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

Are they limiting purchases?

So many rounds/boxes a week per person/household?

But they don’t

So in the end, it’s good ole Peepaw at the LGS stickin it to American gun owner. Probably got that aluminum ammo for his shelves by sending his retarded nephew to go stand in line at 7am at Academy Sports and yet again, cock block the everyday hunters and shooters.

That’s as much as telling autozone you need a distributor for a 70 Plymouth Superbird with a 440 sixpack. 😃

Son saw a brick of 22's at Walmart today.

We have plenty, let someone else have them.

Apparently the the GCA of 1968 required a log of all pistol ammo sales including 22 rimfire. The 1986 GOPA repealed the requirement.

"...…...The Gun Control Act of 1968 required federal licensing for all ammunition dealers, and required that a record be kept on all handgun ammunition sales by retailers—including the popular .22 rimfire cartridges. The requirements proved to be such a heavy burden on retailers that in 1982, Congress removed .22 caliber rimfire ammunition from the record-keeping requirement.

Even with that change, the value of ammunition sales licensing and record keeping was doubted by many, including the nation's top firearms law enforcement officials. In 1984, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee concluded that ammunition dealer licensing "was not necessary to facilitate legitimate Federal law enforcement interests."1 In 1986, the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms supported eliminating the record keeping requirement: "The Bureau and the [Treasury] Department have recognized that current recordkeeping requirements for ammunition have no substantial law enforcement value."2 As a result, the Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986 repealed the ammunition restrictions, with little opposition despite heated debate over other provisions of the bill...….."

waldos near me has zero ammo. not one single round. and only about 4 or 5 mossberg tomato stakes. but they did have a giant pecan log roll in the checkout line that i have been gnawing on for a few days. getting ready to do a wilford brimly here in a bit.

I remember this as well. Just shows our age. Most on here would not recognize a pay phone. Hasbeen

nothing to do with gun shops but a friend and his golf buddy used to give the names Harry Foreskinotto and Al Prepuce ( look up prepuce) at the golf course in the morning and they would blare it over the loudspeaker when it was their tee time, he got a real kick out of it, him telling the story and laughing hysterically was even better, lol

You go girl, I’m sure an opinion from a knucklehead in Oregon of all places will convince them to change.

For any shop to do that is just wrong.

The ammo sign book thing went away a long time ago.

Glad you walked and so should other around there.

I don't see this happening to me without the whole damn incident being made public, ie: names, business, location.

This is the kind of [bleep] that Patriot's need to call out.

Ok into the 80's.

Give them a call and voice your concerns.

Dox the [bleep] out of them

Hell, in a few places one has to go through a full background check to buy ammo. It is what it is, BS. Depends on where one lives.

LD,

I don't blame you.
Have you heard about the effbee eye showing up for interrogation of customers who make " sizable"purchases? Some of the sporting goods shops call them on their customers, then investigate. Crazy times. There's certain people who always want to know what honest people own for some strange reason

Be sure to run home and tell your Mommy about the mean old lady at the gun shop who aske you your name. Some guys sure know how to make much ado about the most trivial stuff !

That's the only thing that makes sense. They are keeping a record for their own use to limit hoarding purchasers. There may be more than one clerk and they are trying to be fair to the whole community. I believe I would not assume the worst. They could double the price and gouge hell out of the customers who would probably pay it. Call the man and ask what's up, all he wanted to know was the name. The clerk may be clueless.

When I read about local dirt's experience, I imagined that there was probably an ATF or FBI agent in the back room peering out through mirrored glass or watching the customers on camera...

They'd throw you out for walking in.
