a store near my in-laws, in a much more rural area loaded with hunters, also pulled them at the same time. That one still sells ammo, though.</description>

		<description>I was honestly surprised that the one down the road from me has a shotgun, black powder, and bolt-action collection that rivaled most gun stores I have been in.  Of course, this is after a year of living in San Diego, where no &lt;em&gt;Super&lt;/em&gt;Walmarts are allowed, and you can bet your bottom dollar you cannot even get ammunition there.</description>
