Why Doesn’t Walmart Let You Return Ammo?

There are currently no federal laws prohibiting you from returning the ammunition to any retail store, but Walmart stands firm on its policy. It has been speculated on online forums that such a protocol is established to prevent customers from returning ammo that has been tampered with.

Altered firearm ammunition is dangerous and could cause a chemical reaction, fire, or explosion. Walmart avoids taking risks to protect customers from injury and themselves from potential lawsuits.

Walmart refuses to make exceptions even when the ammunition is in its original packaging and hasn’t been opened.
