What the title says. The article doesn't have a reason for it.

Walmart requires you to be 21 to buy a gun.  In Oregon, the min age to buy is 18.  A young adult sued walmart over being denied a gun purchase.  A judge ruled that this violates Oregon's anti-discrimination laws.

So I guess walmart is not selling anyone guns in OR to "solve" the lawsuit.

I miss Bi-Mart.  We don't have anything like it locally in NC.  They are a decent store for buying a lot of things.  Although I think their prices increased some after they dropped the membership requirement.

You know, I have yet to stop in the Bi-Mart. I need to do so at some point.

I miss the days when Walmart used to proudly tout all the "Made in USA" items they filled their stores with.

I guess big banners reading "Made in China/Pakistan/India/Bangladesh/Vietnam/Turdistan" wouldn't really work to draw in many customers . . .

I legitimately thought "Bi-Mart" was a pejorative nickname like "china mart", and was wondering how Target sold ammo up there.

It's a real store?

Yup. For us rural rednecks in the Pacific Northwest.  =)

Can the LGTQs shop at Bi-mart also?

I used to stop at the one in Wenatchee when I was doing CME at the hospital there.  There are none on this side of the Cascades that are close to me.  I like the store.

Only if they don't get caught.  It's a cultural appropriation thing.

I used to get Wrangler jeans at Bi-Mart for $12; even less if they were on sale.

Bi-mart must be a regional store as I've never heard of them in the area around St. Louis, MO.

They are primarily in the Pacific Northwest.  I don't believe they have stores outside that area.
