Forest grove locks up just about everything now. Even there legos. God forbid I bring up the homeless problems plaguing Forest Grove.

I noticed that last week. It was my first time in a WM in a long time, and half the store was behind glass doors. The hammers were still wide open though, so.....

I just bought a gun recently from Walmart, in camas and they had 4 people to help.. one to keep two hands on the box, one to watch me, two to do the computer work lol

That's really going to inconvenience a lot of people who will have to find a new place to shoplift.

The WallyWorld in Hazel Dell stopped selling guns when covy hit. The ammo has trickled back in, but of course nothing you can shoot in a handgun. Except 22s. What's funny is anything that says bullets on it is locked on a shelf or in a special clear box. Even Sierra 140 gr. bullets for reloading.
Must be someone's going to throw them at someone.

Even in Camas.

We went to the Battle Ground McDee's last week and they had the combo locks on the bathroom doors. (?) I commented about that and they said it's not the homeless druggie types, it the high school teens getting in there and trashing the place. I guess "Parenting" isn't dead in ONLY the cities?

Now that I have LONG wondered why not. Those small cities of tents sure as hell were not paid for by the scum living in them. I know some idiots do donate tents thinking they are doing good but, I have long wondered how many of the damn things walk out the door of places selling them. Must be great for the people who make the damn things. Every time they clean out an encampment most of the tents are taken to a land fill and the "residents" just set up with a new one.

IMHO, WM did a D move.
Just like Dick's.
Up to them.
Though please note......you could see the decline over the past few yaers. So, it was somewhat understandable AND there was really no need to advertize the move (as Dick's did).

Yes.....it's sad.

Aloha, Mark

PS......Ask me if I care?
What Sam Waltan would have thought about it?
But, I do wonder......what his toughts would have been about the changing American norms.

I thought we were never going to see it again since I couldn't even get it on Gunbroker. I liked it because I didn't need to reload when all my guns shot it so well. Best group I ever shot was with it. 5 shots in one hole at 200 yards. I have been handloading for near 40 years and I saw no reason to do anything but buy factory 125 white box. I have not tried the new stuff but lets hope they changed nothing!
