If you have friends who are over 21, best thing to do is ask them to come with you. Or just ask somebody you know to grab you some .357 the next time they happen to be in Cabela's.

That would be a straw purchase and that would be illegal.

You should call in and complain to the regional/district manager.

It ain't a fucking firearm dude.

Its not a straw purchase, since I can legally get the ammo no problem. Lets say your going plinking with a 22 and say to a friend "pick up a box for me ill pay ya back." its no problem, if you want them to get you 9mm to shoot in a xd or something, then that is.

I had legal right to buy the ammo. Ill try again soon and raise hell if I cant get it, or try and buy at gun counter itself where they know what the hell their talking about (and keep the records of sale if it comes to it.)

Yeah, buying ammo for somebody to use in a firearm that they own and operate legally is not a "straw purchase". As k9870 has said, the reason that retail chains won't sell pistol ammo to anyone under 21 isn't because of the law, it's because of store policy.

(This is at the federal level, of course; I'm sure individual states have their own laws.)

Well, if you weren't at the gun counter then that's your problem. The only Cabela's employees who are required to have any firearm knowledge are the guys in the guns department.

Which becomes an issue when one self-anointed expert who works in Shoes decides he's going to start selling customers guns. Fucking Paul....

So i ordered two savage mk 2 mags, a spare 10 for plinking and a 5 for varmint hunting. Says on website, must be 18 to purchase. Then i get a ups message, saying my order is got updated "at request of manufacturer" that someone over 21 has to sighn for package when it arrives. I work at UPS so got it straightened out and could get it, but It could have been a huge inconvienence seeing i wouldnt be able to sighn for my package if i was some other customer. Seriously savage, people 18-20 own your rifles
