Hammond Walmart- Asked for LTCH While Buying Ammo

[Somemedic]

Found some .223 at the beautiful Hammond Wallyworld yesterdayand decided to grab it.

I didn't wish to deal with Zirhira, an employee with an attitude so they shipped me off to electronics. Whi le making the purchase its customary for the employee to view your ID since the company policy isn't to sell to Illinois residents. So I showed the man my DL to which he states " I gotta see your carry license"

"Uh, no you do not."

He looks down and sees my openly carried glock and hears me state "I wanna see your manager". Guess he figured I was legal and rang me up. Kinda figures, there's no "NASA" sign out front...

 

[Kirk Freeman]

NASA signs? Is that a Texas reference?

The Hammond Walmart is one sketchy place. I steer clear whenever possible. Though I have checked them out for ammo when I'm working in the area. Might want to avoid from now on!

So he wanted to see your license to carry a handgun in order for you to purchase what is generally considered rifle ammunition? Very interesting.

I'm guessing meaning that we are not dealing with rocket scientists working the counter at WalMart.

Sounds like a call to Management, is in ORDER .....

I was wondering that too. Maybe in the few times he's been there she gave him some "'tude," during a prior encounter.

Wal-Mart employees aren't known for their deep knowledge of company policy.

I had an expired DL, so I also carried my federally issued passport ID. I've had them give me guff and tell me they can't accept it. A quick internal phone call to the manager has corrected their assumption, allowing me to purchase my ammo and be on my way.

People are always going to make up rules out of fear of doing something wrong or to advance their own agendas. Just like the girl at the office supply store who won't copy your LTCH because she has been told it is against the law.

 

[jrogers]

I'd be shocked if most of the time it wasn't the former. Less a desire to oppress gun owners than fear of screwing up and ending up unemployed.

Walllllllllll-Marrrrrrrrrrrrt has done well for itself with the Schetzstaffel watching the sheeple in their Wal Vest's mind the shops and take such good care of the "customers". Now that most have been trained to go to "the store" and we have "the affordable health care" program getting into place and everyone eventually will just get use to it. I think its almost time to introduce "the affordable car" for all in America. Possibly a rear engine air cooled unit that is dependable and low cost. Didn't "the government" bail out a couple of automobile companies a few years ago ? The names escape me now. Guess it is once again time to retire to the cave and remanufacture projectiles while Bert calls me a Troll. Be careful in that big parking lot folks.

Yeah went to a preachers conference with my pastor in Hammond a few weeks back. First time up there. Before we got out of the car, he turns and asks if everyone was packing lol.

 

[Mr. Habib]

What do you mean its company policy not to sell ammo to Illinois residents?

I think this is what they mean.
Illinois residents must have a FOID to buy ammo. Many of the Wal Marts near the border ask for ID to be sure that you are an Indiana resident.

Correct and if they see an IL DL then the employee will ask for the customer's IL FOID card. If they don't have it they will not complete the sale.
