So, I walked into Walmart today, intending to observe their first day of ammo sales under the new California Law. I went to the ammo section and saw every sales associate who sells ammo (I literally know them all), waiting and discussing selling ammo. They asked if I needed any help, so I volunteered to be the first purchaser, in Cerritos.
I selected 3 boxes of 9mm and 2 packs of mini mags. They took my ID and started the DROS process. They had to identify the maker, the weight, and round count of EACH $#^% box of ammo. There were copies involved! At the end, I really felt like I was purchasing a gun. The process took around 20 mins. I told them that I'll come back when they streamline the process. If it weren't for the dubious distinction of being the first to make a purchase, I might not have done it at all. BTW, they told me that I could buy any type of ammo that I wanted, even if I didn't have a gun to match it....odd!
