Walmarts differ from location to location. I say this because I know, after the event I noted above, I went into a Walmart here in CO and was able to by trap rounds (12 ga. 2-3/4 #7.5 shot) by the case. So, even from CO to KS (next door neighbors) their store rules are different.
I just marveled at how the dude I talked to copped such a serious attitude, like he was astonished I would ask such an idiotic and offensive question...they'd "NEVER" sold it, not ever even one single time in recorded human history...not EVAR! And, like I noted, we had bought boxes and boxes of 12 ga. shells the previous pheasant season at the same Walmart (ironically, in addition to the reciepts, I also had some of the actual shells in my hunting vest because I hadn't been pheasant hunting since that previous year, late in the year).
The husband of one of my wife's friends works the night shift at a different Walmart as a stocking manager. So, I kind of have an idea how Walmart shelf stock works. I told the guy in the KS Walmart that I'd bet him $100 bucks and a steak dinner that we could go in the back and we'd find shotgun shells in warehouse. He refused, but if he was so sure it would have meant a free Benjamin and a steak dinner, for him because I was serious. The wife's friend's husband stock manager had told me "cut-out" stock often remains in the warehouse for years before they get rid of it because there's not really any logistical way to do it...short of throwing it in a dumpster...which doesn't work for the bean counters at all.
