Dick's Ammo Purchase

[rundownfid]

At my local Wal-Mart, if you buy ammo from their locked counter, always handgun and sometimes rifle they check you out there. however, just before small game and deer season they have skids of rifle and shotgun ammo sitting out and one my browse, select and proceed to check out with the pork rinds, etc. However, if it is 22 ammo they must get a message on their register to ask if it is for a rifle or handgun (mine is always for a rifle amazingly enough). I am not exactly happy with Wal Mart's policies, but it is hard to beat their prices.

the policy must be by store not by chain

buy 9mm at my local WalMart whenever they have it in, and the clerk gets it out of the locked case, sets it on the counter, and asks if I'd like to pay for it there or up front with my other purchases

I've never bought ammo from Dicks here in NEPA. It just seems to me like a long walk just to find no selection.

Never have seen a Dicks, but one is under construction about 2 miles away, will report later when they open

That particular Dick's is heavily influenced by Dickson City politics. They don't sell BB guns either because some kids had been misusing them.

I bought my first handgun at the Dick's in Virginia Beach - right when they were selling down their stock in preparation for not selling handguns at all.

About being escorted to the door:
The last couple of times I bought guns at Cabela's, I had to be escorted to the door. I thought that was kind of funny for such a manly man's hunting and fishing emporium, but not really a big deal.

At Wally World here in Houston - you have to show ID to buy BB's - nothing recorded but ID for BB's?
