Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire A gun shop wanted to take my name to buy ammo today

A different gun shop than I normally go to wanted to take my name to buy a box of CCI Blazer aluminum case 240 gr jhp .44 mag ammunition today. I said why? He says, so we know you're 21. I say, I'll show you my ID to prove I'm 21. No, we need your name. I said, what does my name have to do with me being 21? Lol.

I told him they could keep that aluminum case ammo.

Some of the gun stores are helping to push this government overreach schit. It's obviously better for them if every single firearm purchase has to come through them. But, it's completely annoying.

The right answer to that clown is, "You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Go get the manager." Bet you would have walked out with the ammo and left no name.

You need to out these traitors. At least for the local folks.

If they are under no Federal or State laws to take your name then they are the problem.

Sounds like something Walmart would do.

This is true. Put the name of the store up here where can start a list to boycott. Send a copy of the list to the store along with a shot of the Campfire member numbers.

They really don't like that kind of attention.

Should have told him your name was Buster Cherry.

That cracked me up, Dude, and I am in a grouchy mood!

some years back, the local WalMart started demanding you show ID to buy ammo. To make sure the buyer was over 21. I was past 70 then, and looked like 40 miles of bad road. I just refused and shopped elsewhere.

I think I'd have accused him of being a queer and wanting the names of all the men that came into the store.

Which shop?

my name is FU Badly! ; ]

Weston Arms. Davie, FL.

Yuma AZ Home Depot once asked me to show ID to buy a can of spray paint. Being a certified geezer of 70+ years, I gladly dug it out. Lady who asked to see it was about the same age, we both got a chuckle out of it. I almost said "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" but thought better of it.

Weston Arms. (Alfie's).

Back when I was a teenager, all ammo purchases had to be logged in to a book at the gun store. I believe it was federal law at the time.

I don't recall exactly when it was stopped, but it used to be the law. That was in the 1970s.

My brother just told me he had to let them scan his driver's license to rent a snake at Home Depot the other day. The lady told him they could get everything off of that.

Everything? Hmmm.

No way they could possibly get your name if you showed them your ID.

I guess that I am just too dumb to understand how your name alone could prove that you are over 21.
