Stopped at Wal-mart the other night,after work(it was feline related.my furry kids were in dire need of kitty litter and cat food,and wal-mart has the best prices in town)So,got 75 pounds of kitty litter,and three cases of salmon flavored cat food(the only kind they'll eat.they're SPOILED varmints,they are).Well,figured,as long as I was there,and with a few extra bucks in my pocket,I'd look around a bit.Well,I swung through sporting goods,and saw that they had bricks of .22 caliber ammunition on sale,for 10 bucks.For those not familiar with firearms,a "brick" is a package containing 10 smaller boxes of shells,or a total of 500 rounds.Well,these were bonus packs,containing 11 boxes,or a total of 550 rounds.It was a good deal,so I picked one up.
Well,I headed to the checkout,and began to get my order rung up.Now apparently,Wal-mart has a corporate policy of asking,when someone is buying ammunition,wether it is for a handgun or not.I patiently explained to her that a .22 could be fired from either a rifle or pistol.Well,then she got downright rude,DEMANDING to know what I planned to fire it out of.I explained to her,again,how it could be fired from either-and just to be a smart ass,also told her that the Chicago police and the Isreali special forces have submachine guns that will chamber it.She still was demanding to know which type of firearm I planned to use it in.
Starting to reach critical mass here......lady,I'm 46 years old,a three time combat veteran-and I'm tired from work and not in any type of mood to justify to some snot nosed twenty something clerk at Wal-mart just which of my personal firearms I plan to use this particular batch of ammo in.So cram it.I've explained to you what types of guns this will chamber in.Do what you like with that information,but sell me my fucking ammo.
She got a bit pissy at that point.Too bad.I'm not putting up with it.
