Are they limiting purchases?
So many rounds/boxes a week per person/household?

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. Sounds like something Walmart would do. 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.

When asked, I always told em I was gonna shoot it in a machine gun. (Regardless of cartridge) That’s as much as telling autozone you need a distributor for a 70 Plymouth Superbird with a 440 sixpack. 😃

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. Couldn't have been a federal law. In Indiana, I never had to show ID to buy ammo in the 70's. Apparently the the GCA of 1968 required a log of all pistol ammo sales including 22 rimfire. The 1986 GOPA repealed the requirement. https://www.nraila.org/articles/20120726/federalammunitionregulation2012"...…...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...….."

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. I might just give them a call.. I don't hold back. In person or on the phone.. If they are a stupid mother fugger, you call it a stupid mother fugger. Like a skunk is a skunk.. No denying some people are a waste of air..

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.

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

Are they limiting purchases? So many rounds/boxes a week per person/household? 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.
