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.

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?
crazy my name is FU Badly! ; ]

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. grin

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

It was probably the manager that told his employees to operate this way. Gunshops like that won't get my money.. They can FU CK off... I would have told them to keep their ammo.
Give em a fake name? Like going to a party and telling everyone a different name that you meet and leave before they connect the dots.

Good reason not to buy that aluminum case schit, anyway. There's another small shop over on 441 just barely into Ft Laud that has brass cased stuff from a small company in Colorado.

Little expensive, but I'd rather have that.

Yup, I remember Pops having to buy my ammunition. 1968 GCA. Fully rescinded in 1986. We've been spoiled with that Freedom for 34years at least at the Federal level.

Last week I went into local gun store where I have bought reloading stuff for 20 years , picked up 2 boxes of 87 gr. 6 mm, went to pay for them and they said they needed a picture I.D. before they could sell them, I told the owner, stick them where the sun don't shine, and drove about 2 miles to another gun shop and bought them, no question's asked, Rio7

I never had to show my ID because they knew I was underage and sold it to me anyway. Now they ask to see it.

i think i would politely tell them no and that they will never get another dime of my business. maybe even let them know you will let your gun loving buddies know as well. this type of thing has got to stop.
Just dumb smuck thinks he’s going to be critical in solving the next shooting or hoping the feds will look at him as really trying to do the right thing and leave him alone .
You know the upity ass type gun owners that agree with bans so they’ll leave their shotguns and deer rifles along .
Kenneth

Mmm , maybe I need some pussy
They probably think with the ammo shortage they hold the high card and can demand things outside the law.

Think I would contact the owner, see what his or her reasoning is, and explain as others have said that they won't get my business and that you will spread the word to your shooting buddies.

Curious if it was a chain store or single owner establishment.

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.

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...….."
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.

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.

But seriously, the times I have seen this was at shows. They are less than discreet about the line of questions I've overheard them ask vendors and attendees. I had one approach me and ask what was in my fanny pack, etc. I walked away because he was a stranger and none of his business, but some would interact.

It doesn't even take your DL #. A search of your name in the right system will reveal all UCC filings, utility accounts, vehicles registered, all licenses both recreational and professional, known relatives with age and address.

According to some people, here on the fire, telling them that they didn't need your name (same as telling someone that it's none of their business), is wrong.

You did a no-no! So you now you get a time-out!

killerv, gunwizard, callnum, and akasparky are gonna be all over you; because you didn't give your name, blood type, next of kin, who you voted for, fingerprints, wife's maiden name, dog's sex, and what you have for supper the night before. I hope you can bear the strain.

Oh, by the way, GOOD FOR YOU!
Let’s see.

A good Man posted an aggravating experience that he had, a ten way pissing contest ensues and now he’s a mofo for posting what happened.

Welcome to The Campfire, LD.

Exactly. Nothing worse than when you go to pay for something. “What’s a good phone number for ya”
I recall when radio shack started this. Then Cabelas and now even the LGS thinks they have a right to ask for your phone number. I just tell the gals at the checkout "Thank you for asking but I'm married". If they can't handle that I tell them "No thank you" and occasionally if the checker is totally clueless I just say "Look, I'm not giving you my damm phone number".

And to think you don't even need an ID to vote in half of the USA.
Information is $.
Googles primary source of money is to collect our data and sell it.
The states do the same.

Those loyalty cards at grocery stores?.....
The same that assure you that they keep all information on their customers confidential?.. .
Katherine Albrecht s research thesis and book covered this back when all the establishment trusting gullible souls were going for them and asking if they can offer any other helpful personal information.

This might not be what the gun shop was going for, but most info mining is for reasons of $.

A friend of mine was an Iowa DCI agent. He found the name of a murder suspect in one of those books buying the exact ammo that was used in a homicide. They had some value but they were pretty intrusive.

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.





I believe you're not far off, slum. I was at BassPro this afertnoon. Found a box of 250 Berry's 9mm 147 gr. Bought that and asked the ringing me up if he had any loaded ammo. He says no, everything they had sold out to about the first 15 people through the door this morning. Sales guy said he thinks they're all local LGS and pawn shop owners.

Yes. They were also limiting purchase to 1 box.

He didn't say my name was for anything about tracking purchases. Just said he had to "put it in the computer".

Hey gungizzard,

Shouldn't you, caldumb, and Washinadutie be tired of following me around sniffing my farts by now?

You're all pathetic.

Funny. BassPro sales guy asked for my phone number today when I bought some bullets. I refused to give it to him, but I did use my loyalty card to get the points from the purchase. They probably already had my phone number. Lol.
Remember what Uncle Joe said over in the Oval Orifice - the 2A wasn't "absolute". Hang on - you haven't seen the commie Dems in full anti - 2A glory.

Welcome to The Campfire, LD.

Psalms 133, verse 1 comes to mind.

Carry on.





Toot, It's just what some of those clowns do.

They must be miserable to live with.

I've been wondering the same about you.
You're the one who poked his nose where it didn't belong, maybe MYOB would be a good idea.

MYOB? About what, dumbass?

You're the one following me around, tapping on a thread about MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE with somebody wanting my name to buy ammunition.
I had a friend that used to collect business cards. Whenever I'd leave a job, he'd ask for my unused cards. Whenever he got in a situation where someone would ask for his info and he didn't want to give it, he'd whip out one of these cards and hand it to the guy.

Eventually, he had cards made for Smoot and Hoof. This was a defunct business in downtown Cincinnati that was adjacent to Findley Market. He couldn't find out anything about the business; all he had to go on was the sign. The sign had been exposed during the partial renovation of the stores next to the market. It looked like it had been painted before 1900.

He had business cards made up and even had little business postcards printed with a photo of the sign and storefront. When he wanted to get somebody's goat, he's write "Your dry cleaning is ready to be picked up." on the back of the card and send it to them. There was no phone# and no address.

My suggestion to all you guys who are getting wound up over giving out your phone # is either collect business cards from salesmen, or get a fake card made up. Now you can do it online dirt cheap. Make it look really official and put some totally bogus info on it.

John said those fake cards got him out of a bunch of otherwise harrowing scrapes.

Our local bps asks for number for all purchases, its tied to your reward points. Most folks dont have their card on them.

What's the matter gunwizard..... kinda 2-faced aren't you?

It's ok for you to tell someone to MYOB, but not for me to tell someone that it's 'none of their business'.

You don't know me either, but you didn't hesitate to tell me that I was wrong for telling someone that it was 'none of their business', so I was just warning LD of what might happen.

I always quote January 1st, 1901 when asked. After doing this for some time, I have only had a single person look at me and smile, then enter the date anyway. The rest can't add up or don't care.
