While picking up some fishing gear at WalMart I spotted 2 100rd 12G 7 1/2 shotgun shell cases. At the register the cashier said I didn't know we sold this, I laughed and said me either!!!!!

good one
It's April already?
I have not seen those boxes at a Walmart in the last 4 months I've been looking.

The last time I bought from Walmart, maybe 3 months ago, the cashier took my drivers license information. She said that it was store policy.
This must be new a year ago they didn’t. This was the Glen Burnie store.

Should have told her to FO.
A person should no more have to show ID to buy ammo, than to buy Sudafed. Oh, wait ....I look at it this way, in MD you need an HQL to buy a handgun and you need ID to purchase a long gun.
I have no issue with ID to show that you are 21 or older to buy ammo.
As it was, Walmart was pulling ammunition off their shelves for a number of reasons. And a number of members were scrounging around for 12ga ammo.
I purposely bought the only 2 boxes of shells that they had, and sold them to a member at cost.

Brian Frosh approves of the bolded above.
True.No you shouldn’t have to , but it’s their store, their rules, and in some cases state laws. It is what it is.
We wear masks for the same reasons.
No one makes you buy from stores that enforce their rules and regulations.
How is this legal? I thought mere possession of ammo within city limits was illegal without the appropriate permit?
Showing ID is one thing, them taking down and keeping information is another. The later is a bridge too far.

I've purchased ammo from WalMart and other stores in MD and VA so what would be the difference in them selling it to me than the DC WalMart?
