I didn?t look into it much further, it?s what the cashier said.

Fair enough. Definitely worth investigation for those of us with such scarlet letter addresses.

Sounds like you should just tell them you don?t have an ID and tell them how you feel you are being discriminated against and racially profiled by them requesting to see your ID. Probably won?t help with your purchase but watching them piss themselves as they scramble to figure out how to handle the situation should be fun.

No offense to Nash but this circumstance is bullshit and should be called out right then and there.

Murdochs can set any policy they want and we can politely insist on speaking to management for an explanation.

The implication that they will refuse sale to people that live in certain areas where no actual restrictions exist is dishonest and implies an agenda.

Westminster or Longmont store?

None taken.

I just came to a realization that this state is what it is now. There is no middle of the road. It?s what ever they think should be done based on feelings and opinions.

Westminster Store

I would have just left without paying and leaving everything at the register.

Fvck these compliant stores and thier woke agendas.

One reason Dicks won't see a penny from me.

Call or send an email asking what their policy is regarding ammo.

They likely are doing it to avoid problems with the city and county of Boulder, rather than some altruistic reason.

I just sent an email-

I was in the store in Westminster, CO recently and was asked to show my ID. I was told that your stores will not sell ammo to anyone with a Boulder, CO zip code.

Boulder does not have any restrictions on ammo purchasing or sales, so I am wondering if this is a corporate policy or something enacted by the individual store.

I look forward to hearing an explanation about this unusual situation.

Thanks for your time,
Eddie

I doubt they will even look at it, let alone answer it with anything other than a form letter.

They got back to me-

Thank you for contacting Murdoch's. We are getting this information over to the team. The information you where given was incorrect. We are making sure this does not happen again. Thank you for letting us know.

So it would seem someone in the store made the decision, not corporate.

FYI- Just got off the phone with the Westminster Murdochs. Based on litigation threats and corp legal advisement, they are limiting sales of 11-15 round mags and firearms with "assault features" to residents of areas with recent local laws. Ammo is NOT part of the limitations. Not sure if they would sell something like a standard Beretta 92 or G19, just without the mags...

I could wrap my head around 5.56 ammo... but not 22 LR... that makes no logical sense.

The employees are not highly paid so they probably just half assed listened in the morning meeting. Then probably came up with I’ll just not sell anything to someone in that zip code just to cya.
