Wal-Mart to Pay $14.5 Million for California Gun Law Violations
June 5, 2004
Wal-Mart will pay more than $14 million to settle charges that it committed thousands of violations of California state gun safety laws between 2000 and 2003, including selling ammunition to minors and selling firearms to convicted felons.

California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said that under the settlement, Wal-Mart will pay $5 million in fines, submit to court-enforced compliance with all gun laws, and provide more than $4 million to fund state compliance checks, prevent the sale of ammunition to minors and educate the public on gun laws.


I bet this had lots to do with them removing guns for sale at all those other stores the rest of us shop at.....another California move that gets in everyone elses way.
