Source? And if true, oh well. Lousy selection and lousy prices.

Freddys in my area is where the people of walmart go when they want to dress up and shop upscale

I'm seeing a lot of hits on the news they will stop selling long guns to people under 21, but not a complete end to their firearms offerings. Source for this?

Same. I asked as well for the source because I can't find squat. Maybe the OP has inside info?

Well, there it is. I'm not surprised. I went in ONE time to browse. My FM had CCI Maxi-Mag .22WMR in stock. I hadn't seen any for a while (during the rimfire shortage) and was excited to buy some. The clerk handed me a box, and when I saw $27.99 on the box I handed it back and said "no wonder you guys have it in stock and nobody else does".

I don't think all FM's carry firearms. I know Imbrie drive does. I don't think the one on TV highway does though.

Man ain't that the truth! Just an easy way out for them in a most likely 'loosing' department - more like a glass cabinet is all.

The whole store?

Not a sad day for me, I stopped shopping at Kroger's (Fred Meyers, QFC,) a long time ago.
And for a variety of reasons.

 

[ma96782]

The whole store?

Yes.....there is a metal fence up, all around the property.

Aloha, Mark

Huh. FM is remodeling many of their stores this year. Maybe it's one of them.

It is a sad day for anyone that has lived in the area long enough to watch whats left of the real Fred Meyers being destroyed by the free thinking left. Fred G Meyer was an innovative cornerstone of the community, he sold guns and ammo. Fred Meyers is a corporation marching to the beat of the rainbow flag. I hate seeing a good mans name being insulted........

*teary eyes*
Bought my first firearm at Fred's. Springfield XD 45.
Then I realized I overpaid by about $200 after I got more into the hobby.
Then once asked to see a pistol and was handed it with the muzzle pointed at my tender bits without being safety checked.

I appreciate they had them, doubt they sold a lot, but in the end there was no reason to to buy one there.
