Walmart in PA

I spotted CCI Stinger.  So I bought 10 boxes.  Got to the checkout counter and the cashier says "these aren't for a handgun are they?"

I answered "No" and she rang me up with no further questions.

But, what's the point of that question?  What if I had said yes?

they are "supposed" to check to make sure that ammo that can be used in pistols, i.e. .22, are being used in a rifle. under 21 cannot buy pistol ammo, over 18 can buy rifle ammo.

According to Federal law you must be 21 to purchase handgun ammo, but...

It's just something Wal Mart does. They ask if it's for a handgun or a rifle all the time. Doesn't make a difference what you answer.

Policy dealing with ammunition.  It gets fun when you are an 18 year old with a lever action rifle chambered in .357 Magnum.

Should of saw the look at the lady's face when I bought .22 rim fire the other day. I was asked is this for a pistol or a rifle? I replied I don't even have a gun for it yet! She was like

If you answer "pistol" and you aren't 21 they won't sell it to you.

On a side note, you can't buy 9mm ammo at Wal-Mart even if it's for a 9mm AR. Bullshit.

I buy 9mm at Wal Mart all the time.  Are you saying that if you're under 21, they won't sell you 9mm regardless of whether or not you're using it in a rifle?  

When they ask if the ammunition is for a rifle or pistol, say "submachine gun"

The register prompts the cashier to ask the question whenever ammo is scanned.

The same thing happens when you buy beer and spraypaint.
