So the moral of my rant is pick and chose what you buy at Walmart but sometimes it's better to pay the extra 20 or 30 bucks to keep the local gun shops in business. Just my 2 cents.
This is very true and should be a concern for all of us. Yes, it's possible to walk away with $60 or $80 more in your pocket, but when Walmart deceids to stop selling guns and ammo in your location, where is the customer loyalty you might require to save a 40 or 50 mile drive? At $3 a gallon, that $80 woun't get you too far. Let's also not forget the convenience provided by the Mom n Pop shops that have so far, survived.
