Walmart to End Handgun Ammo Sales

GW: Since Walmart’s decision to stop selling certain ammo will have no bearing on demand, this is good news for those outlets that will continue selling the same ammo, because they’ll get the business.

Following recent mass shootings, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon has announced the retail giant will stop the sale of handguns in Alaska, and stop selling handgun ammunition “once it sells out its current inventory.” Walmart is also asking customers not to carry firearms in stores in states with open carry laws unless they are authorized law enforcement officers. Walmart says it represents two percent of U.S. gun sales and around 20 percent of all ammunition sales. The sales numbers are expected to drop to about 6-9 percent when the change is enacted.
