Bought a box of 350 9mm the day before some hunting season started. Ducks maybe? Lots of people trying to buy licenses. Talked to a couple of guys from Illanoying who were asking me about my open carrying of a S&W six inch stainless 686. Kinda hard to miss. Couple of other hip hop baggy pants around their knees type dudes looking at knives were keeping a close eye on me out of the corner of their eye while trying not to look like it.
Came my time up and we got ammo out of the case, an older, well dressed woman was working counter. She was overwhelmed, possible management material.
Anyway she asked for my ID. I'm 56, grey beard, no way I look under 21. She took my drivers license over to the register and started punching keys. I asked her what she was doing, you do not need to enter my ID into the system to buy ammo in Wisconsin, only verify I am over 21.
She said they had to confirm I was NOT an Illinois resident or she would have to see a FOID card. I have a Wisconsin license, and resident of said state. So, when did this start?
I don't believe this is a law, maybe a Walmart driven issue. Anyone else run into this ?
I just bought ammo 10 minutes ago at WM in Fergus Falls, Mn. No ask for ID. I told the older guybhelping me if he had heard anything about this and he said no. But, MN does not have a border with Illinois tho I am sure people come here from there to hunt here.
Not too thrilled about all my intel being entered into Walmart's system tied to a specific ammo purchase, nor that they may be going above what is required by law to sell ammo to out of state residents.
