@HumbleGirl Hell no but unfortunately they buy off the streets. Maybe that is why the salesman did not want to help me. Oh well .

I was there yesterday with my two sons. They were in heaven and I walked out a few hundred dollars lighter in my wallet. LOLNext weekend we are hitting their 'Field and Steam' store.

So where is Dick's? I thought it was near Costco but I didn't see it.

@ladybeachbum At Deerbrook Mall.

@West-Tex It is actually in the Mall? I drove past the Mall and wondered why people were in my way trying to go to Pappasito's!

You know they have redone Gulfgate Mall and Baybrook with the redo of 45. Now, how you get to all those stores might be a puzzle. I hope this means Deerbrook will be more secure and have more nice stores.

Found this:"18 USC 922 (d) It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or otherwise
dispose of any firearm or ammunition to any person knowing or
having reasonable cause to believe that such person –(5) who, being an alien –
(A) is illegally or unlawfully in the United States;"Covering their liability.

I'm glad they're asking these questions if you're purchasing ammo or firearms! I'm glad they'll stop the sale if you can't prove your citizenship! I'm sick of how we as US citizens have to bend over backwards to those that are not US citizens. I'm tired of people coming to the USofA and trying to change everything to fit like where they came from! Press 1 for English is ********, you want to live in this great country then learn to speak like you live here. We shouldn't have to change, you should!!!! If you don't like the way it is here then get your butt on back where you came from. IMO ONLY

But are they asking everyone who tries to buy a firearm or ammo, or just randomly? And are they asking for proof of citizenship or just taking the verbal "yes" at face value? How do you prove citizenship if you're a citizen? I don't recall anything on my drivers license stating I'm a US Citizen. Doesn't seem like too much of a rock-solid effort to me.

@brightlights I was wondering the same thing? Do we need a birth certificate? Maybe we should.

@ladybeachbumNot a bad idea...maybe like a small laminated one you carry around with you like your DL?Hmmm.

@brightlights Or maybe our DL should have it on there?

@Cleaner
Maybe it's because you were purchasing ammo? Do you have a last name not usually used in America?

@TheCatsMeow :See, this is where that slippery slope comes into play. Even if he did, wouldn't that technically be treading on the dreaded "profiling" thing?

@brightlights
Yea. I know. But they should be asking the same if everyone purchasing. Heck, just to get a duck stamp I had to be wanded and searched! 😂😂😂
