So what happens when someone without an LTC wants to buy the reloading book or case checker?
Manager called over? Over ride button? Sh!t outa luck?
At Cabelas I bought a hand priming tool, and I got carded for an LTC... I just showed it briefly to the guy, and that was enough for him.
Having spent hours talking with Cabela's corporate lawyers (and Emailing them backup data) about MA laws before they opened in MA, it was all an exercise in futility. Don't know if they are still running the show after the BP take-over, but like most lawyers that I dealt with in my 21 yrs as a constable, I'm not impressed. Something about "you can't fix stupid".
It reminds me of when the MA GCA in 1998 took effect and Wal-Mart corporate lawyers put out a memo to all MA stores that they must require an FID for ammo purchases. Clerks were refusing people with LTCs, because the idiot lawyers weren't smart enough to include LTCs in the memo. I read the memo, as some stores posted it on the glass doors to the ammo cabinet.
Lol, well, Len, it also didn't help that for many years IIRC a lot of the Wal-Mart registers probably said some shit like "CHECK FID" on the screen. And a lot of those clerks were
so brain dead they literally only do what the register tells them to do. I still remember a clerk from early 2000s literally picking up my LTC and looking at it again every time the register told him to do it. I think after about the 4th prompt (I was buying like 12 boxes of ammo) the guy was like "wait, this is stupid". It was as if he was expecting it to somehow change or disappear in the last 5 seconds since he scanned the previous box of ammo.... [/QUOTE]
