Dick's won't sell .22LR unless you're 21??

after i got out of basic training in 2007, i purchased a glock 21 from a family friend and i went to buy ammo for it and they said no. at the time i had no clue of the 21 rule. then i thought to myself, "i can serve my country, which i ended up doing 5 months later" but i cant buy .45 ammo. seems to me they need to throw that law out

That they do. I'm not counting on it though... If you have served in our military, I'm pretty darn sure you're mature enough to handle a weapon.

I'd go somewhere else.

Yes sir! I went to Wally World and had no problem. The cashier asked if it was for a handgun, I said no, and that was it. I'll just go there in the future.

You got further than I did, the Dicks in Bloomington wouldn't even send a person over to get it from behind the counter; so I was content to take my business elsewhere.

I feel ya on that one. Lived in bloomington for 4 years and dicks was within walking distance from my apartment. One night I wanted to see just how long I could wait for some help to prove a point to my friend not to buy there. I asked the cashiers to send someone back 3 times and stood back there and was being as obvious as i could.i got someone to ask if they could help me after... wait for it........ 47 minutes! Needless to say being a couple broke college students we sometimes had a lot of extra time on our hands lol. But once i did get a sales associate to ask me if i needed anything i spent the next 30 minutes having him get just about every shotgun down for me to look at lol then left.

My point? Dick's is full of just that... dicks. Unless you have to shop there, go give some local companies your business. Because most of small local businesses care about their customers.
