When walmart took their anti gun stance it was my understanding that they were going to sell out of all guns and ammo and stop selling them all together, bundling airguns in with firearms. I believe walmart put these sales out to deplete their stock
It is sad to see small businesses get outcompeted, but this is happening to large corporate retailers as well. Times are a changing, and you have to be able to evolve for a chance at survival.For the past 20 years or so, Walmart has been deemed the "evil empire" of retail, but now Amazon has claim that throne. There will always be those, that despise those at the top.

They even sold lego-style house kits. Some of them are still standing in my neighborhood.My buddy found two 40 packs of powerlets for $12 at his local Walmart last week. I figure they must have been priced wrong; on the website they're $16. He went to three other Walmarts and didn't find any more.
I was at my most frequent Super Walmart and of course perused the sporting goods dept. Restocked with about 6 different makes of airguns, buit no airgun ammo.However, I was really bummed to find that the powder burner case was completely free of the usual rifles. Completely gone! Last week, it was nearly full, with maybe 40 rifles.I'm certain, they didn't just merely sold out because the car has now been reconfigured to hold pb ammo. The rifle racks have been removed.Besides ammo, there was only one single boxed muzzle loader laying there by it's lonesome. This is a sad day for me. I had hoped this store stood by the NH motto: "Live free, or die" ☹️

But what do the airgun cases look like?

Scott, are you serious? We went to our local Wally today, aside from a Barra lever gun the shelves were bare.

The shelves at my Walmart have been empty since COVID started back in March... Then Sunday I went and "BOOM!"Still not the pellet section there used to be but they allocated spots on the shelf for more.
ya its a the same here in FL airguns still on shelves w/no discounts either, wonder why some are phasing airguns and some arent.
Quote from: Blowpipe Sam on September 21, 2020, 12:11:47 AMBut what do the airgun cases look like? They had a Barra, a Red Ryder, a Legend, a Swarm, and a Benji Prowler. No pistols. No ammo.
We were at Walmart last week and Betty Lou asked if I wanted to go to the sporting good area. I said "Why, we already have enough coolers"....
