Apparently now if you buy anything reloading related (Like a Powder Funnel), they want to write down your Date of Birth and Drivers License Number at check out. I asked the clerk why do they need that information, the clerk claimed "Liability".

Really? For a Funnel?

Well I guess I don't need to every shop there again. (Sorry for the rant). Thought I'd try out that store for the first time and since my powder funny is getting a bit worn, I thought I'd get a replacement one. Not giving anyone my drivers license number and DOB unless I"m buying a controlled item (Like a Firearm on a 4473).

Did you ask why? Is it to stop resellers and hoarding. Some stores are trying to ensure everyone gets a little of some supplies.

I talked to an employee there that stated he knew some guys were just there to buy and resell.

In August I was able to buy everything I needed to reload for 9mm because a small store in Oklahoma had limits.

In August I got everything I need to reload as well I just don't remember what year it was so people "hoarding" and "reselling" couldn't bother me one bit.

Agreed, not giving my DL and DOB for anything like that. Academy asks for DOB when buying ammo...guessing because of age laws. I'm not sure I've ever given the same answer.


Pass the gravy.

That must be a new policy as I picked up something handloading related a month ago paid cash and did not provide them with any information when they asked.

You can have my first name and the year, anything beyond that is a no-go, PARTICULARLY if you are keeping a list in a store of 100+ employees. Holy hell people are stupid.

I bought primers from them in December or early January. I didn't have to do any of that.

I have never shopped there but if they ask for that information for anything but a firearm or hunting license then I would just say have fun restocking it and walk away.


lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

I went there previously, last night they started asking, stating it was for liability and new store policy.

I told them either you sell it to me as its not age restricted or I leave. Needless to say I left. I'm never going back.

This is 100% false!!!!

Just called the store.

Too much technology out there(like a telephone) to not valid rumors.

Go try to buy anything reload, they'll ask for you DL at the checkout. I even had a manager last night come over and said the same thing. Need your ID so we can enter it.

I wrote them an Email last night to complain too.

Sometimes you guys talk for three pages without saying a dang thing. I'm guessing THIS is the reason.
