I am active duty army and just recently moved to Mississippi and want to buy this Marlin model 60 at the local walmart.
The guy behind the counter says that he can't sell it to me unless the address I put on the 4473 matches my ID. I never had a problem in KY with my ID address not matching the 4473. I just gave them a copy of my orders.
I know my state of residence for the purpose of the GCA is the state I am stationed in. So if I put my dad's address back in Iowa, to match my ID, I would essentially be lying on the 4473.
The guy at the counter said I could talk to the manager but if it is some Walmart policy it probably wouldn't be worth my time.
Anyone have any thoughts?
I've been to a couple of local shops and they all want to tell me why I shouldn't buy the gun I want. This really turns me off to shopping in their establishments.
And can we please avoid turning this into a walmart bashing thread.
