Outside of DC, things are very different.
A general store in rural Arkansas would be expected to have guns, ammo, clothing, and yeah, motor oil.
In Morrisville, VT, there is a gun store, liquor store and subway sandwich shop in the same building. Everything you need in one stop...
Don't go much into Walmart do you?
It’s clear that you don’t know much about guns, or gun stores, so, perhaps it would be best if you stopped idle, inflammatory, speculation and fear-mongering.
Walmart policy is a manager walks the boxed firearm out of the front door before it is handed to the purchaser. This occurs AFTER the background check and checkout.

Bought a little .410 at Walmart … after waiting for them to finish phone calls … they would only hand it over on the way out … two employees escorted me to the door …
(did not buy shells that trip) …
Yes, at that point I could have went to my vehicle, then come back … but at that point, what’s the difference between me or John Doe …
Specifically the Colonial Heights store pulled all the guns a month ago and recently pulled ALL of the ammo also. They still have inventory but refuse to sell any guns...claim is due to a directive from corporate.
I am 100% pro 2nd Amendment....but selling guns near Petersburg is a little nuts.
yes, and it is not at all uncommon for them to have a backstop dirt pile and target shooting after the monthly fellowship BBQ lunch. If you can't put 10 in the black at 100 yards then you are a bit suspect.
They are great folks down there, they will give you the shirt off their back. You try and take that shirt and you ain't gonna like the result.

That’s ridiculous our state sure isn’t what it used to be and is only getting worse.
A business deciding if they want to sell guns and ammo isn't a "state's decision".

I don’t think it’s the company because some locations have them and some don’t
He isn't referring to the state government, he is alluding to the fact that Virginia used to lean right on traditional values type stuff....but with the population explosion in the more liberal Northern Va area, the state has a much different feel to it

Correct.
Ha, Petersburg WM is still selling guns and ammo.
My walmart that's 100' away is actually pretty good. The one that's 15 minutes away is like I just walked into the south side of chicago at 2AM.
Haven't stopped. They completely stopped handgun sales in the 90s except in Alaska. They completely stopped most handgun ammo (pus .223) sales in 2019 and stopped handgun sales in Alaska. What they still sell are hunting rifles and shotguns.
They're citing the possibility of looting and civil unrest. Stuff is still available for sale, but not displayed on the main floor.
Walmart is citing the possibility of looting. I'd hope that the firearms themselves would be locked down.
If it's like in my area, the Walmarts that are located in more "rural" areas still sell guns (rifles and shotguns only, not handguns), but the ones in the populated cities do not, they do however still sell ammo in those Walmarts. So it could still be a corporation decision based on store location - I doubt it's any kind of state, county or city mandate.
So like, in the movies? Where aliens time travel to earth to change the course of history? You know. Fiction.

That is probably right the Walmart I rarely go to in the middle of the city doesn’t have guns or ammo I believe anymore. The one that’s closest to me is near the interstate but 2 very rural towns border it they still have guns and ammo also scopes and cases and archery stuff that the other doesn’t carry
