This isn't really a political thing, so I thought this was the best place to ask.
I know federal law prohibits pistol ammo to be sold to people under 21. How is pistol ammo defined?
I cannot get a straight answer on this. Some stores won't even sell me .22 Long Rifle because they consider it 'pistol ammo'. At the same time, people tell me that I can be sold 9mm if I have a carbine chambered in it. This all sounds a little fishy to me, I mean, what if I have a pistol chambered in a rifle cartridge. Is the rifle cartridge considered pistol ammo now?
So what's the deal... how is something considered pistol ammo? Or is this just one of those things left undefined so the BATFE can hold it over dealers?
