Any ammunition seller with an FFL (sells firearms) must verify age before selling ammo. It's a federal requirement.I had a Walmart ask me for my ID to buy a case of shotshells about 10 years ago.

I think his point is asking DOB and asking for ID are two different things. Perhaps the Walmart cashier that asked for ID was too lazy to hand key DOB in. I'd make them hand key it instead of swiping an ID.Any ammunition seller with an FFL (sells firearms) must verify age before selling ammo. It's a federal requirement.
CA, for awhile. Long time ago. I used to sign it Charlie MansonI don't remember any requirement for logging into bound book for ammo purchasing back then. Maybe in your local area but not in NC, MO, or NM.
I do not give that company any of my money, so this does not affect me in the slightest. If you want to be treated that way, by all means keep going.Was delighted to see several Federal Champion 525 bulk packs back in Walmart for $20,97. Gladly decided to pickup a box. At checkout, the kid asked for my ID which he looked at then imputed into the register. Huh? I asked him what he entered (thinking it was the DOB). Nope, it was the drivers license number. I asked him why he needed that and he said it's now store policy. Seriously?? Mom and pops dont do this. is this a database of ammo buyers? What purpose could this possibly serve? I told him to keep it and will buy elsewhere. Anyone else care to shed some light on this??
Thoaght that was '86 with FOPA. And that the requierment came to us with GCA 68.Before 1984 it was REQUIRED to show ID and have logged in a bound book
10 years ago Wal-Mart wasn't swiping ID or hand-keying DOB in--at least not around here. Up until very recently (past few months?) they only asked if the ammo was for a rifle or a pistol and then, depending on the response, would ask if you were over 18 or 21 respectively.Perhaps the Walmart cashier that asked for ID was too lazy to hand key DOB in.

Before 1984 it was REQUIRED to show ID and have logged in a bound book ANY pistol ammo and ALL .22 ammo. Did the OP not purchase any ammo then?

I remember buying ammo at Three C Sporting goods in Bryan, Texas and having to wait while they logged the ammo in the ammo bound book. FedMart, even Lassiter's Outfitters.
Around here they are checking for age eligibility and if you are a US citizen. Lots of Canadians trying to buy handgun ammo for cheap and sneak it back to Canada free of paperwork.
Maybe where you live but I never heard of that in Washington.84 it was REQUIRED to show ID and have logged in a bound book ANY pistol ammo and ALL .22 ammo. Did the OP not purchase any ammo then?
theres a real chance this is a store manager policy, and not a corporate rule. If you want to make the effort, you can call the market manager (you can get the contact number from any assistant manager), they do consider these complaints, and make changes based on them.It was in NH... a pretty 2A friendly state
The Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 removed that federal requirement for record keeping at least on sales of most sporting ammunition.
