    so at dicks they ask if you are a citizen when you buy ammo. theres no way to avoid it either as it's built into the signature pad. Does anyone know why they ask this?

    Maybe Dicks is taking a stand against Fast and Furious II? Besides isn't it illegal to buy ammo if you're not a citizen.

    Last time I was there, they asked me if I was a citizen. They asked for ID. Now if they were doing a log I would have refused, but the guy at the counter just glanced at it and said I was good to go.

    I buy ammo at the Gaithersburg location regularly and have never had any questions asked.

    I stopped by the Gaithersburg Dick's last week and picked up a couple bricks of CCI SV and they didn't ask me a thing.

    I have no problem with profiling. If you follow the rules you won't get punished. Nothing wrong with asking a question. But then again I also have no problem with the "PIC" asking me for identification or even putting me in a log book. It's really not a big deal.
    Profiling based on what? What someone looks like?

    isn't it illegal to buy ammo if you're not a citizen.
    No it's illegal to buy ammo if you're an ILLEGAL alien.
    LEGAL aliens can buy ammo & even gunz & stuff.

    Thats one of the advantages of being legal.

    This was at the gberg location. They asked for ID then this.I have middle eastern genes though im a citizen here and dont have an accent. Profiling or not doesnt bother me. I was just curious of moco had passed some kind of law or something. To me it just didnt make sense that they asked for an ID then they asked if you were a citizen. I thought maybe someone knew what this was about as in the past I didnt have the prompt come up.
