Standing at a sporting goods counter at a Walmart in Monrovia, CA. Called ahead to make sure they had stock of steel shot dove loads.
Keep in mind I just bought the last three boxes of this stuff day before yesterday at a different Walmart.
Show them my driver’s license, same one I showed at the other Wally, nope, you need a passport as well.
Argued with everyone up and down the line. Corporate policy, if your Ca DL doesn’t have the little bear logo, you need secondary proof of citizenship. Passport.
1). Wish they’d have mentioned this little detail when I called ahead and checked inventory,
2). Easier for an illegal to vote in this state than for a citizen to buy ammo.
Rant off

It will only get worse before it gets better. Then again, it may never get better.
Mentioning California, Walmart and ammunition in the same sentence seems like an exercise in futility.

What if a citizen shots an illegal. Does it cancel out the vote?

Yes you can ship ammo into Kommiefornia but of course they made it a pain in the ass as of last year.

I went proactive about 5 yrs ago and bought 35 cases of #8,7-1/2 and #6 dove loads. (lead)
There was some sabre rattling about phasing out lead shot.
Which isn't entirely germane to this conversation.

Which isn't entirely germane to this conversation. Not entirely, but partially seeing as how as of July 1 this year there is no more hunting here with anything but Non-Lead ammo. And now we have an added charge to have it shipped in to a licensed dealer, or we have to pay their retail price and pay a background check fee too. Yippeee........... and fewer gangbangers will die because ammo will be harder for them to obtain, right? Geno

Which isn't entirely germane to this conversation. Did that as well a few years back, and now I have a bunch of lead I can't shoot at game in Cali. This state is now entirely lead-free for hunting. Be doing a lot more out-of-state trips the next few years.

California wants the illegals to vote. California doesn't want you to buy ammo.

Those who make money should move from CA and let it implode. Pieces can be swept up later. It is not the state I knew 50 years ago.

About an hour ago I bought two 525 round count boxes of WW 22LR ammo for $18.95 each at a Texas WalMart.
The guy who checked me out put in some numbers for my birthday that the register asked for without asking me. I guess he looked at me and concluded that I was over 21.
It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

We’re out as of next year once my wife retires. The only thing the leftist politicians here want from me is my hard earned tax dollars to spend on programs for illegal aliens! We have become cultural refugees from the state we were born and raised in!
