Hixson Wally World is about out...

[mousegunner]

As of Dec 27, the Hixson WW is about out of ammo. Lots of empty shelf space. One fellow told me he had searched all over Chattanooga, and couldn't find any .45 acp anywhere.

I got the last 2 boxes of 9mm Blazer Brass for $8.97 each at the Hixson WalMart.

[bvarnell]

The Ooltewah store was out of .45 acp & 9 mm this morning. Only a couple of boxes of Reminton green box jhp for about $30.

Guess I may need to check Gunbarrel & Brainerd later.

I guess that there were a lot of gift cards used for ammo since Christmas. Wise choice in my view. Maybe they'll get restocked pretty quick.

A lot of people complained about panic buying for this very reason, but all it's really done is give a little job security to ammo manufacturers. "O" did say he was going to get the economy going, and he's worked miracles in the gun market so far, and the guy ain't even taken office:D

Just be mindful of the price gouging douche bags out there. They seem to have calmed down a small bit, but they are still out there.

Never fear WalMart though, they have a buying power NO other entity on the planet has. They will always find a way to restock what sells the best.

I was just in Florence, AL. Their ammo shelves were very bare also.

WW has run out of 9mm in Athens, and very short on most everything else.

[Guest eyebedam]

Come on people. Christmas was 2 days ago. They sold a ton of ammo. Guns were a hotter item this year than ever before. They haven't had a stock truck yet since the holiday. I was at Bass Pro yesterday & they normally have a ton of pistols & guess what they only had about 15 or 20 total. Give them time to replenish there inventory before acting like a bunch of old hags tryng to start another ammo frenzy.

I was at Wally World about an hour ago, and I bought up all the 9mm and .45 they had. They said they won't be getting anymore ever again, and neither will any of the other stores.

On a side note, I've got several 100rd boxes WWB 9mm for sale @ $100 per. Blazer brass can be had @ $40 per 50rd box. PM me if you want to make an offer, but act fast, it will ALL be gone in the next few hours.

Did you go to the walmart on charlotte pike? I noticed they quit selling guns a while back, and thier ammo selection sucked.

I can't see rural area walmarts quitting the sale of ammo though

My last trip to Dicks, pre-xmas, was funny to see a Barby Doll come along and read off her list......."I need 4 boxes of....9...milli..meter, and 4 boxes of 45 otto!!!"

I have no idea if it's true or not, but I was told that only 1 Wal-Mart per county is allowed to sell guns. Again, only what I was told.

None in Knox Co sell guns, or even will order them.

I guess I was misinformed. I did a google search and came up with a few atricles regarding Wal-Mart and guns. According to reports, Wal-Mart decided to stop selling guns in 1,000+ stores, nation wide. They were targeting (no pun intended) the stores with sluggish gun sales.

There were some lawsuits or other, too, haven't ever really researched.

Talk about possible disinformation: sporting goods guy at one Wally's here said there's some corporate rule about being too close to a university. That Wally's is about 10 miles from UT.

Obviously, lately, sluggish gun sales certainly doesn't hold water, eh?

That's true, but Wal-Mart doesn't sell the type of guns everyone's all freaked about. If everyone was in a panic to buy 12 gauges and .22's, Wally World would be good to go.

Also true, but on the third hand (you do have one, right?) shotties have been a hot item last few months, and Wally's does sell quite a few suitable for home defense (where they still sell guns).

Was reading somewhere that only in Alaska, WalMart also sells handguns.

I stopped at the one in Ooltewah for some 9mm and all they had was WWB for 10.97 per 50

Is that suppose to be their new price?

Looks like I'll be shooting Blazer Brass in the near future!

My local Wally World usually has the 100rd value packs, seems like they've been climbing in price pretty steadily over the past few months.

[Magiccarpetrides]

The Knoxville Wally Worlds are selling the wwb 100rd 9mm boxes for $19.97 I bought two and grimaced....but the M11/9 is hungry and has to be fed a steady diet of Brass only ammo

19.97 has been the price for a good while on those.

Blazer Brass went up from 8.57 to 8.97 per 50 box about a month ago, so still cheaper than the WWB last time I bought any.

Hixson Walmart, Jan 3, 2009 -- "When he got there, the cupboard was bare." Nothing left but a little bit of 30/30 and .223. No handgun ammo at all. Ammo has been back ordered for two months, but isn't coming in. The shelves are literally bare. Sad case!

[analog_kidd]

Went to the Oak Ridge Wallmart yesterday and the shelves looked pretty bare. They had no Blazer 9mm, but had one or two boxes of WWB 100 pack. They were also out of all .22 shells. Clerk said they got a case of .22 in the day before and it all sold in one day. He also said it would be a few weeks before they got any new stuff.

I'm hoping that lots of people just got some new toys for Christmas and had to feed them. If so, I'm sure the shelves will fill back up once the newness wears off.

[Guest goomba]

the gunbarrel rd WW was pretty bare also.

That's because somebody bought their last 2 boxes of WWB 45 x 100 and 9mm last Mon.

[Guest Boomhower]

I bet WW is loving all of this fear!!!
