I realize that in the context of today's pricing, it is a good price, but it is still overpriced by a factor of 2.5.
And remember the really good old days? Back in elementary school, I can remember buying .22 long rifle at the local store. I think it was $0.99 for a 50 round box. Nobody cared, the kids bought .22 without anybody much raising an eyebrow.
Exactly. I remember walking down a main street in my old town when I was 12 years old, carrying a .22 rifle, and nobody noticed or cared.

I'm fine with whatever policy they have, whatever it takes to keep them from taking any further steps...... :nono:
Last week they had 1,000 round boxes of M22 for $50.

Re: Strange new Walmart ammo policy attributed to Open Carry

I saw a post on Facebook this morning.....
The FaceBook Member wrote:I went into walmart to buy some ammo, the cashier asks for my i.d., I hand it to him and ask what's the age limit for rifle ammo.
He says "we're not looking for age."
Me: "huh? So why do you need my i.d.?"
Him: "well anyone buying ammo has to show an i.d." and pointed to the camera above the cash register. "They started this a few months ago."
Me: "nevermind I don't need any ammo."
What's up with that???
Anyone here work at Walmart? Care to enlighten me?
His profile contains no mention of which state he resides in...... unless it's the state of paranoia...... which may or may not be well-founded.......

It's cheaper and less hassle.
Yep. And I just bought a bunch more .308 this morning that way, from FreedomMunitions.com.
