Recently I have seen some posts on the net about store policies on sales of
firearms,( a Dunhams store was the prime subject ). This goes back aways but please bear with me, In the very early 70's I was in the U S Navy, Homeport San Diego, Ca. I was the Enlisted supervisor of the Security Force for my ship, I carried on my person at all times authorization from the U S Navy to carry a weapon off the ship at all times, ( Navy issue .45 or my personal 9MM ). I was also authorized to have an M-60 MG. as a member of the Landing Force.
A friend from the ship and I went to a Big 5 store one day because they had M-1 Carbines on sale for $99. My friend had a Ca. drivers license, I had Ohio license, plus Navy ID. Big 5 would not sell me a carbine because I didn't have Ca. residence, ( had been stationed there for 5 years at that time ),
Ca. law considered me a resident because I was stationed there.
The clerk sold my friend 2 carbines without question, to the point of this I have recently seen posts of Dunhams employees refusing sales to people because " you have bought too many firearms here ", When did store policy come to over rule the law?
