.22 is still absent from the shelves of Wal-Marts around here (unless you're a good friend of the Sporting Goods department manager, of course). Over the weekend I happened to be in the vicinity of a Dick's Sporting Goods, so I stopped in. To my surprise, they had a variety of .22 LR in stock. I bought a bulk box just to have for a plinking session.
I was more than a bit upset when I checked out, though, because the clerk didn't just check my carry permit to be sure I'm over 18 -- she entered all my personal information into their computer. I don't regularly buy at Dick's, but I have bought there before and I don't remember this. Wal-Mart only does a visual for age if it's handgun ammo.
What's the deal with Dick's? I think I may have just made my last ammo purchase from them.
