Some how this is discrimination,

This is getting out of hand

You can join the military at 17, fight wars at 18,
But society doesnt want you to buy ammo or a pistol until
21.

Betcha they will sell soap pods to a 16 year old.

Just like you have to be 21 to buy booze, Some Bum will go in and buy it for you...For a price!

Maybe we should make it where they don't sell any ammunition to anyone, by not buying it from them no matter what age? Everybody's talking no flights with Delta, no cars from Enterprise, and I know plenty of people on this site are already strongly morally opposed to shopping at Wally World anyway. I'll be the first to admit, I'd have a tough time totally abandoning Walmart, I can't stand grocery shopping at Winn Dixie and they're going belly up already, but maybe when it sits on their shelves unsold they'll relent.

It's cheaper to order ammo online.

OR

You can support your LGS.

If you think getting someone to open the ammo case at Wally World try buying razor blades. I once got shot in the neck with a dart while waiting.

Academy has been asking for my DOB every time I buy ammo now. You can look at me and tell that I am 50 years old but they still ask anyway.

Because the 18 year old kid working the register is required to punch in the date on the computer. They do the same at Winn Dixie and Rouses whenever I buy beer.

Tell them DOB
They punch it in
The computer says Yes or No

That is literally the automated idiot proof society we live in now.

I might stand outside Walmart (looking real shady) "hey there young adult want me to buy you some ammo...."

It’s hard to avoid Wal-Mart 100%, but I’ve been working on it. I no longer buy from their sporting goods department.

It's easy to avoid Wal-Mart 1,000%.

Instead of Wal-Mart, I go to the local grocery store.
Instead of Wal-Mart, I go to the local gun shop.
Instead of Wal-Mart, I go to the local clothing stores.
Instead of Wal-Mart, I go to the local auto parts stores.

See that word? Local...

Buying booze for a 16 year old is against the law. Buying ammo for someone under 21 that can legally posses ammunition is not. If I had time, I'd sit there at the counter buying ammo for anyone under 21 that needed it.

Oh Yeah, we all have been there when we were 16 looking for a six pack on a Saturday night, Didn't care about the law!
I stopped once at a hardware store in Georgia to buy a box of 22 mag's for my pistol, Had to be 21 unless the ammo was for a rifle!
All of the sudden my pistol became a rifle, It was that easy to get around the law, Guess Georgia did away with the law OR it may of been federal law?

Mandeville doesn't have a Wal-Mart.

I'm not driving out of my way to go to that **** hole in Covington.

Mandeville Neighborhood Market #5832

I have had ammo shipped there before so I don't have to go to Covington. You should try it.
