Asked to present an ID

I am in my sixty's, yet ask for a birth year when buying a knife, ammo, etc.

Usually the cash register requires that field to be entered to complete the transaction. Smart clerks will enter a year without asking, where others with less experience will ask because of how they were taught.

States each have their own laws and regulations regarding purchases of different items. Even online stores have you read and check a disclaimer for purchases controlled for age reasons.

Dicks does get my business, or Field and Stream. When Dicks claimed to destroy AR style guns, actually they were transferring to the F&S stores.

Have a link to that? Because I sure see a lot of other links saying otherwise.

No link, was at a F&S in Michigan, looking at a Black rifle, the case on the counter reflected delivery to Dick's, and told it was just received from Dicks, that was when I 1st learned the two were the same.

And to clarify my previous post, I do NOT do any business with either franchise, no matter how good of a deal.

The closest Dick's to me is in Moorpark, CA, and was originally Chick's Sporting Goods. I still chuckle to myself when I drink by it, thinking Chick's with Dick's.

There used to be more knives at the local one, but the selection is kinda meh.

I was asked for ID when I bought a butane lighter at the grocery store, the extended type for lighting candles. I had to ask a couple of times what she said, it was that bizarre. I have some gray in my beard too, it's not unobvious that I'm old enough to buy anydamnedthing.
