Walmart isn't the only retailer doing this. I tried to buy ammo at a Sportsman's Warehouse near me last night (northern California) and since I had the "federal limits apply" stamp on my DL, I was out of luck - needed a certified birth certificate or passport. They have a sign posted at the gun counter explaining the requirements. I tried my military ID (retired) and they would not accept that either. The guy behind the counter was very apologetic (we attend the same church so I know him fairly well) but his manager was there and they wouldn't do it. California sucks.

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. I agree but they have a cancer....better build a wall now around California. The cancer will spread when they can no longer servive

Bought several flats of 12,20 and 28 gauge non toxic for upland hunting and added some waterfowl ammo to my stock also. All to circumvent the clusterphuck beginning July. Still have 3 or 4 flats of lead ammo that i'll hunt other states with. Had several Bass Pro employees explaining how the law would affect buying ammo there after July 1. Obvious upper management didn't understand the law also.

Why any hunter or shooter would stay in California is beyond me You are born here. You build your entire life with a woman here. You hunt and fish your ass off for decades while building a good home in the country while the majority of the state keeps shifting to the left. You wake up one day and realize that this is a hostile environment where you have zero voice. You are attacked for your core values, from the left but also the right because you are a Californian.. You now have grown kids and a wife that refuses to leave them because of your political beliefs. If you divorce the wife and move to your desired free state, the alimony will destroy you and you are crushed financially . That's why.

Salmonella, I've seen the pictures you have posted; you've harvested more and better quality fish and animals than at least 95 percent of the Campfire I'd say, and that's not an insult to anyone, it's just a testimony to the opportunities that you've taken advantage of. You live in a pretty great area even if it is "behind enemy lines". I live in CA for many of the same reasons you do - mainly because my wife does not want to leave, at least not yet. We came here on a military assignment and I've stayed way too long, but we do have plans to move out within the next 4-5 years. I can't wait. But in the meantime, there is a lot to enjoy here, in the outdoors. The politics suck, many of the people suck, but you have certainly made the most of it. That said, I do hope you get the chance to move to a more agreeable location soon. I grew up in Idaho, and much of it isn't the same as it was then, but it's still a pretty good place to be. Same with most of the mountain west.

My wife has supported all of my budget busting hunts and crazy OCD over the top exuberance. She is beautiful and I would live a lonely life without her, so I live here on this fringe. Thanks man, your post made my day.

What if a citizen shots an illegal. Does it cancel out the vote? You from Texarkana? I am from Atlanta. Not to be confused with those impostors from Georgia. Anyway, The big stores everywhere come up with silly crap. But Texas is still better.
What goes up must come down, what goes around comes around, there's no free lunch. Trump's comin' back, get over it!

Just one more reason I don’t do Walmart Don't blame Walmart, the blame lies solely with the communist politicians who run the place.

Nore and more we are getting like Europe, pre-WW2, Need "documents" and "Papers" to satisfy the government, Why should a PASSPORT be required to make a purchase, or exercise any of our rights.
Driver';s license is not enough - that can be forged or faked, so can a passport. Next will be bar codes and implants . It's in Revelations I believe.
And these zombies line up and eat from the media’s trough

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. 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. Take your passport when you go out of state. You might need it to get back.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

. You now have grown kids and a wife that refuses to leave them because of your political beliefs. If you divorce the wife and move to your desired free state, the alimony will destroy you and you are crushed financially . That's why.
I think leaving a place JUST because of your political beliefs is nonsense. Now if said political climate PREVENTS you from exercising your political or anything else, then it is time to go or give in. That said, if your wife threatens divorce as a weapon, I have to tell you, I would have huge issues with that kind of threat. My wife for example, refuses to go to say, Montana because of the extreme weather and the fact she still has a family here in Florida (My folks are gone as of last year, but I also have lots of family in Florida), but let there be no mistake (and a lot of you here either know or know of my wife), if she were to every pull the "D" card because I wanted to move, let's just say it's kinda like combat, in that nobody ever knows how he'll react, but I'm here to tell you, that's one bell that if she chooses to ring, cannot be un-rung...
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

It's about amazing as hitting the lottery just to see a store clerk actually in the sporting goods dept. at the local Walmart stores, let alone one that's authorized to sell guns, ammo and licenses, even more so one who actually knows what they are doing.

I should be buying Lotto tickets, I guess. I simply walked up to the sporting goods counter in a local WM and asked for 22LR ammo and saw the 525 count boxes on a shelf in a behind-the-counter display case. I normally don't shop at Walmart but I went in to see if they had any and their price if they did on the WW 525 round boxes of plated bullet 22LR. I had just left a local gun shop where the owner was now wanting $31.95 for the same box (He heard that there was going to be a rush on ammo and guns, I'm guessing) Next week I'm going to be rich after I cash in my Lotto ticket........... Yippee...!!!!
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.
