Default odd question about wallyworld and ammo?

OK, I know this might be a odd question BUT,
I live about equal distance from two different Wal-Mart's; One being Long Beach and the other Lakewood.
I've read that they have ammo at one or both and talk to folks that say wal-mart has it.
My problems I've never been able to find at either, I've walk the aisles a bunch of times, asked sales staff, even ask a store assistant managers at both stores!
All I got was a dumb stare and I don't know from one and all.

* the 64 dollar question is: which store has any ammo and where in the he!! is the ammo located in the store........if they really carry it???

Have fun folks!

Long Beach and Lakewood are FAR Left Cities. I doubt they allow ammo sales.
The Wallies that have ammo sell it in the sporting goods dept.
Try other cities.

It's usually at their sporting goods section.

Cerritos Wally carries ammo if you are close enough.

Not all Wal-marts carry ammo. Sometimes it is a restriction from the city or county. When they do it is in the Sporting Goods department.

If it's like the Walmarts up here in my area, it will be in a cabinet behind the register. But, if they do sell ammo, it will be in the Sporting Goods section. Happy hunting!

Long Beach and Lakewood do not carry ammunition. With Walmart, it's hit or miss (no pun intended), and as someone referenced based on city ordinance. Locally, Huntington Beach does carry, and up the 605, I believe Norwalk.
Before I started reloading, I knew every one in a 20 mile radius that sold, but that was long ago.

The one in Lakewood (Carson & Paramount Blvd)has ammo for sure, been there many times. Sporting good section, up again the far right (West) wall when you walk in.

Just need to locate the key master, which took me 30 min last time because apparently no one knows who is supposed to work the sporting good section...

the closer to a metro area the less likely Walmart sells ammo, the further away or out in suburbs the more likely they sell ammo.

As a general rule of thumb when looking for ammo in any big box store use fishing poles sticking up off the top of an isle as a landmark and look by said fishing poles.

The ammo guy at the Encinitas WalMart said they are going to stop selling ammo because of Prop 63, they don't want the hassle.

I talked to a few managers at the Walmarts near me and they said theyre selling ammo next year. But not sure about the following year. I'm stopping by Encinitas during lunch break since I'm in the area. Hope they have something good.

Walmart isnt a great deal anymore, most isnt priced cheaply like it once was. Plus, for the most part it is ***** ammo that they carry. Greater deals are found online shipped to your door all day, everyday.

Westminster Wal-Mart has ammo. Matter of fact, I think every Wal-Mart in Orange County, except maybe Santa Ana store, has ammo.

I use to be a fan of going to Walmart for Ammo. Over the past year or so I've almost completely stopped going there. Between the not so great prices and trying to find someone with the magical key to open the ammo case, it's not worth it.

I frequent sgammo now.

Yeah. Every time I look at the ammo at Wally World I remember the price I can get it for at sgammo and keep walking.

Wally World is an odd place so most questions about it are odd. The Poway & Escondido (San Diego County) Wally Worlds carry ammo. All the ammo is in locked case behind the counter in the Sporting Goods section. Only certain employees are allowed to access it.

not having any is not the same as not selling it. the store on Technology keeps it for employees while the store on Von Karmann sticks to a one box limit. got some mini-mags there in June.

I only look in Wal-Mart for Perfecta 38 special 158 grain (about $15.50 a box of 50), Federal aluminum 9mm and 45 acp (about $10 and $16 a box of 50) and matbe WWB hollow point 147 grain 9mm (about $22 a box of 50). That is it; otherwise the prices are not competitive anymore.

Torrance Walmart sells ammo. Hawthorne between Carson and Sepulveda, not 190 and Normandy.

I live around the corner from one and shop there for other stuff (like groceries). I used to chase ammo at the couple of Walmarts, Big5s, and Turners around me. I stopped that when I discovered Gunbot and Ammoseek.

Now it's almost all Freedom Munitions and SGAmmo. I did buy a few boxes of Federal 115gr 9mm for under $25/box of 100 (plus tax) at the local WM, a week ago. I figured that wasn't a total rip for factory new ammo in a cash deal.

I think I'll stick with turners and Ammo Brothers............by what everyone says their just as good and they generally have what I want.
On top of that, their not a bunch of "doofuss" like people at Wally world.

Cerritos has a good amount in stock every time I stop and look...I never buy there anymore since I reload and it's expensive there. I was looking for some .223 since I don't reload that, but those are always out.
