I remember when I was growing up Walmart use to sell guns, at least the ones near me haven't in years anyone know why that is
FWIW, the WalMart stores in PA still do.

For some reason they stopped after 9/11, and pulled all gun sales. Not sure of the rationale.
I had this issue carrying my 1911 when i went to buy some 16ga rounds. The manager wasn't going to sell to me while I was carrying. I said fine. I went and got a cart and started loading up the 100rd packs of 12ga that was on a end cap. he finally saw the logic and sold me the 16ga rounds but then had to escort me to the front door.
Why are the 16 & 20ga rounds locked up but not the 12ga?

Any way the reason he has to ask it that its federal law that any body under 21 cannot buy handgun ammunition from a dealer.
Not picking on you, but could you cite that law?
Anyways, as for store policy, I remember doing a bunch of google fu-ing after I was denied .22LR (rifle ammo!!!) at the renton walmart by some douchebag.
I can't pick which one was the correct one but there's two procedures floating in my thoughts;
1. 18-20 customer rings up some .22lr/whatever, the machine prompts the cashier to ask if it is for rifle or pistol and then asks for birthdate.
2. 18-20 customer rings up .22lr, the machine first asks if customer is 21, which the cashier HAS to press no, AND THEN the machine asks if 18 which the cashier then hits yes. And then asks for birthdate.
I think it was the 2nd procedure now that I think about it because I remember the douchebag stopped at the 21 screen and wouldn't even hit no and refused to go on, even though I was telling them it was legit and all.
Common Sense is almost a super power anymore. Only certain people have it. To bad it cant be taught in school.
