Edited to refrase: "Isnt it stupid when cashiers ask you if its for a handgun?" There is no way of them actually knowing and it really doesnt keep ammo out of hands of 18-20 yr olds. I am just kinda baffled that they require it to be 21 in the first place when I can carry(and do) at 18(Im 20).

Not really. The Wal-Marts in my town consider them handgun rounds period.

Is "No pistol ammo for 20's and under" just a wal-mart rule or a state law in your area?

If a law, I don't think I'd be bragging about breaking it on a public gun board.

:P

Im not real sure if its a law or just something that stores do. I read on other boards that it doesnt say for sure that you must be 21 for handgun ammo. However I can log into cabelas and ship and only need to be 18 so I dont know for sure. I was just curious if anybody else knew what it was like in your area?

I'm pretty sure it's a Federal law just like not selling handguns to persons under 21. How's it feel to be wanted by the BATFE? Pretty dumb to brag about breaking a gun law on a gun forum.

Yes it may be dumb but for all anybody knows I do have a Ruger pc4. Basically what Im wanting to know or discuss is that "Isnt it stupid that they even ask "is it for a handgun?". They dont care and there is no waying of them actually knowing. I realize that they can refuse a sale but it seems like it would descrimiate from people with strange caliber rifles.

Your under 21. So what if you have a pistol and a rifle that shoots 9MM? Do you buy the ammo for the rifle making it a legal buy? And if you buy it for the rifle and end up using it in the pistol have you broken a law? Sometimes laws are just plain stupid. Your parents can buy you a pistol at age 18 or any age really. You can shoot one at any age but you can't buy ammo for a pistol legally until your 21. Just another law invented by some people who didn't turn on their brain first. Please stay legal somehow...

Correct. Exactly why I disagre w/ the nra's stance on enforcing ALL current gun laws. These are the very laws we fought against being on the books in the first place.

Yes pretty stupid indeed becuase as I stated I aquired a XD40 through a trade and have my CCW permit. But when it comes to getting ammo I have to find a buyer or buy for my rifle(
