I went to wally world tonight to pick up a couple of Federal 550-rd value packs, and after the cashier stared at my ID for at least twenty seconds without saying a word (awkward), I was expecting the usual "for rifle or for handgun?" question. I usually say rifle, pay for the goods, and I'm on my way. Usually.
Tonight the cashier told me "I can't sell this to you, you need to be over 21". I asked why and he said "because this (referring to .22LR) can be used in both rifles and handguns". Then he said "they're cracking down" (whatever that means), and after trying to explain to him that I'm still over 18 and legal to buy rifles and rifle ammo, and explaining that pistols can shoot rifle rounds and rifles can shoot pistol ammo, he wouldn't change his mind about selling me the ammo.
Normally I would just go to another Wal-Mart (even though going to W-M is a chore in itself), however I've had a hard time finding the Federal 550-round value packs these past couple of days, as they sell VERY fast around here. I'm only frustrated because I finally found a Wal-Mart that had this particular ammo in stock and was denied the purchase. This was a Wal-Mart I almost never go to, mind you, so I'll hopefully never run into this again.
I stopped at the W-M by my house, and they would've been happy to sell me my Federal .22LR, if they had any. :banghead:
