Da fuq?So my buddy went to Cabela's today to get some Hornady die bushings and he's telling me that they made him show his pistol permit. Has anyone else heard of this?
That is sad to see happening. For now, down here in free America, Cabela's is fine, and has none of that BS here in SC. As for Dick's, they are still around, but I gave up ever shopping there anymore about 10 years ago, and have no regrets about that.Bass Pro/Cabelas is real close to being Dicks Sporting Goods

Same here. This was the first time I've heard of it. I definitely plan on testing it as my permission slip is still in the worksI’m having a hard time with this. I’ve bought a variety of reloading components, tools and other items from cabelas. I was only asked for payment.
ONLY reason for us going in there was the need to pee...well and I had a $50. Gift Card used to buy Wool Socks in the clearance Bin.Bass Pro/Cabelas is real close to being Dicks Sporting Goods

Go full "Ken" on 'em!Hahahaha!
Fuck Cabela's then and their woke shit if this is true!
Should have asked for a manager and explanation! Making sure the manager understood the answer would be published across Firearm Forums and enthusiast web sites!
End of story!
It's why I never purchase ammo from Walmart anymore. Not even shotgun rounds.Its called capitulation. Box stores making up compliance rules to stay in favor.
And I make it clear that I do go elsewhere.It's why I never purchase ammo from Walmart anymore. Not even shotgun rounds.
They were one of the first to declare they were no longer selling pistol ammo, nor 556/223 ammo. They also have gone full brownshirt with any and all NY requirements, and even some that NY hasn't gotten around to yet.
And their employees response when challenged is "if you don't like it go somewhere else".
Larry's Pawn & Gun in Huntsville Alabama has pallets of Rimfire and out perennial NATO Flavors...when Dove Season comes around you can buy all you can afford with nothing more than thank you, y'all come back!And I make it clear that I do go elsewhere.
My son has not put one foot in a Walmart since they announced that they were not selling pistol or 556/223 etc ammo.It's why I never purchase ammo from Walmart anymore. Not even shotgun rounds.

Judging by the mish-mash of ammunition often shown in SP Photos of confiscated Guns, it would seem most of their ammo was dug out of the Trash Barrel at the Range.Some Gang bangers are reloading! .0000000000087% of em.
I recall nothing about reloading components in any passes or even proposed Legislation...trial Balloon?So I stopped by Cabelas in Cheektowaga to buy some small pistol primers. I was too impatient to wait for some ordered offline. And as they ring them up a message popped up on the computer saying to verify pistol license as they will be used for pistol ammunition or something to that variety. The older lady hit ignore and took my money.
So @Holland your friend was definitely right about I’d for reloading supplies.
I was talking with one of the old guys working the firearms counter. He said the management at Cabela’s is terrified of dealing with NYS on anything and they regularly go to them for clarification and advice. I think I’m done with Cabelas.I recall nothing about reloading components in any passes or even proposed Legislation...trial Balloon?
Exactly right. Lawyers and legislators. The liability from manufacturers thru user has a lot of them worried. “Pistol” ammo isn’t defined in NYS law (Ohio does) but to buy pistol ammo you must have a permit. An obscure law that has been there for a long time. Now they (big box stores) are getting ahead of our knowledgeable legislature. Brownells, Natchez, Midway all treat their reloaders well as well as your small local gun storeI was talking with one of the old guys working the firearms counter.
