I get a laugh every time I read this at my local Wal-Mart

I also had an employee tell me it was illegal to sell ammo for a gun if I was currently carrying the a weapon of the same caliber. I never cease to be amazed at the stupidity of people.

Store policy. During the rimfire ammo shortage, the neckbeards would line up at 6:00 am, to see what came in overnight.

Former manager of the sporting good at local Wal-Mart is long time friend. They would get sportng goods like three times a week. The local store doesn't know what is coming in on a particular shipment - depends on what's in the supply chain all the way back to China. He came in a 7 a.m., and he said there would be a line of neckbeards on delivery day who would want him to first thing go back and see what was on the pallet. If there was any .22, they would wait until he did the paper work, and put it one the shelf. He said they were aggravating as all get out. The first one in line would usually want to buy all in that shipment, and store policy had a limit, so he had to have that argument.

So sometimes it not the employees that have their heads up their fundaments.

I've always found it funny that they keep the ammo under lock and key, then they ask if it's for a handgun. I've actually had to pay for ammo at the front registers and an employee escorted me to the front and wouldn't even let me hold the box. I asked him why the security measures and he said it was the law. I asked him if he'd ever been in a bass pro or any other sporting goods store for that matter.

Mine at least used to have rifle ammo on the shelf, but pistol ammo under lock.
Not sure what they do now.

Mine only has the cheap shotgun ammo on the shelf and everything else under lock and key. One time I was buying 9mm and the guy asked if it was for a handgun and acted mad when I said no.

The employee has to chose 'handgun' or 'rifle' when the register prompts. Minimum age requirement for rifle ammo is 18; handgun ammo is 21.

I know, my point being he acted as if it was impossible for you to have a 9mm rifle.

You should've told him it was for a machine gun.

I'll let this guy explain it to him next time.
