What I remembered as "exclusively" was actually "suitable for use only in a handgun". There's a mighty short list of ammo that fits in that category.<br /><br />http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/44/922<br /><br />(x)(1) It shall be unlawful for a person to sell, deliver, or<br />otherwise transfer to a person who the transferor knows or has<br />reasonable cause to believe is a juvenile -<br />(A) a handgun; or<br />(B) ammunition that is suitable for use only in a handgun.<br />(2) It shall be unlawful for any person who is a juvenile to<br />knowingly possess -<br />(A) a handgun; or<br />(B) ammunition that is suitable for use only in a handgun.Laughingdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788824586959334168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764012408379457724.post-52285013796674696502011-01-03T00:01:55.967-05:002011-01-03T00:01:55.967-05:00Go read the law again Tam.

It's against federal law for a licensed firearms dealer to sell ammunition that is used <b>exclusively</b> in handguns to anyone under 21.<br /><br />So I'm not sure that law even applies to a Walmart if they only carry ammo, but no actual firearms.Laughingdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788824586959334168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764012408379457724.post-82874188590451745382011-01-01T10:50:51.924-05:002011-01-01T10:50:51.924-05:00When I was (unfortunately) living in Illinois a de...When I was (unfortunately) living in Illinois a decade ago, I stopped in a Wisconsin Wallyworld and they sold bullets like any ordinary product. A pallet full of .22LR four feet high. No Illinois FOID needed, no drivers lic, no body cavity search, no questions asked. I moved there shortly thereafter. (Full disclosure- not because I was smart, it was to stay employed. Then the company laid off everyone and moved to Florida. Where they promptly got clobbered by a hurricane.

They don't want to get fined or have their store shut down by BATFE because some minimum wage cashier didn't ask you if it was for a rifle or a handgun.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.com
