According to my Super Wal-Mart I can order any legal shotgun from the manufacturers they deal with but they won't stock models that don't sell regularly. A home defense shotgun is not the most popular gun because most will buy a dual purpose shotgun so it will fill the roll of hunting as well. Y2K aside, hunting, trap and skeet shotguns are the most popular.

"What will happen when the socialists go after Remington 11-87's and Marlin .30-30's what will you say then? Will it still be a profitability issue? Surely you mut realize that it's just a matter of time before this happens".

O.K., what does your assumption have to do with Wal-Mart? We have to be active with our polititions to prevent that.

"I wrote a detailed letter to the President of Wal Mart, David Glass, during the second quarter of 1999 and the response was less than encouraging".

Would you care to tell us what he wrote back. Desparaging is a matter of opinion, let us formulate our own.

People need to start thinking about what they are doing before they black list some company because they don't carry their size pantyhose.
If Wal-Mart has made a formal move to not sell the persuader because they feel it is an inappropriate gun then let us see the proof. If there is some then we can all stand togethor. I'm a member of the NRA and GOA and neither have had any remarks about Wal-Mart.

So far I have seen this company stand up for guns when others (K-Mart) have whimped out. They need our complimants and kudo's rather then unsupported rants.

Let the Media make unsupported statements, they're good at it. If Wal-Mart is not selling certain shotguns for PC reasons then show me the proof. Like I said earlier, I can still order them here in Georgia so something must be wrong with your conclusion.
