We all laugh at this now but how many of you remember having to sign a log book for every box of pistol caliber ammo you bought? That used to be the law here in Texas and thankfully was repealed sometime in the mid 80's I think. When Wal Mart finally ran the local Gibsons store out of business I bought all the .357 mag soft points they had left in stock. I wrote my name in that book for what seemed like days.
 I always try to ring up all my purchases in sporting goods at Wal Mart when I buy ammo there. You usually don't have to play 20 questions wit them (usually) like you do with the up front checkers. |

Funny, when I left Wall-Mart with ammo, I was questioned by the retired guy guarding the door, and he was a fellow shooter and vet from the Korean War.
 I spoke with him for a few minutes on the Korean War, he told me that he was so cold when he was there, and he was 20 years old at the time. The estimate was it was something like -30F below.

I usually will just go in when shoping for groceries and pick up a box of this or that...
Usually, I get the, "You only want one?" look....I think most people come in buy much more. |

The only time I ever get questioned while buying ammo at Wal-Mart is whether I want a particular brand, bullet grain, bullet type, etc. Most of them couldn't care less what it is I'm buying, they'll just toss something that sounds close to what I asked for and ring it up.

I was questioned like that once, at no less Walmart. I asked him if I was buying a gallon of milk would he ask me what I was going to do with it. He stammered on a little bit, but got the point and shut up. I hate nosy people! |

Wonder if anyone is courageous enough to try this:
Go to the bathroom or waterfountain at WMart, splash some water on you face to give the sweaty appearance. Briskly and forcfully walk up to the ammo counter... Say in a stern voice: " I NEED SOME 9MM AMMO NOW....I'M IN A HURRY...." ...and quickly look over your shoulder several times |

 That is my new Sigline! Thanks. I purchased 500 rounds each of 9mm and .45ACP plus 13 boxes of .223 WWb this morning. The customer behind me(20ish white guy) "That all for you" I reply Yes just stocking up. He Says"For What" I reply "Black Helicopters and Zombies" Him....stunned/horrified look on his face. |

I convinced a young gal working sporting goods at Walmart that I use .45's to make fishing lures. I was buying two boxes of .45's along with a bunch of fishing stuff, and she asked me if I was going to shoot the fish. I stood there and went into detail about how they were perfect to make weighted lures. I really made up some good shit, and even showed her where I drilled the holes to attach the hooks. I honestly think she believed it!

I had to go to WallyWorld today, and in honor of this thread, had to get some more ammo. Older (mid-60's) guy working behind the counter I'd seen before, but had not been waited on by. "Don."
Don: "May I help you, sir?" Me: "Yes, sir. May I have a box of Winchester .45 auto in the 100 round value pak?" Don: "Yes, sir. Here you go. Anything else?" Me: "Yes. What do you have in 12 gauge 2 3/4" slugs, sir?" Don (withough blinking an eye): "Rifled or sabot?" Now, for the benefit of all you Wal-Mart bashers, he did pronounce it "sa-bet," but I was grinning so damn much at the fact he knew to ask that I just ignored it and said, "Rifled, please, sir." Don: "Well, if you want 2 3/4, I have a great deal for you. I've got Remingtons in a 15-round box for $5.29." Me: "Great. I'll take all you have there." Don: "Only have five boxes. Do you want me to look in back, sir?" Me: "No, thanks. Five will do. Can I ring all this other stuff up here, too?" Don: "Yes, sir." And so it went. God, I love this state. Thanks to everyone in this thread, otherwise I may not have thought to go to WallyWorld for ammo today, and I would have had 75 fewer slugs on the shelf. |

Due to a unnamed religious group I ended up working at Walmart for a few months. I was ringing up someone who had about 100 rounds of shotgun shells. The guys comment to me was, "Have you ever seen anyone buy this much ammo before?" Without missing a beat, I replied, "Every time I look in the mirror, Sir." We looked at each other and just started to laugh.

Last time I went the chick got all stupid on me saying it was a waste of ammo to just shoot it at a target. Her words were something along the line of "I could understand if you were sighting in a scope or getting ready to hunt". I felt insulted by the woman. I wanted to go off on her and explain that guns aren't just for killing Bambi and how target shooting can actually be a sport and challenging but I knew I would waste my breat on her dumb ass.

At the Wally World I shop at you can only purchase ammo at the sporting goods counter. So every time I go there to pick up something (groceries) which is every other day it seems like I do my shopping I head sporting goods counter to pick up a couple hundred rounds along with my groceries or whatever else I get. They are getting very used to me at that counter. I don’t even get strange looks.

You're lucky they even have ammo for you to buy. EVERY time I go into my local WM, they are out of the Winchester 9mm 100-rd valuepacks. I finally got ticked enough to gripe to the clerk that "damn man, do they only allocate this store 3 boxes a week or something? I can't drop in every dang day hoping you got some in. Why don't you guys get enough in so that customers can actually buy it?"
I've given up on WM for any type of ammo. |

"what are you going to do with all that ammo?"
They get real uppity when you reply... "Hopefully only shoot it at paper." Once I replied with the single word "motorcade", but the kid behind the counter had no idea what I was talking about. Probably a good thing now that I think about it. I really don't shop for ammo at Walmart that often though. A relatively local shop has a good deal on Federal XM193. 500 rounds for $94 (plus tax) and always have atleast a pallet on hand. My greatest fear is that my local arfcommers will find out. |

Did you ever even entertain the thought that she was intrigued and may have enjoyed shooting with you at the range? My buddy, Luckey, and I take chics, that we just meet, to the range all the time. Here in Alabama, as soon as some little girl finds out that you're into guns they, usually, ask "well... when we goin shootin'?". No problems, here, at Walmart, at all. |

Similar here. Wal-Mart won't sell handgun ammo to anyone younger than 21. So if you say it is for a handgun, you have to show an ID. If it is for a rifle, they will sell it to anyone. Funny, when I buy a case of Budweiser, they don't ask me if I'm going to drink it, or wash my hair with it. |

I was just up at the local Wal-Mart and bought some .45 and .223. I went with the .45 Blazin Brass and .223 Winchester. I had to wait about thirty minutes for the with out a clue clerk to mess up another persons firearm transaction. The clerk fill out and called the transaction in and everything was approved. He then had to call a manager to do her thing!! She noticed that the model on the gun did not match the paperwork. She also notices the customer had one address on his DL and another on the form. These people need to be schooled up on this.. Just venting bare with me.

I got a reprint fishing license today and cleaned them out of Wini white 55FMJ. The older gentleman behind the counter asked me if I was going to shoot the fish.
I told him no, that's what the explosives are for. He just smiled and said, "I like your style." |

Just look at them with a dead serious and say, "hold on"
Go the the movie section and grab a copy of DOTD. When you get back look around like you are being surveiled and slip them the DVD. Tell them is a life saving documentary that will forever change the way they look at everyday life. Be sure and tell them how it woke you up to the truth about the dangers and also give them some quick tips. "This documentary reveals the rare strain that enables Zombies to run until they decay" As you walk away from the coutner after your purchase just say. "Pray its not the running virus." |
