Booga, I agree, its lawyer speak. If you purchase a several different types of "pistol" ammo, they will work in certain carbines (rifles). Not picking on you, but these wally world lawyers are total morons. I like wolfhunters answers to the wally world machine. "yes".The reason is because of some state laws. In some, you can own a rifle under 21 years of age, but not a hand gun.
Since .22lr is usable in both rifles and hand guns, they ask to determine age requirements.
If it's for a hand gun, the next question is "Are you over 21" or "May I see your ID for age verification?"
It's done as a way to reduce liability by preventing sales of ammo for a gun the customer shouldn't have.
I was asked the same question at Wally World here in Atlanta. The explanation was "we can only sell six boxes of ammo for handguns" I was buying .22 so I said it was for a rifle. The clerk had to enter "yes" for each box. I could buy as much as I wanted then, go figure!?
What is the legal age to purchase ammunition?
Virginia law does not address age requirements for the purchase of ammunition. Federal law requires an individual to be at least 21 years of age to purchase handgun ammunition, and at least 18 years old to purchase rifle or shotgun ammunition.
Yep~~ They (Walmart in NY) required seeing my pistol permit and driver's license last week on a 9mm ammo purchase (I'm 58, bald & gray haired), so I walked out and went to our local wholesaler. No paper work required at all. Should have gone there in the first place~ So it's a Walmart policy I'd guess
