Fishy stuff at walmart?

[cg21]

So I was in walmart stalking the gun case (got lucky on my way to work and scored some ammo) Anyways that is besides the point the older man who cashed me out told me homeland security was in there 10minutes before me asking if any people have been making "significant" ammo purchases???




Anyone else hear of this?

It would be pretty difficult to make a significant ammo purchase with the 3 box limit!

 

[cg21]

thats what he told them he said... they have no ammo for anyone to come in and do that. I just found this odd and disturbing all at once.

I wouldn't doubt it at all. That's why I use cash over plastic or paper check at EVERY store I might buy at. Make 'em work to ID you by watching store video. Whenever I'm asked for my phone number at the checkout I give 'em a local government number. My purchases are for legal and safe personal use and the money I spend after my taxes are paid was earned legally.

The Walmart I go to does not ID me for my ammo purchases... Enough gray to confirm, I'm over 21.

Since I pay cash, don't ID, how would they answer that question?

I call BS

Probably a scare tactic to get some people to stop buying ammo for awhile to get the stock back up.

That is pretty laughable, I want to know where in this state there is enough ammo to make a "significant purchase". For that matter, where can a guy make a purchase of any ammo, unless its .32 S&W, or .41 Colt. Ammo of just about any even remotely common caliber has been all but nonexistent for a few months now.

Sales clerk is having a good laugh.
Or is an anti-gunner, trying to scare the gunners.

 

[Bang-bang]

BS!

 

[ashby koss]

Do the angles help hide you by refracting the signals?...rather like stealth bombers? Tin hat technology advancing!

 

[churchmouse]

Looking for those who flip on the interwebs.........

Or he was full of POOP

 

[wellsmichael07]

If the clerk did make up the story that is a heck of one. HaHa

 

[OneShotFOGE]

The clerk should have told the guy that he heard the HSA made a rather significant ammo purchase recently.

 

[drillsgt]

Apparently we have little to fear from these homeland security clowns if they are that out of touch and clueless, probably just looking for an excuse to get out of the office.

Could be some TSA agent bought some stuff, asked the question, got a funny look and identified himself as DHS

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it OP.

BS

The guy was jerking your chain.

 

[brute69]

Common sense would indicate if no one has ammo EVERYONE is making significant purchases, (as significant as possible with limits).

I just tell them that it is unlisted. No more questions.

Maybe not over this, but anytime you have a Gov't agency that has the power that TSA does, it is pause for concern.

And then we have stuff like this:
TSA Allowed at Least 11 Airport Employees With Criminal Backgrounds To Receive Security Badges

And:
TSA screeners allow fed agent with fake bomb to pass through security at Newark Airport


EXCLUSIVE: TSA screeners allow fed agent with fake bomb to pass through security at Newark Airport - NYPOST.com

Really instills confidence don't it? I think there are numerous reasons to be concerned about the TSA.
