Walmart federal ammo sell regulation

[matrix]

All Walmarts sporting good cash register will automatically force the employee to ask if the buyer is 21 years of age before selling them handgun ammunition. My question is why not have an option for rifle or handgun type of question if the buyer is older than 18 but yet not 21, and they happened to own a carbine that shoot handgun ammo. Also does the cash register ask for rifle or handgun if you buy 22lr?

I'm not quite 21 yet but I want to stock up so when I do turn 21, I can purchase my firearm and not worry about finding ammo. I've been carded numerous time and waste my gas on long useless trip but other time I will get lucky and not be asked to check for ID.

All depends on the cashier ... I've had my 18year old sis buy ammo and it's hit or miss... the younger the cashier the better the odds ... but seriously it's the luck of the draw

They always ask me if its for a hangun or rifle. Just say its for a rifle.

I never got carded for ammo, free drinks at the casino, Yes!

It's been my experience that they consider .22lr handgun ammo. Even if you tell them it's for a rifle (which is about half true) they don't really care.

I've never been carded when buying ammo but buying cigarettes & alcohol. I always get carded. And I'm 43 heheheheh

So take a picture of your rifle and a close-up of the caliber marking, and if pressed once you show that, ask for the manager. Rather than going off on a rant, it's easier to show them why you're buying what you want.

You don't think that the feds may be aware of this? I don't think that saying it's for my 10-22 will get you around the AB-962 language.Brother will not let us go on the honor system. If Walmart does, they will be one of the first to be out of the ammo business.

The register promts the employee to ask if the ammo is for a rifle or a pistol and depending on the answer to the question it requests I.D. for either 18 or 21.

this is exactly what happens. The employee must enter whether it's for a rifle or a pistol and then request for ID for the right age. This happens when you buy rated R movies at walmart also. It will prompt for ID check
