Guns in IL Walmart

[muncie21]

I stopped by a Walmart in IL on my way to STL hoping to score some ammo. I was amazed that in the land of gun control and FOIDs that the store carried more rifles (by far) than any I've seen in IN yet.

Some items of interest:
Marlin 336
Ruger 10/22- $207
Marlin 22 stainless w/scope- $207
Henry 22- $267

They had another whole rack of shotguns..oh no ammo either

One of the walmarts in Columbus Indiana carries all of those same guns, at least they did when I was there last week picking up a marlin 17hmr. I know the had the model 60 stainless, 10/22, mossy and remington 870 shotguns, the henry .22 lever as well as a rack of black powder rifles. I know they had more but thats what I remeber seeing. the prices were the same.

I know if was a pain getting through the process there....must have had 5 people check and recheck things over. But the prices were good and the guy told me just to come in and he could special order most anything.

which walmart is it in columbus?

The one at 735 Whitfield Drive, further into Columbus. The easiest way to get there in to take 31 into columbus. The Walmart will be down on your right hand side by a Golden Coral.

It is the east columbus walmart. Plus they can order you guns.

I thought the FOID was required only for handguns? Regardless...I won't travel to or through that state ever again if I can help it.

And a big ol double-fisted bird for the east side Wal-Mart. I haven't been back to a Wal-Mart since last April.

I wonder if they carry guns/ammo at the new Latino-oriented Wal-Marts?

The FOID is required for any firearm or ammunition. Must present it when purchasing or to any LEO that wants to see it.

Muncie North Wall-Mart has a good selection they can order for you from a catalog. The guy said he could not order anything that looked like an assault weapon.

columbus walmart off of 31 does have a pretty good selection for being a walmart bought a few there before.ive been to the walmart in morris illinois before they have them there also.had quite a few more there than our columbus walmart

You dont have to have a FOID card to buy ammo or firearms in Ill, thats for Ill residents only, I just show my Indiana DL to make purchases at walmart in Danville, Ill

The Walmart in Lawrenceburg probably carries 30 different rifles and shotguns at a time.

If you buy a shotgun or rifle in Illinois.....you don't take it home today...24 hr waiting period...and if it's a handgun....72 hr waiting period

I thought the waiting period was only for IL residents? And I KNOW you can't buy and walk out with a handgun from an IL FFL, you'd need to have it sent to an IN FFL.

Wow - I thought the Illinois Walmarts quit carrying firearms - knew their prices for ammo were generally good but I still like supporting my local gun shop better.
