Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted May 6, 2013 Interesting experience this weekend with all the talk about immigration, gun control and constitutional rights. I can't afford to buy lots of ammo at a time, and with the recent lack of ammo on shelves I pay close attention to what is on the shelf when I go in a store that sells ammo. I found a box of ammo I had been looking for and decided to buy it. Bought a pair of shoes for the kid, some socks and one box of ammo. My wife is paying with her debit card when the lady asks, "Are you a citizen of the United States?" I go, what????? Why are you asking that question??? Sir it is our company policy to make sure we are selling ammunition to citizens of the US...... Really??????? Wonder if the Feds know they are asking that question, I thought that was like against the law and profiling and all that stuff???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted May 7, 2013 So whats wrong with that? If they asked me i would say yes and show them my driver license. Exactly my point.....I get asked all the time to show verification that I am a citizen so why is it such a big deal for voter ID.......what is good for one should be good for the other................ Really it just caught me off guard......it also shows that gun registration will not stop crazies from getting guns....my wife has bought all my guns and I am the one who shoots them, uses them etc...........well I guess they really aren't my guns, they are hers........legally..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZLance Report post Posted May 7, 2013 I ask that question to everyone who comes to my yard sale! Half the people turn around and leave... Oh we'll some one else will buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted May 7, 2013 So whats wrong with that? If they asked me i would say yes and show them my driver license. Ummm, because it isn't a requirement to purchase ammo. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azmetalman Report post Posted May 7, 2013 I purchased powder and bullets at Bruno's Shooters Supply today and was asked for picture ID. They didn't record anything.......just checking. Then I remembered that I have printed "Picture ID" on the signature line of my debit and credit card. It doesn't bother me to be asked anyway. Is it an enfringement? Don't care. If it help keep things safe I'm OK with it . I try not to read anything into such situations. If you are so thin skinned that you can't deal with something as innocuous as a picture ID you need to spend some time reflecting on the timesin which we live. Just my 2 cents.

PRDATR Report post Posted May 7, 2013 I have plenty of friends who have Green Cards and they never get asked. Why? Because it isn't required. If you are making a purchase with anything other than cash then it is commonplace to ask for a picture ID. http://smartgunlaws.org/ammunition-regulation-policy-summary/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AverageJoe Report post Posted May 7, 2013 So whats wrong with that? If they asked me i would say yes and show them my driver license. Ummm, because it isn't a requirement to purchase ammo. But it is a private store and they can set whatever policy they want and also refuse service to anyone they want. You dont like it, dont shop there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted May 7, 2013 You get the 3d degree when buying a gun or ammo but if you were al 14 year old girl wanting to kill her baby you can get that with no questions asked. Don't even need to tell your parents. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly my point again....I am thin skinned but for someone to present identification for a voting booth or because they got pulled over for speeding, now that is just not American, that is profiling and all other sorts of politically incorrect behavior. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
