I was at Academy last night buying some 42 round AR mags, and the last of their ammo. As I was checking out, one of the guys behind the counter at the customer service desk came over. This is as what he said.
"Hey, are you a security guard or cop?"
:No
"Why are you buying all that stuff"
:I'm low on ammo, and wanted to pick up a few mags before they were all gone
"Wow, are you planning to shoot up a school or something?"
:*shocked face* Um, no...
"You really shouldn't buy that stuff. People use it to murder people, and you're just making it worse"
:I think i'll be okay, but thanks anyway
At which point, the checker handed me my receipt and i left
That is as close as i can remember to his exact words. I thought about going to the manager, but decided not to waste my time. He was wearing a red vest so i assume he was a shift manager or something.
What the heck do you do when something like that happens. I have never had anyone say something like that to me before

I had a guy at walmart question why I wanted 2 boxes of ammo =/. Granted it was the 250rnd box for 9mm, but still 2 boxes?

I would have got his name and reported him to somone much higher than a store manager. He had no right at all to question you much less make those kind of assumptions.

Yes, I would've been offended. I hope I wouldn't have twisted off on him and drawn a whole bunch of attention to the situation. He needs to realize you know people shoot up a bunch of kids with that stuff so the protectors of children need the stuff also.

I would of asked him if he was going to be drinking and driving tonight because that's what people with cars do. I would have made a BIG scene.

I may have caused a scene. That's absolutely unacceptable.

I would go back and talk to store manager. Besides insulting you he should be fired for making such a rude and disgusting reference to tragic events.

I would have jumped right in his ... He would have never been the same
I have some magic beans if anyone is interested. No extra time hunting but they'll make you fart to the tune of Back In Black...

He deserved a swift kick to his balls and fist upside his nose. I'd said no I'm not shooting up a school, but I am going to whip your arse.

It's worth the effort simply because he insulted you. If someone came up to me and asked if I was going to murder people I would lose it. Insulting customers at any point is wrong, but especially in this manner and time frame.

He not only insulted you he insulted all of us shooters . You can go through 500 rounds in just a few week ends if you are shooting matches or just target shooting. Also get his name so when he comes asking for you to protect him because he doesn't own a gun you can hand him a stick and tell him good luck!
Keep em huntin and they wont have time to get in trouble!! And remember RESPECT goes a long way!!

The Academy Store I go to in San Antonio has an assist. mgr that his Son is now in prison w/a gal he was living with who murdered some folks..a year or so ago. I'd love to see him question anyone about a weapon. Most of us were reared by parents that drilled gun safety and responsibility into us at an early age. I do now see a few younger guys come to the range w/AR type weapons and small children and sometimes they do let their kids play a little..which I personally do not agree with, but I'm not their parent..Still think you start them on SS rifles and shotguns and teach them how to shoot..Don

Once we have kids and they are old enough, well thats what I have the .22 bolt rifle set aside for.

Hindsight being 20/20 because you never think of it when caught off guard.
I would have said at 100 decibels......"EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU IN CHARGE OF SALES PREVENTION!!!"
