Same with Cabelas and Bass Pro. I tend to give my gun buying business to smaller gun stores, so it is never really an issue for me.Kevinf2349 wrote:On a total side issue...does anyone know why Academy will only turn over a firearm to the purchaser when they get outside of the building?
That happened to me recently. I bought a .22 Marlin rifle at Academy. Gave them my CHL so that I would not have to go through the BG check and was carrying at the time. The lady who sold me the gun had to carry the rifle all the way to the front door at gave me the rifle outside the door. She knew I was carrying, but still had to carry the rifle outside. I was laughing my ass off.gwashorn wrote:I have to laugh as I have bought lots of ammo at the Academy in Webster and a couple of guns recently. Ammo, I just took to the register. The guns they walked it to the register, then they copy the receipt for their files and hand me the gun OUTSIDE of the OUTSIDE door.... with a smile and all the time I am carrying. Different stores many times interpret their own internal policies differently. I suspect the managers of each store take the corporate policy and apply their own level of comfort of responsibility and act out the levels we each have noticed.

That's funny. They drove me home and cooked my dinner.Liberty wrote:I've bought in the Webster store and they escorted me all the to the car. Service with a smile.
At my local Academy, the clerk explained to me that there was no need to have a store employee walk ammo purchases less than $50. Over $50, yes.USA1 wrote:this is straying off the topic slightly but ,
the last couple of times i purchased ammo at Academy , i was walked to the register with it .
i guess they may have had issues with theft . maybe people were putting it in their pocket before
getting to the register .
No, no, no...that litte bag is like a trigger lock, it stops you from firing the gun in the store doesn't it? Like WalMart stapling the carrier bag with the ammo in, obviously that is so you have to go home to the tool bench before you can get into it.lonewolf wrote:I can picture that. A little bag taped over the end, just so the door guy doesn't stop you to make sure you paid for it. At the local Kroger that I patronize, they put little stickers on the things that they don't bag.

But can you actually make an ammo purchase UNDER $50.... I know that I can't!RiverCity.45 wrote:At my local Academy, the clerk explained to me that there was no need to have a store employee walk ammo purchases less than $50. Over $50, yes.
