Funny walmart experience

[duckslayer]

magazine fed, air cooled, semi-automatic sniper rifle.

As fun as this sounds to say, do you not think it may actually reinforce the "automatic assault sniper rifle gun-nut" stereotype that always infringes on our rights when these people go to the voting booth?

You Guys Are Slaying Me..

My SO looked over at me and asked what was so funny, as she found me rolling around on the floor laughing away with tears coming out of my eyes!

Chawbaccer: "The girl came over and asked for ID, you have to be over 21 to buy ammo at Wal-mart. By the way, my age makes me over qualified to be mistaken for under 21."

You missed your golden opportunity. About that time I would have said.. "Well thank you there young lady. Seeing you feel I might not be 21, does that mean I'm young enough then that you'll go out on a date with me?"

zahc: "I once told the checkout girl, oh I'm not gonna shoot them, I'm a collector."

I love it.

TallPine: "is this for a rifle or pistol?" "I dunno ... how do you tell the difference?"

Now that one I've got to remember.

Missouri Mule: "I made a point of telling her she'd better enter the .223 into the computer as being for a handgun. Then as she scanned in the box of .45 acp she asks Handgun right? I said nope, magazine fed, air cooled, semi-automatic sniper rifle."

I'm still laughing over that one.

You guys keep it up now. I haven't had this much fun since I last time I went into Wally World and was asked for I.D. to buy ammo. Just like "Chawbaccer", there's NO way to mistake me for being 21.. 31, 41.. or even 51! It must have been the first time the young kid had sold ammo because he grabbed what I had ordered and started toward the front registers, so I followed.

At the front register I was asked for I.D., I went into my fake stuttering and stammering mode (while my wife got that look in her eyes.. "Oh Boy, here it comes!") as I said "Y, Ya, Yah. I think I got I.D. here someplace" .. and proceeded to pull out about 7 or 8 various state pistol permits/licenses. Talk about a rink full of monkeys. I had 2 cash register operators, the front line supervisor AND the assisstant manager all trying to figure out how I could have so many different permits/licenses from so many different states.. and still only live in one state.

I'm standing back there watching all this happen (with a big grin on my face) while my SO is looking at me, rolling her eyes in her head as she silently mouthed to me "Had to do it.. didn't you?"

Finally the assistant manager just threw her arms up in the air and said something to the effect of.. "Just ring up his stuff and get him out of here!" She's still probably trying to figure it all out.

I gotta try the gun permits from other states route next time I'm carded for ammo, sounds like fun

Have you ever actually seen some of the Wal-mart clerks?
I have to say no thanks on your suggestion.

 

[Double Maduro]

Gee, I guess I never realized what fun I was missing by not shopping at wally world.

By the way, someone said "they keep their prices low by only marking things up a couple of pennies". They mark things up as much as any mass marketer.

They spent $85,000,000,000 with China last year.

Good for the ol' American economy.

The only ammo I buy at WM is 9mm, and it is for my Uzi so I buy like 500 at a time. I've never been asked what the ammo is for at any store so when the guy just rang it up I asked "You guys don't ask what it's for?", and he said "Guy wants ammo, I sell ammo. I could care less what it's for." Good guy - not like the usual goobers you run into. He shoots and reloads and actually knows what you're talking about.

 

[carebear]

I refuse to initial each answer on the yellow form.

So in addition to filling out the 4473 you have to initial your answers?

To be sure you really, really are telling the truth?

Stupidity reigns still.

 

[spacemanspiff]

ooo that reminds me to re-tape my chl to the back of my id.

 

[SIOP]

Last time I bought WWB for my Uzi I told the chump it was for a submachine gun and he told me that he didn't have to sell me any ammo if I was going to be like that.

"Rifle or handgun sir?

*Begin Dennis Hopper impression*

"Man, how can you tell what a rifle or a handgun is? They're both for shooting a lead projectile out of a tube, and that tube is simply there to intensify the blast from the ignition of the gunpowder."

"Just need to know if it's a rifle or handgun sir"

"Your one of... THEM, aren't you?"

"Excuse me sir?"

"Don't call me sir, your just part of the conspiracy man, trying to get in my mind and brainwash me, well it's not gonna work man, it's NOT, gonna work"

"Sir all I need to know is if the ammunition you are purchasing is going to be for a rifle or a handgun"

"And all I need to know is if the government took you aboard one of those black helicopters and planted one of those secret chips in your head that... Hey man your recording all of this aren't you?"

"Yes sir, our security cameras record everything"

"IT'S A CONSPIRACY, SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES"

Initial answers

Yes, Carebear, they wanted me to initial each of my answers on the form. I told them that it was a Federal Form and that it was not required,CORPORATE POLICY!!! was the only answer I got. :banghead: Finally had enough of the foolishness and left. Haven't bought a firearm from them since.

Might be worth playing stupid and giving an innocent call to the local BATF office and ask if it's legal for them to have you do that on a fed form.

The agents might give the store a call and straighten things out.

 

[BluesBear]

When I buy .22RF ammo at WM and they ask me, "Is this for a rifle or a pistol?" I honestly answered "Neither".

Only once has anyone there ever questioned that answer. The girl that say said, "Neither? OK. What kind of a revolver do you have?"

Dang shame she was wearing a wedding ring. Girls like that are keepers.

 

[c_yeager]

I've bought a lot of ammo at Walmart and they have never even asked me. In fact come to think of it I don't think I have ever been carded either, and i still get carded for cigarettes every now and then.

 

[Sportcat]

My Wally World won't sell ammo after 9:00pm!

But I can still by a case of beer, down it, and kill someone in a DUI incident.

 

[Zach S]

Sportcat, one of my local walmarts wont sell it after 22:00. I'm not sure what time they start re-selling it in the morning. AFAIK that one has been closed and opened at another location as a super walmart, maybe now they have someone to work the counter.

The one closest to me closes at 22:00 or 23:00.
