ID now required for Cabelas ammo purchases!

YOU SHUT YOUR FACE!!!!

.... 50 ain't old

Damn straight. And as soon as I put down the prunes and pick up my cane, I'm gonna waddle over to Elmer's, order dinner at 4:30, and contemplate prostate issues.
Anybody have some Depends I can borrow? Though you might not want them back...

 

[OLDNEWBIE]

It would be quite an elaborate scheme but being it's Halloween time.......
Older teen, grey wig, apply some high quality old lady/man wrinkly make up and presto! Walk out of the shop with a 6pack and some cigs!
I'm afraid if I owned a business I'd require I.D. on everyone I didn't know well. Who needs to be sued for all you have later down the road if a minor DUI crashes?? Ammo as well.

If Cabela's is doing more than just checking D.O.B. on every customer then it's a problem for me though!
If they are recording DL#s I mean.

 

[OLDNEWBIE]

BTW I almost always use a Cabelas credit card, (points you know!) so they know all about my habits anyway.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR WALLET?

 

[Stomper]

Well Ol'Newb.... If say.... Your current gas mask wearin' avatar walked into MY business lookin' to purchase "adult" items, your ID better be wearin' a gas mask.

It's a medical condition! The American's with Disabilities Act protects me against mask bigots like you!

I've said it before... I'm not a biggot, I hate everyone equally.

Never been carded at Cabelas, they better not start, either

< Why they don't have school shootings in Israel.
Notice the long gun slung over the teachers shoulder?

As a matter of fact. I walked out of a Walmart for that very thing and left the beer and woine on the counter. I am 68.
The sign states that anyone that looks under 40 will be carded.
They and the rest of the idiots can screwthemsleves. Including Cabellas. They have an attitude there anyway.
And the BS they pulled on member on the grand opening was pure BS.

Here in Vancouver the signs say they check ID for ALL purchases of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. And they do!! We bought 4 - $1 bottles of wine, maybe 8 oz total and they carded me. I'll be 68 in Jan and I look it!

I bought some this afternoon at Disk's, and they ask for ID as well. Is there some new regulation started?

Actually I don't mind much, since I am new to firearms. I can see this could be a sore point for people used to the old way.

It is the idiocy I won't accommodate. Safeway, Albertsons, Freddies has good enough prices for me. I don't need walmarts ignorant bs.

Which was?

 

[david58]

They may have to cya but that doesn't mean I have to do business there.

 

[timac]

This is why I stick to Gunshows and Local gun shops. Plus I by cheap and stack it deep.

 

[U201491]

Which was?

Not all the sale signs were up on the pre opening day for established members.
They said they were not getting any rimfire, nor that they had any on the pre grand opening day.
Then on the day of grand opening they pulled it out for the new people.
Also they did not offer the gift cards to established customers, but they did to new ones the next day. They should have let old time customers know that ahead of time. We would have waited a day to go there.
I found out and complained to them, and a mgr went back and brought out a brick each of 525 for my wife and I. That was an unethical practice in my mind. They had plenty in backstock and only used it as a come on for an hr or two in the AM.
They still do that.
I can see limits, but the withholding like that is BS and lying to established customers in favor of new customers was BS.

I'm guessing the policy is in place to keep 15 yr olds from purchasing ammo to shoot up school cafeterias. I have no problem showing ID for other things; to me this is just another one of those things. Back when I used to smoke cigarettes I remember there being a sign that read "we card everyone" Fine by me. Buy a firearm from an FFL dealer and there is more info than your DOB to worry about on that form. Unless Cabelas wanted to make a copy or hand write info down; I wouldn't worry about it. I'm actually glad that they are making an effort to keep ammo out of the hands of children.

When they ask a 68 yr old for ID to show they are over 18 or even 21, that shows me that they are ignorant enough that I cannot trust them with my money, or my food, or my beverages. There is a certain amount of ignorance there that goes beyond the dumb farm.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity

I'm sure that it is company policy and a condition of their employment to follow procedure and not so much ignorance.

Yes there is a breaking point of the age dumbness. These stores are beyond the dumbness scale.
I put salt on things that have more intellect.
Can you tell this topic is a Pizz me off spot? LOL
