So in other words, they probably wouldn't have sold it to me after I told them it was none of their concern. Is there a legal requirement for vendors to ask these types of questions?viking1000 wrote:I had a incident at BASS PRO SHOP , I was looking for two ponds of GOEX black powder, I like making black powder cartridges in 44 Colt, 44 Russian, 45 and 45-90..

Then he said any other answer and we would not sell it to you .

Re: Academy and Buying Ammo and carded?
From my experience, it has ranged from 30 minutes to an hour at Academy. I don't think I have ever hit the 10 minute mark, but some places are better than others, and Academy can tend to be on the longer side.cbunt1 wrote:As for Academy pulling AR's from the shelves, I can't vouch for them actually being "pulled" at the one in the Willowbrook area of Houston, BUT I can certainly vouch for the fact that there were none actually on the shelves. The long-gun racks were indeed full though.
That said, the $499 AR they advertised on Sunday was indeed available, and I just bought the last one at that store...
It's worth noting that my box is labeled "Display" leading me to wonder if this rifle had been on the shelf before the hullabaloo.
They're available though, and they're honoring the price whether they're actually on the display shelf or not. I did see a few other "evil black guns" on the shelves, and I was in a bit of a hurry, so I didn't pay too much attention to what they had in inventory.
On a slightly different note, had I not watched him make a gun sale just prior to mine, I would have thought it was the first time in his life he'd ever seen a form 4473, and he couldn't seem to break from his sales pitch/process to just sell the darn gun!
It took over an hour from "I want xyx" to walking out the door...should have been a 10 minute transaction, including filling out the 4473.
I can confirm that the Bunker Hill store in Houston had all of the "evil" rifles pulled off the shelves when I stopped by yesterday. Ammo was interesting. They had pulled some .223 and 5.56 off the shelves, but left other ammo in those same calibers on the shelf. Very strange.
