Wallmart Ammunition

[DZirena]

Hi guys,

Yesterday I bought 60 dollars worth of ammunition (12 gauge) from my local wall-mart. I am not an avid shooter so i asked the guy to give me ammo for the range. After paying for the ammo, the range guy doesn't allow me to use that ammo because the guy gave me the wrong kind. Long story short, wall-mart will not refund or even exchange the ammo due to "federal law"

Is this really federal law? and if it isn't, how do i prove it? I found a lot of forums saying that it isn't federal law. However I don't want to use a forum to state my case.

Thanks

Federal law or not, they're not legally required to give you a refund because you bought the wrong product. "For the range" can mean several different things - did you practice due diligence and call the range to find out what ammo was needed?

I understand. However, my question was not whether or not they're required to provide me with a refund/exchange.

I'm simply asking if it is actually law, and if it isn't, how to prove it.

And to answer your question, yes, i called the place. I specified (for no specific reason) exactly which range I was going to, and I read the box which said it was meant for target practice.

You can't prove a negative.

So you called the range, and the range instructor/owner told you exactly which ammo you needed, yes? And then you took this info to Walmart and repeated it verbatim?

It really doesn't matter (I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish). Walmart's policy on ammunition is well known and well-advertised. All sales are final - period.

You're pretty much misunderstanding everything.

I already spoke to the store manager and he said its ok. Im getting my money back. So i guess all sales aren't final - period.

I also think you're highly overestimating the range. A gun range isn't a classy 5 star hotel. Hell, the guy who picked up the phone initiated the conversation with a, "Yo."

When I asked him what ammo to take, he didn't say "12 gauge, 2 3/4 inches, 3 3/4 DR EQ. 1 1/4 oz, 7 1/2 lead shot." He just said, " 12 gauge. Any box that says its for skeet."

When I got to wall-mart, I told the guy "12 gauge, no brand in general, as long as it says skeet"

Anyway, all I wanted to know was whether or not its law, and how to prove it.

So far you've half-assed one question.

And just in case the point is missed again: I ONLY WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS ACTUALLY FEDERAL LAW

By all means, feel free to pay an attorney to take your attitude, junior.

Or use Google. It's a search engine. On the Interwebz.

Good for you.

What does it matter? You claim you are getting your money back, so it's a moot point. So y'all can take your "half-assed" attitude and skeedaddle now.

Good for you.

Oh, they're probably lying to try to make their point. (Like that NEVER happens around here )

Lets see here. Where to start...

Here we go:

Its been a few years since ive taken it, but i remember the SAT used to require the basic ability to respond the questions stated and not the background info. The SAT is a testz, given in the skoolz. Yea....

Secondly, a lot can happen in 45 minutes. (i.e. your mom losing her virginity to your dad, probably out of sheer desperation, resulting in a little you in the baby oven) However, in this case, I simply dialed the number listed under the photo of a man entitled "store manager"

Lastly, use some context clues big guy. Purchasing of Ammunition = 18 or older. Ill leave the, "older," part for your imagination.

Ironic, given the name of the poster to whom this was directed.

And now I'm quietly giggling to myself.

Since this is a gun thread and all, here's a bit of trivia.

I received my permit to carry a concealed weapon before I received my permanent green card. Legally, too. All in accordance with the law.

Someone might want to call OP's house and make sure he's alright. I'm sure that just blew his little mind
