I agree here ... places like to be excessive ... I often by cheap ammo at my 
local K-Mart for target only and recently they have started asking questions 
for simply the purchase of ammo. Thinks like your name, address and such and 
a short questionair. I said -none of your business- and the girl said
-it won't ring thru without answers- I told here put a big NO on every line 
of couse in fear of the allmighty manager she would not. There were 3 people 
in line aside from myself .. all of use left without anything.
I can understand, but don't agree completly, that on the gun side of things 
they are now -required- to get certain info and make you wait. That is why I 
buy nothing but used stuff anymore. And I have the only receipt for most of 
it.

Gee I would -never- do this ...  ...
