Ends up he is saying foid or F.O.I.D well apparently if I don't know what it is I probably don't have one. He says I can't touch it, I told him I didn't want to buy it but just check it out. Without a FOID I can't even touch it. My co-worker says hey I have one as he reaches into his wallet and the clerk says sorry but you guys are together, can't show it to you either. I realize I just got off the plane but didn't know we landed in the Soviet Union! Then he tells me I can't be in front of the display case. So I backed up and preceded to share the wonderfully leniant laws from Ohio and here's how they compare...
To own a gun: (Chicago)Have a FOID or F you ID (Ohio)No special documentation
Purchase a gun: (Chicago) FOID and 2 week waiting period (Ohio) 15-20 minute background check. No check required on private sales
Regulations: (Chicago) 10 round magazine max capacity (Ohio)You can buy a 17 round mag all day.
CCW law: (Chicago)None allowed (Ohio)Complete training, apply to local sherrif and pay $55
I'm sure there are many others but these are a few that just blew me away. Oh and I can't buy ammo without showing a FOID or hunting license. I think if you're going to require a license you should have to prove competent first and how can you learn to shoot if you can't own a gun? I don't think he understood that posession was ruled to mean ownership not immediate control. Obama won't take your guns but you won't be able to get them just ask the Illini.

You ran into an idiot while at Bass Pro! I've seen plenty of people in gun shops without a F.O.I.D. card, so you can stand in front of the cases all you want. Most of the idiotic gun laws here in IL are the result of the King of Chicago aka King ****. I couldn't even look at a gun while in the Army w/o that stupid card!!! While Chicago has the highest rate of murder, IL and Wisconsin are the only two holdouts (including Puerto Rico & Alaska) on CCW laws. Daley doesn't even want retired law enforcement here the ability to carry! I can't wait for the NRA to challenge Chicago like they did in D.C. The ignorant here blame the gun manufacturers and gun shops for all the killing instead of the gang bangers who take random and wild shots killing kids on their way to school. Sorry for the rant (first post too), but you hit a sensitive spot with your post.
As for the Walmart policy, it's just as stupid as not being able to purchase alcohol after 12am.
