I was talking with the manager of our local TSC the other day and asked her when they were going to start selling guns and, or at least, ammo. She said some TSC's in the southern US did sell ammo, but it 'll never happen in NY although she's all for it.
I seldom use Walmart. I used to use it a lot more, but our local place in Ogdensburg NY shrunk their fishing/hunting/tools/automotive and increased the electronics and food. I suppose they do what makes the most $$$. Not my favorite place at all, and Lowes is going downhill too I've noticed. We just got a Harbor Freight, which is handy, but still Commie made stuff for the most part. Of course, so are most of the tools at Ace, Lowes, NAPA, etc.
We made this mess, not on purpose, but we did it.
