I need to know. Has anybody else been asked, when buying ammo, if it was for a handgun or rifle? My FIL just got back from the panhandle, and was buying some more 22WMR (since it was on sale), and was asked if it was for a rifle or handgun. When he asked why, the helpful elderly woman (who we've known for several years), said that if you tell them the ammo is for a handgun, it costs you more. So, the next time I go to buy 9mm or .40 ammo, it's gonna be for my "custom, single-shot rifle".
Does this sound odd to anybody?

Never been asked what ammo was for. But, I have been limited on the amount I could buy.

not sure why it would cost more. heck, 9mm is covered though. just tell them you have a Colt Camp Carbine. 9mm rifle.
