7551 Mall Rd
Florence, KY 41042 (859) 208-0405 Why would they have to scan my driver's license to buy some kids sized plastic ammo cans? Just ridiculous.  Good thing I didn't buy a gun, they may have wanted DNA. |

Sounds a bit sketchy. Especially for a can. I'm used to having to show my license for ammo, but that's because where I live is right on the border with Illinois. |

There are several reasons why. 1. This is a product commonly purchased to stockpile ammunition. 2. This product displays an image or likeness of an image which is commonly used or displayed by white supremacists, hate groups, racists and radicals organizations. 3. This product could be used as a container for a radioactive "dirty" bomb. 4. You are breathing air that is regulated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) and therefore you are subject to enhanced scrutiny. 5. The air you are breathing is mixed with air that once hung over the US Capitol building and is associated with the Jan. 6th "Insurrection" so you must be closely watched. 6. One or more of the highways you used to get to 7551 Mall Rd., Florence, KY 41042 was paid for by state and/or federal dollars. This makes you a probable "person of interest" and subject to strict scrutiny. 7. The child that this product was bought for probably attends a state or federally funded institution of learning and this product might be brought into a "school zone" (within 1000 miles of any public, private or church school, College or university). 8. You are not an employee of the federal government and therefore automatically suspicious. 9. You are probably a Trump supporter and therefore automatically guilty of "something". 10. You are probably a Republican and therefore a Trump supporter. (see #9) 11. You are not a family member of Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi. If you don't fall into any of these categories there are many more factors that could make put you on this "watch list". The serial number of your purchase has been recorded for our archives. Thank you for buying from Shoot Point Blank. |

It's apparently a big group of ranges/shops.
Contact them and ask "what the fuck?" and see what their corporate says. https://shootpointblank.com/contact-support |

No one should write anything hostile.
If you are in the store and carrying don't say anything as it will create a scene. No one wants the police involved. It is probably best just to take ones business elsewhere and encourage others to do likewise. Let us not create a negative image of firearms owners. |

Here is their response-
-"Hi XX, We do this mainly to have proof of purchase that we are abiding the law and only selling items to individuals who are of age. We also use this to track receipts and transactions incase someone misplaces their receipt. We can locate it easier. We also use ID's to identify memberships. If you have other questions or need assistance, please reach out! Live Confidently, Customer Experience Coordinator "- Part of that is sheer nonsense. What does it matter if you sell a "Toy" ammo can or say, duck decoy to someone under 18? But the bit about tracking customers/memberships I have seen at other businesses. (Kroger card anyone?) it just seems this place has decided to use the DL as a secondary ID tied to whatever membership card /system they have. Personally, I would still be very leery of it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Bought some ammo there, had to do the same thing. Odd. Parts of West Kentucky, bordering Illinois, you'll get shops asking to see your DL, but not copying it. Taking the DL number down feels like pre '86, when gunshops were required to keep records of what ammo was sold . |

So what happens if you politely decline to let them scan your DL? Will they not sell you the item?
I haven't run into this, but I do get stores that task for a phone number at the register. I either tell them I don't give it out or I say 223-308-3006 quickly enough that it sounds legit. |

Was a member at the original PB in Cincinnati when it first opened. Dropped my membership after about 2 months. Reason was they gave me and my wife a dose of shit for picking up our brass after shooting on the range. Also had hard time reserving a lane, unlike what they promised. Guy even grabbed me by the shoulder as I was picking up my brass, then got on me about it. Heard some other shit about the ownership that further made me despise PB. I for one hope they go out of business.

But, that applies to customers like you just as much. Each person / organization has to make their own decisions. Neither party is infringing on the basic rights of others. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Knob creek range doesn't allow the carry of loaded weapons on the range. That must make for some interesting shooting sessions. I'm guessing they mean "no loaded sidearms"? One of the big MG shoots in Arizona had to instate that rule after some knucklehead shot himself in the ass and leg with a 1911 during a night shoot. |
