So I know this is a little off topic, but I told him I would ask some of you guys. I have a friend/co-worker of mine. His name is Ray, but he has a long, hard to pronounce legal name. Yes he is Indian (not Native American), Yes he is Muslim (by tradition, he doesn't practice). Please keep ignorant comments to yourself. Just to get the facts straight, he was born in India, but has been a U.S. Citizen since he was 7, he is 22 now. He has a Social Security Card, Pays taxes, and has a WI drivers license. Now that we got that out of the way here is what happened.
I have a Glock 19 and I talk about shooting a lot at work. I took him to the range a few times and he loved it. My brother is an avid hunter; me on the other hand, i go when i can get time off work. This fall me and my brother took him deer hunting, right outside of Holmen, WI. Ray did not have a firearm so he was just a long for the ride. But ever since he is hooked on hunting and shooting. He wanted to do some target shooting with me, but did not want to spend a good deal of money for a handgun, so he decided he would just get a .22 rifle until he could get more acquainted with firearm safety and handling. Then buy a bigger bore rifle when hunting season came along again.
So He went into wal-mart and said he wanted to buy a Marlin .22. The guy behind the counter asked him what he planned to do with it. Ray told him target practice. The guy asked for his ID, so ray gave him his drivers license. The guy asked him if he was an american citizen. Ray (obviously getting a little ticked off) said; yea of course I am. The guy behind the counter begins to study rays ID card, looked at the rifle rack and said "do you got a license?" ray said "no what do you mean?". the guy at the counter said "well I would sell you the rifle, but you need a license first". Ray said "to buy a rifle i need a license?"the guy behind the counter said "yup you sure do". Ray really ticked off and a little confused ended up leaving. He told me he couldn't buy a gun there cause the guy said he needed a license first. I told him the guy behind the counter was a racist b*stard lol Prolly catch some flack for this posting, but oh well.
He told me about it and I told him I would ask some guys on this forum and see what they had to say. I know its a little off topic, but thought I would ask.
