I took a pair of coveralls I ordered on line that didn't fit back to their Lexington Ky. store. While I was there I got two boxes of Win. long beard turkey shells. Laid what I bought on the check out and when the clerk got to the shotgun shells he ask for my driver license. So I ask him if I looked under 18 years old I said I'm 72 years old. He said they have been checking license on ammo since the middle of Sept. On the way to SD. at Mitchell in the middle of Oct. at their Cabela's I bought serval boxes of ammo and was not asked for drivers license. Is this another company that has started customer harassment? Has anyone on here been asked for their driver license on ammo purchase at Cabela's that don't look under 18?

I bought a couple pounds of powder, some bullets, 100 round balls, and some muzzle loader caps Sunday at Cabela's in kansas City. They just rang it up.

They ask for my phone #...I say no, thanks anyway.....they say it is to track where the customers live....I say that is done by zip code.
They look at me confused so I guess everyone just gives them the info they want.....sheep city.

I get asked for ID occasionally when buying ammo/alcohol. It depends on my mood whether I: - Explain how stupid they are
- Explain how stupid their boss thinks they are by not trusting their judgement
- Suggest they become sexually abused
- Just walk out
One guy, in a liquor store told me "It's the law". He couldn't explain why I could have gotten away with hundreds of purchases without ever being asked. One young chick didn't quite get it when I said "I'll show you mine if you show me yours".

I work at bass pro which y'all know owns cabelas now and yes, probably some new employee who is just following instructions or one that doesn't wanna get yelled at. They get just as tired of asking customers for ID as you do getting asked. In the several times that I have cashiered (that's not my reg position), we're required to ask you if you have a rewards card, want to sign up for a credit card, ID for ammo purchase, get a phone #, email address and maybe zip lol yeah I have been cussed out by customers buying a soda having to jump through all those hoops. Got to a point if they did throw me on a register I'd skip all that bull crap lol

To the op. I found myself with my Dad down in the south (TN). It was about 13 years ago. We stopped at a grocery store to get some fixens and beer. Dad decided that he was paying for everything. When the cute little girl rang up the beer she asked for ID. I started reaching for mine when she said she needed my Dads. Turns out whenever you by booz there you need to show ID.

Many of the newer POS (point of sale) registers [/b]will not [b] complete the transaction until they scan an ID. If they skip this step then they cannot complete the transaction. I set up our older cheap register at our store that requires a DOB to be entered for tobacco and alcohol. The fines for underage are not worth it and we could loose our lottery license, and tobacco, alcohol license too.

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

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.

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.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

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.

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.

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 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.
