I live in a town of 200k. We have four Walmarts. All, until recently, were well stocked with firearms and ammunition. If someone was coming to a CHL class, going hunting, plinking or even in some cases, to an Instructor Event- Walmart was often the choice for ammo locally. People would buy piles of the Remington Yellow and Winchester White Box 9mm....Nobody had better prices on generic bird shot for Shotgun classes or the opening day of dove season....If you needed " a box" of .30-30- that's not a mail order purchase and the average .30-30 shooter- isn't looking for anything Exotic, plain ole Remington 170 Core Lokts have killed more critters than any other factory load!
The standard advice of anyone coming to an Appleseed shoot for many years was to "drop by Walmart and buy 2 bulk packs of Federal Automatch or the 510 load"....etc....So, for serious and hardcore shooters, maybe Walmart was not the first choice, but for the vast majority of average folks and even those taking basic courses etc...Walmart was the ammo destination.
The truth can only offend those who live a lie.
