Our local (rural WA 40 miles away) Wal-Mart has always had firearms and ammo (good selection). I have always be led to believe thet WAl-Mart's policy is to follow the state law of the state that they are in. In which case; I would expect to walk out with the firearm the day I purchased it.
I've never purchased a firearm from Wal-mart, but I have purchased ammo. Last time they asked if the ammo was for a handgun. (.22 shorts). I said, well, yes, this is ammo that can be used in a handgun or a rifle, and I will probably use it in both. Poor checkout girl did not know what to do.
I asked her why and she just said, the screen asks the question and it would not allow her to procede unless I answered the question...Must be like their asking for ID (even when you are in your 60's) before they will sell you beer or wine.
