Re: Outragous - Dicks Sporting Goods
I always decline the Academy request but some merchants have the clerk ask. I believe it was at a Harbor Freight that a cashier asked "Can I have your Zipcode, please?". I replied "Why, don't you have one?" I thought I was clever and hilarious, but she was only mildly amused.Abraham wrote:Teamless ,
The Academy I go to has dropped the zip code question, but back when they did I'd always cheerfully respond with "Make One Up" and the cashier would usually smile and do just that.
When asked for my phone number by a retailer, I've started responding with "Hey, I'm married"!

Re: Outragous - Dicks Sporting Goods
I don't think anyone wants illegal aliens buying ammunition. I'm not sure Dick's policy would really prevent that, but it's the way they have chosen to do it. The clerk at least called the manager who unsuccessfully attempted to help by pass the requirement, so give him credit for that. The Dick's near me which opened just a few months ago and doesn't carry firearms at all. Instead they have an attached Field and Stream store that does carry firearms, including AR-15's. Whether corporate cowardice or smart business practice I leave to you to decide and also to choose whether to shop at Dick's.
When the GCA of 1968 was passed one of the requirements to purchase pistol ammunition was presenting a drivers license. I was a large chain store sporting goods department manager at that time. Besides presenting a valid DL every sale had to be recorded in log books with name, address, type and quantity of ammo in addition to recording the driver's number of the purchaser. My memory is that a signature was also required, but I'm old. BTW, All .22 rimfire ammunition was considered pistol ammo. I took plenty of derisive commentary for following a policy I had nothing to do with. I thought it was a stupid, ineffective law, but it was a requirement to follow it. Berating the clerk for adhering to a store policy and making a scene is not something I would do. Whether or not your actions reflect on our "cause", I know not, but I remember what I thought of some of those irate customers.
