Bass pro has been like that from day one. Policy vs actual law
Was LTC’d for a set of dies YEARS ago.
f*** bass pro and cabela’s too
I had not bought from cabelas since they stopped shipping the black powder kits from the catalogs. That was forever ago!
So you're ok being a communist, just as long as it's not inconvenient?I was carded for a brass checker about 2 years ago. Asked for the manager and had a polite conversation. He apologized a million times and said it was policy. Not his fault he’s just following orders. But I thought they stopped it for things like this and just carded for ammo and really nasty stuff. Apparently it’s back. I go there to train my dogs, if I see something that interests me I buy it. 20 minutes from my house and Starbuck across the way! Hard be beat.
It’s like they don’t want real customers, just city slicker looky loos!!I bought a Lee Reloading Book at Bass Pro Shop in Foxboro yesterday and the cashier made me show my LTC. I said “An LTC for what? A book?”. She said, “Yup. Anything gun related now”. Anyone else experience this?
Well, in their defense, did the book have sharp edges?I bought a Lee Reloading Book at Bass Pro Shop in Foxboro yesterday and the cashier made me show my LTC. I said “An LTC for what? A book?”. She said, “Yup. Anything gun related now”. Anyone else experience this?
It had a full metal dust jacket.Well, in their defense, did the book have sharp edges?
This is not a laughing matter. Follow the science! More people die each year from paper cuts than bayonet lugs.It had a full metal dust jacket.
No point in being a Karen about it and wasting more time to prove a point that won't make a damn difference.And you still paid for it after that? I would have at least asked to talk to a manager 1st.
Buying stuff like that at box stores...

That's what Hamas does to their sniper rounds.Also, OP: Don't buy reloading manuals. Just eyeball it. It will be fine.

It's a long con.
The store is hoping that outraged gun owners will flock to them in order to buy books or non "scary" but gun related supplies, expecting to get to the register and then instead of being "carded", she asks for payment. Now you look like an a** if you walk out, instead of them, so there's good odds you grumble and complete the sale. Pretty slick idea, actually.
Or, the chica at the register is an anti and was making up stuff at random to suit her own agenda...
Anyone consider this.....
This may not be an intentional attack on your 2a rights
It's easier to train the low hanging fruit that run registers at big box stores to "ask for ltc on anything gun related" vs. Spend time training them on what actually does and does not require an ltc.
Well, in their defense, did the book have sharp edges?
Full auto, bump stock fingers, rapid page flip assist:And over 10 pages, high capacity book with a folding cover...
There defense is you live in a shitty state. They are doing what is required in your state. Anything that says gun, ammo, etc, they ask for a license. It's not the cashier or managers fault. They are doing what they are told. They could go line by line and allow items to not need to see your license. Why should they? People bitch about going out of state to buy 30 round mags and get carded. What business wants to be the first to get sued by the state of Massachusetts? Some of you say they won't. How do you know? Is anyone here willing to put up $100,000+ to test that theory?Well, in their defense, did the book have sharp edges?
Keep the f***ing book. LaterI bought a Lee Reloading Book at Bass Pro Shop in Foxboro yesterday and the cashier made me show my LTC. I said “An LTC for what? A book?”. She said, “Yup. Anything gun related now”. Anyone else experience this?
As a big box store, it's not up to the cashier. When they scan certain items, the ID check will pop up, and it's not normally within the cashier's power to override.It's easier to train the low hanging fruit that run registers at big box stores to "ask for ltc on anything gun related" vs. Spend time training them on what actually does and does not require an ltc.
Back when Dick's went FR, I remember someone on this forum telling the story of his teenage son being denied purchase of a rifle case as a gift for his father (the poster).Just wait, pretty soon the national chains - Dick's, Bass Pro, Cabela's, etc. will just stop selling anything gun related in Mass - ass - achusetts thanks to their legal departments.
That might actually be state law. In NH, low- or zero-alcohol beer is still a "malt beverage", and is only for sale to 21+. I know, it's ridiculous.Same thing happened to me at a grocery store when i bought a six pack of BUD ZERO. No alcohol in this beer. 0%. Clerk wanted an i.d. I said what for, there's no alcohol in this stuff.
Do I have to show my LTC?I’m feeling extra frisky tonight. PM me your email address, and I’ll send you an electronic version of Hayduke Silencer Book. Oooooooh, the feeling of being an outlaw!
