After purchasing a rifle at the local Wal*Mart, a manager is contacted to walk the customer and the rifle out of the store. The rifle is still boxed. Along the way the manager keeps in contact with someone at the other end of her radio, letting them know where she and the customer are located, leaving the sporting goods area, going past the automotive section, now outside, etc., etc., etc. Once the rifle is deposited inside the customer's vehicle the manager lets the radio know that her job is finished. I wonder if she might see the irony, what she might have said or done, had she known that the customer and spouse were cc'ing? So, what is the purpose of Wal*Mart's policy?

That's standard Walmart policy. They jut carry it outside the main entrance around here and give it to the customer.

Same here in town. I thought about writing a letter to the store manager. I'm sure the reason is for "safety of the other customers." However, if I was going to go postal, wouldn't it be a lot easier to snatch my already-loaded .45 off my hip and start blasting Vs. breaking loose all the tape on the box, opening the cardboard box, loading the rifle, and then start shooting?

I would hope the buyer whould have enough intelligence to do their shopping FIRST and then go buy the gun. If they are stoopid enough to leave a gun in the car after everyone watches them put it in there, then turn around and go back in, they are probably not intelligent enough to be handling a gun anyway. .

Count yourselves lucky if your local wal mart still sells firearms period. Thoise that still do are getting fewer and fewer. And I was always in a hurry to go shoot whatever firearm I had just bought.
