.....please do not pull it out, lay it on the counter at the sporting goods department, and ask the girl who is taking English classes to earn her U.S. Citizenship that you want ammunition for it.

Thank you.

John (yes, this really happened at my store).

    Can't beat stupid, it'll get you every time. The worst part is that the clerk probably didn't know either!

    Totally legal to open carry, or ccw w/license in a Wal-Mart here in Louisiana.
    If you are asked to leave, do so immediately. To not comply on private property is a crime.

    could have been a weird gun and the guy wasnt sure. could have also been new to guns and just wanted ammo to plink with who knows. what i find disturbing is walmart is hiring no leagals that are taking english classes. How about we wait at least untill there leagal before hiring them.

    And putting them in SPORTING GOODS? DUH.

    Put them in footwear where the shoes have sizes in a few languages.

    Or electronics where the product was probably made by a cousin.

    if you do not know the right ammo for your firearm, go to a gunsmith and have him check it for you. if you are going to trust a clerk at walmart to know, when you don,t you may not realy need ammo. eastbank.

    So far as carrying a gun into wal-mart, I totally support it. Wal mart, airports, the park, anywhere. What part of 'shall not be infringed' don't you understand?

    So far as not knowing the caliber of his weapon, if that's the case, then yes, the man is an idiot.

    However I have found that some experts become so 'expert' that they assume everyone else knows what they are talking about. You or I see a Ruger Mk2 we'll instantly know, .22 LR (for instance). He might have REASONABLY assumed that if a distinctive and common piece with clearly stamped ammo requirements, that a SPORTING GOODS clerk would know his (this case her) job and provide the proper ammo.

    Regarding learning English- I agree she shouldn't have been on the sales floor yet; however who says she is an illegal? She's got a job on the books, not under the table, is paying her taxes (presumably if she works at wal-mart) and is taking classes in English- which I applaud her for! Not her fault that the store manager put her there. Works? Came here legally? Working toward her citizenship officially? Learning the language? Sounds like the makings of a great American to me, the poster child for 'how immigrants SHOULD do it'.

    How do you not know what caliber a gun is, when every gun has it on there for you to see? And even if you don't see that, you first probably saw it when you looked at the price tag at the store, saw it again when the FFL brought the box out, when he wrote the caliber down while filling out the FFL, while opening the box and looking at the gun, while reading the manual which clearly states what caliber it is. I'm tired now.

    You should not own firearms. That is an ig'nant statement. Bet you I can produce a few firearms out of my collection (if I owned firearms) that you would not know the calibre, would not be able to find an "owners manual" and have probably never had a 4473 filled out on them. You probably would not be able to guess the cailbre either.

    Don't worry, all mine are at the bottom of a lake right now. But of the ones I did have, all of them had calibers on them, whether they were brand new or whether they were from WW2. I think my oldest was made in 1938 or so, so I will say that there may be some guns made before that time that did not have calibers on them. But I don't suppose someone would bring a gun made in 1900 into a Walmart and ask what caliber it is. But then again.

    i repeat if you have a firearm and you don,t know what shells it takes or fires, take it to a gun smith, not to a pimple faced clerk at wally world or k-mart. this has nothing to do with the second admendment or your right to own a firearm. it,s just plain common sense. this is just what we don,t need, scaring the beejesus out of some uninformed clerk. eastbank.
