I've actually gotten used to that (as BobR said I would have to, living in the intermountain West). Thirty miles is nothing anymore. It helps that (outside of the Boise metro area) the roads are relatively empty, so I don't get worked up over traffic like I always did in CA.

You are also retired, I already have to give up 40hrs per week to pay the bills. I'm getting to the point I don't like to give up anymore of my free time for mundane stuff.

Might be road flares for starting fires.

Are you saying they can't tell the difference between dynamite and road flares?            ;)

USA Today is reporting that Walmart is pulling guns and ammo from their stores nationwide due to concerns over nationwide election violence.

Honestly, I am concerned.  My change in employment has me working in Downtown Columbus, which has seen violence this past summer.  I work in the courthouse, which is probably on a short list of targets for troublemakers.  There's talk of more food shortages if distribution routes are interrupted by unrest.  Yes, I wi be armed and vigilant,  and we have plenty of food to get us through most any shortage.  But I'd really rather not deal with this crap, you know?  Not to mention this nagging anxiety that Biden is going to win, the Senate will go blue, and someone will pass a law banning possession of firearms capable of accepting a magazine that can hold more than ten rounds (basically all semi autos declared assault weapons)

Given the current buying panic and Walmart's previous move to curtail firearm sales, was there anything left to remove?

I didn’t think dynamite was commonly used anymore.  Pretty sure a gel-based explosive like Tovex is used instead these days.

I’m guessing either flares or fireworks.

I had a great set up till Feb 2018. I reported to the small office 2 miles from the house for over 13 years. They decided I didn't have enough work in my area and I was force relocated to downtown Tulsa, a 94  mile a day commute. Since I had been the night shift I was "lunch on job" so a straight 8 hour work shift. When I went to days i have a mandatory 1 hour unpaid lunch break making a 9 hour day. Add in commute time and I calculate I lost 18 hours a week of free time.

Yep.  They removed 20+ rifles/shotguns from display, plus 2 shopping carts full of ammo at the local WM.  And that's at one of their small supercenters.

What  "previous move to curtail firearm sales" are you referring to?  Far as I know, the only thing WM's done along those lines is to stop selling handgun & AR (5.56 & .223) ammo.  That wasn't done to slow down sales - it was folding to non-existent pressure to get rid of the "evil" things.

Think I need more than a full G-19 and a full spare mag? I DO have my Uplula loader and many boxes of "spare" ammo on hand. I COULD break out the S&W 10-8 and its 2 speed loaders along with the .38 ammo we have on hand... [tinfoil] :P

Apparently now reversing their decision because the SJWs told them there was no rioting anywhere, just peaceful protests.

Not that it matters much. I honestly was unaware that Walmart was still even selling guns and ammo. I haven't been there since like February.

They were probably just storing them in the back anyway.

About the only thing I bought at Walmart in the last 6 months is some 30-30 ammo.  They still had plenty of that sort of ammo.
