Reason 95 to hate walmart

[swampbuck]

I was down at the lease this past weekend. I ran to the sandersville GA walmart to pick up a few provisions. While there I decided to grab another box of 308.
It's my fault I did not specify what grain bullet.. They handed me 180s.
I did not look.. I assumed they were 150s.. I mean who shoots 180s on whitetail deer.. I just don't like the 180s you get much better bullet performance with 150s on deer sized game.

Got back to camp oh crap wrong bullets so back to walmart.. It went like this

me "I would like to exchange these for another box same caliber just different weight"

WM " I am sorry sir we do not take returns on ammo it's a state law"

me "BS I just want to swap not return"

WM "I am sorry sir it's a state law"

me " I don't think that is a state law, might be store policy"

WM " No sir it's a state law"

me "BS'

And I left.. I don't think it's a state law. I have exchanged ammo other places before..

Don't know why I go in that place.. It's sad in some rural areas they are the only show in town.

I dont know if it is law or not, but we dont swap or give refunds at Murfreesboro Outdoors either. I have been told it is the law, so that is what I repeat when asked.

From the research I did, it is stated that the ATF lets the dealer make the choice, but the ammo has to be destroyed once returned. This is because someone could return something dangerous, as in hot reloads or the wrong ammunition altogether.

That might be true about returning the reloads.. I did a little research and could not find a law.. So how about a little common sense the box was still sealed..

Where would we be if the law starts making provision for common sense?

If common sense was a issue, we wouldn't have any law makers..

If there was more common sense there wouldn't be any need for laws.....
