I'd heard that before somewhere, doesn't surprise me. City leaders know that if they start bringing in large tax amounts, there'll be more eyes on where it's going.

I'd also heard about a year or so ago they were looking at a spot at the Intersection of I-40 and Hwy 75 in Henryetta, but that City wouldn't work with them either. Having grown up there, that also doesn't surprise me!

I think Walmart is slowly but surely changing their Sporting Goods Dept. A few months ago, or heck, maybe last year, I read an article that said they were going to start carrying a wider selection of Sporting Goods. A few Walmarts are going to start selling guns again. I noticed that there is a lot less of the Remington branded merchandise on the shelves this year. Not sure if that's good or bad, but they're carrying Fieldline packs this year instead of the Remington branded ones. I don't expect them to completely make the changes overnight, but hopefully as local competition grows from the likes of Dick's, Academy, BPS or whomever, they'll become more competitive on the stuff they carry. And don't forget, they'll price match Sporting Goods too!
