A WWII Vet Threatned to Shoot Me Over 22 Ammo

[PistolBob]

A big box retailer.

That doesn't tell me which one to stay away from. A 100 round limit on .22 LR is retarded.

Customers complain when they sell their entire stock to 1 customer.

Customers complain when there's a limit so that more people have a chance to buy some.

If it wasn't for the 100 round limit this old guy wouldn't have been able to buy ammo at three in the afternoon. Without limits it would be gone when the doors opened.

 

[PistolBob]

Like I said...a hundred round limit on 22 LR is retarded. Walmart in Franklin IN will at least let you have FOUR boxes...which is BS too.

 

[BogWalker]

I'd rather have 12 guys with 100 rounds than 1 guy with 1200 rounds. I want as many people in this country armed as possible, and .22 is the best cheap practice their is. No good having firearms if you can't practice in their use.

I seriously hate it when elderly veterans expect you to kisstheir ass because they served. Don't get me wrong, I respect them and don't take anything away from them, but I'm not going to bow at your knees and kiss the ground you walk on because you served...sorry.

I thought the Terre Haute Chik-Fil-A wasn't set to even open until Thursday, let alone be delivering.

Where is it at?

 

[CathyInBlue]

Down south. All the major ammunition sellers are in the same area, so it doesn't really narrow it down any. Of course big box + ammunition = either Gander Mountain or Walmart.

That answer could not have been any less confusing, if you don't know where the Chik-Fil-Ais located you could have just said so.

 

[CathyInBlue]

West of Gander Mountain, South of Walgreen's, North of the Vigo County Fair Grounds, East of the drag strip.

jFED85: You'd never know that most vets, including the elderly, served. I've learned to be more patient with the elderly because I deal with one daily. A little extra time and explanation is usually necessary, especially for someone in their late 80's and older. I'm not trying to make any excuses, but if this vet served in the 101st in WWII, he probably had it pretty rough. There was no counseling or decompression available. Admitting to a problem in adjusting was even more of a stigma than now. There are a lot of vets roaming around with wounds that aren't visible.

Wait!?! Invisible vets or invisible wounds? If we had invisible vets no wonder we kicked Hitlers ass.

At this point I was finished being verbally attacked by a 90 year old a-hole. I asked him if he thought that he deserved special treatment because he involuntarily served in the military during WWII. That shut him up long enough for me to say a few words to a coworker at the door. The coworker told the old guy that the his son served in the military by choice, not by force, and didn't demand special treatment. He asked the old guy why he felt so entitled to a special set of rules.​

That is so cool the way that you two put the old guy in his place

They delivered food to a lot of stores. I imagine they are training their staff before opening.

Sorry, but politeness goes out the window when death threats begin.

Why should age make any difference of when you can be a dick or not? Bet the guy was a total ass when he was young too.

Cabela's has that very same limit as of yesterday. Which is probably why the Cabela's limited edition .22 ammo comes in 500 rd boxes.

 

[churchmouse]

Yeah, he sounds like my dad and grand dad. Both were total A$$ hats like that.

That makes sense. Still have no idea which big box you claim to work at.

What would really be cool is if Sam's Club put in a firearms counter with ammo.
