I've studied and taught how to compete with Wal Mart for small businesses for a long time and their secret has always been their supply chain. It's "sell it today, replenish tonight, sell it again tomorrow, repeat." When I saw how long my long WalMart has been out of ammo, it was evident that they suspended their supply chain somewhere about a month out. It'll also take a month or more to refill the pipeline if they start up again. More lines being drawn. Look for an exemption from ObamaCare to come sometime in the spring.
