I look at being carded for alcohol and ammo as a pain in the wagon. Just a small moment of time. Maybe it will help save somebody's life. Underage drinking and driving. Had a friends family wife and two children killed by underage drunk driver. I know already against the law,texting and driving and a lot more things also. JMO

Just tell em 867-5309 with your area code. If they are under 30 they probably dont know the song

Im 40 and got carded at tractor supply this week for two cans of purple spray paint, I thought it was weird as well

My seventeen year old son couldn't buy WD40 and starting fluid at Walmart. I don't have a problem with it, but it was a little inconvenient. I should have known and thought about it before I told him to pick some up for me.

I am a holder of a FFL got mine in 1970 when I first got married have had a shop since that time. IT is part time mostly just friends now getting together shooting the bull. I know ATF has not sent me anything about carding customer on ammo purchase. That is what through me a loop yesterday at a sporting store. I hardly buy anything that I can order myself I was there the sell and rebate was close to what I could get for and I would have it. What upset me was there was no information taken he didn't have it in his hand hardly a second I ask what information he got with no answer. That is why I though it was customer harassment now Dicks, Walmart, Cabela's-Bass Pro are my lease favorite places to shop. Done venting see I am not the only one who has trouble being carded and being older than dirt doesn't help.

I believe Mills Fleet Farm cards for ammo Costco for liquor. You've got your wallet out to pay, not a big deal to show your license.

I still remember going to the old Woolworth 5 & 10 store when I was 8, 9 and 10 years old. Every year like clockwork, I would buy my Grand Father a box of Dutchmaster Cigars for his Birthday. They never questioned me , and always sold them to me . Never needed any Proof of Age.

you can now check a persons citizenship form their DL it could be part that.

but more likely they were told check , and they took that to mean check all.


as for the we just ask your DOB I have my Internet DOB and my real DOB I am not lying about my age , but I am not giving out my real info either

once you realize how much info you can get with a name and DOB you will change your internet and liqueur store DOB also.

Tried to buy a can of spray pain because I was refinishing a mower... Wouldn't let me because I am under 21.

Come to Illinois it will happen wherever you buy ammo. If you are a resident you have to have a FOID card to buy it.

Look at a few Meth heads they look three times their age

I had in the very past of at Cablas about my checks with just my name on it. I was told by the one that was checking me out. I told them the place had taken them before.The person was given me a hard time and then said i need to see the manger. Then they show up and I told them what was the problem with my checks you always took them before. She told the person write down his driver lic. info.and tht was the end of it.After that they just ask for the drivers lic, after .then i got there card and just pay it off after I check out.

I wonder who thought up the plan to make cashiers responsible for other peoples kids?

That is funny,lol. I can't stand to go in there anymore.It takes them 20 minutes to do a 5 minute job.

You are right, they track where you live by zip code. Our local Fleet Farm store always asks for your zip code when you check out. When I asked why they wanted to know that? They said they track by zip code to determine where their customers are coming from.

Most of the meth heads I saw looked like their heads caught fire and the person who stamped the fire out was wearing track shoes.

I don't carry my dl in my wallet. It sits in my truck. I also don't normally drive to town, but walk or catch a ride. Hard to show a license in that situation.

Everyone should carry their papers with them. Never know when the gestapo is going to conduct a paper check or when the zit farm cashier will demand it to buy XYZ.

I actually find that a good reason to not carry them. If I'm hunting, I'll carry my hunting license, driving I'll carry my drivers license, etc. If all I am doing is walking to town to do a little shopping, forget it. Quite often I won't even take my wallet, just a little cash.
