You do not have to be 21 to possess ammo.
Well let me correct myself--no you don't have to be 21 to possess ammo, but to purchase handgun ammunition you have to be 21 under federal law--at least that is what all of the signs say that I have seen when I go into a walmart.
WC just took care of that one.
yes he did
Of course. Isn't that already federal law that SSN would not have to be provided?
The only purpose for an SSN is for purposes of social security--but we have become so accustomed to having it used for everything else that now it has become a natural part of "proving" who we are in transactions....39-17-1351 (c)(4) is what I am referring to. As it stands now--you must provide your SSN on the application.
