Wow!
I buy ammo at the Madison Farm and Fleet all the time (when they have it!*) It involves picking it from the shelf and carrying it to the check out. There's no "special plastic bag or showing of ID. Maybe once in a while they ask if it's for a long gun or hand gun. Madison area Walmart's show no consistency in their procedures, even within the same store. Sometimes I'm required to pay for it at the sporting goods checkout, other times they just hand me the boxes and I pay at the storefront checkout. They don't ask ID, but sometimes the "hand gun or long gun" question.
You Dairy Queen episode is interesting. Some good things in there. On the positive side, we have a 12-year old "little Miss Condition Yellow" out their who shows more observational awareness of her surroundings than the average adult. She's maybe a bit hoplophobic-- but maybe not. It could be that she fears strangers with guns more than just guns alone. Sounds like Grandma was at ease with the situation and not assuming "the worse."
*The most recent visit to F&F last week revealed plenty of common rifle and shotgun ammunition on hand-- absolutely NO rimfire ammo, and no hand gun ammo with the exception of a few boxes of cowboy action load .45 Colt-- of which I purchased a box for Glock Girl's Winchester '94. Stopped at Dick's (Madison east side location) yesterday and found limited handgun ammo on the shelf with a "3 box" limit on any one caliber. There was American brand 9mm, Wolf .40 and I think 9mm, lots of .44 mag, some .380 and higher end .38 special hollowpoints-- Federal, if I remember correctly. There might have been some .357 magnum too, but since that's one of the few calibers I haven't had much trouble finding, I'm already well-stocked for current needs.
