Walmart says it will discontinue the sale of
handgun and short-barrel rifle ammunition and also publicly request that
customers refrain from openly carrying firearms in stores even where
state laws allow it.
The announcement comes
just days after a mass shooting claimed seven lives in Odessa, Texas and
follows two other back-to-back shootings last month, one of them at a
Walmart store.
The Bentonville,
Arkansas-based discounter said Tuesday it will stop selling handgun
ammunition as well as short-barrel rifle ammunition, such as the .223
caliber and 5.56 caliber used in military style weapons, after it runs
out of its current inventory.
