I went into Wal-mart today to buy some bulk .22lr to go plinking. When the guy was ringing it up he asked me if it was for a pistol or a rifle. I thought I didn't hear him right so I said "What?" He said that he needed to know if it was for a pistol or rifle & if I didn't answer the question, he couldn't sell it to me because he needed to check pistol or rifle in the computer. I asked why Wal-mart needed to know if I was buying ammo for a pistol or a rifle & he said it was to keep track of how many people own pistols & it's not Wal-mart that needs to know.
I understand that I didn't give him my name or anything in this purchase & I paid with cash but it kinda makes me wonder what the hell is going on here? Has anyone else been asked this question when buying .22's from Wal-mart? What's your guys take on this?
