Does Walmart Still Sell Shotguns?

Hunting

I’m curious about the current availability of shotguns at Walmart. I remember a few years back that they had a decent selection, but I’ve heard mixed things lately.

What to Expect?

  • Types of Shotguns: Are they still carrying popular brands and models like Remington or Mossberg?
  • Pricing: Has the price range changed significantly? Are there sales or discounts often?
  • User Experience: For those who have recently purchased, what’s the process like? Is the staff knowledgeable about firearms?

Other Considerations

Also, if you’re aware of changes in regulations or if stock varies widely between locations, that would be helpful info too.

Looking forward to hearing your experiences and if you believe Walmart is a reliable place for purchasing shotguns? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

I can confirm they still sell shotguns in many locations, particularly in rural areas. Check your local store’s firearm section or their website for specifics!

In my state, I’ve seen them at Walmart! They usually stock a few models, but it’s best to call ahead.

Walmart’s inventory can vary widely. Some areas seem to have more shotguns available than others. What state are you in, robert69?

I’m in Texas, so I see lots of options around me. What about other states? Anyone from the Midwest?

Walmart’s selection varies, but I was able to find shotguns at a store in Ohio last month. It’s always a good idea to check their website for availability.

I’ve noticed that shotguns are often out of stock around hunting season. Plan to check frequently during that time!

Exactly! My local store has a sign up stating they restock every Tuesday, which helps keep track.

It’s a mixed bag out there. Some stores are reducing firearm sales altogether. Has anyone encountered this?

That’s true, corystrickland. I read that some places are phasing out gun sales. What’s the reasoning behind that?

It’s probably a mix of company policy and local laws, but it’s frustrating nonetheless. If Walmart cuts back, where will we go?

I’m in California. Do they even sell shotguns here anymore?

14

I think they do, but strict regulations might limit the options. Maybe a local gun shop would have better stock?

Yeah, I’ve seen some humorous memes about how hard it is to find shotguns in certain states! It’s a real challenge.

Haha, I love those! But seriously, check online or call before heading to your local Walmart. It can’t hurt!

Thanks for all the info, everyone! I’ll definitely check with Walmart and see what’s available around me.

Yes, Walmart still sells shotguns! They have certain policies in place regarding age restrictions and background checks. You must be at least 18 to buy a shotgun.

That’s great to hear, but what about background checks? Do they conduct them for every purchase?

Walmart follows federal regulations; they conduct background checks on all firearm purchases, including shotguns. It’s a necessary step for safety!
