Besides being watched at every corner, we've created a land where some folks are afraid of every honest move they make. Why? Who knows, mayhap they just feel guilty for no reason.

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the trouble with many shooting experts is not that they're ignorant; its just that they know so much that isn't so.
More likely, they just want their privacy. Just because the feds do everything they can to pry into our lives, doesn't make it right. If a store requires personal information like that, then I fully support boycotting that store. They may have a right to require anything they want in their own store, but we have a right to shop elsewhere.
I would but don't really know what to buy there. They don't have reloading supplies and never have any guns I would buy. I do buy some .22 LR even though they are over priced and I pay to use their range sometimes but it is only 25 yards. I use them for the occasional transfer if I find I gun I want to buy from a third party, they want a lot for the transfers. They get what business I can throw their way but it is not enough that they even remember my name.

Hard to do when they have no firearms you want and all items are over priced. Unfortunately has made it hard for physical stores to make money. I don't mind paying a little more to support them. But when it's upwards of twenty percent more I'm not buying.
I've stopped using them for transfers as well. I understand they want me to buy firearms from them. But I can't do that when they have nothing I want. Local guy charges $20 a transfer compared to the $40 they want. Guess who gets my money in that scenario.
I have also in addition to age and zip been asked for phone number
never give the correct intel either

Being as where I worked at the Pentagon I'm guessing big bro. knows more me than I do.
As far as WalMart asking me my age when I buy a can of spray lacquer, I could care less. For Heavens sake what does anybody think they could possibly do with that anyway?
Come after me because I was born on 10/1/43? Ya right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I am not mistaken, it is not illegal to sell ammo to someone underage, rather it is illegal to purchase ammo if you are underage. So the store doesn't have to ask you, I think they just choose to.
When asked if I have proof of my age, I usually say"I'm wearin it" if pressed for a date , 1492 or 1066 . I have been "carded" buying pipe cleaners , fer gosh sake. I am 69 YO and will not drag out a DL for pipe cleaners.
Birth date and zip code will put you on an E Mail list. OOOOOOOOOOOOOKay!

Just because they WANT the information that is not a RIGHT to your/my information.
If you have a smart phone keep the Location Services or GPS function turned off. Otherwise you ~could~ end up getting soft drink ads popping up when you go to the soft drink aisle. Cell phone service providers and app designers can see where you are over a broad area by triangulating cell towers but with GPS enabled they can tell where you are in a shopping center or grocery store- or anywhere else for that matter.
In many states the magnetic strip on the driver's license contains quite a bit of information according to things I've read; certainly more than any retailer needs to know. I hand them a CHL that doesn't have the magnet strip; just a barcode. They balk but I remind them that the law is to show a valid government issued picture ID. It gives no useful information to them since they don't have a way to scan it. I had a bank teller run my driver's license through a magnetic card reader ONCE. I told him to cancel the transaction and start over. Might have been too late but they were never permitted to scan it again. I could give a rat's rear end less about it being convenient for them. Store clerks are apparently not allowed to apply common sense or judgment and recognize that a person is of social security age when selling alcohol.
Sometimes the zip code data backfires. Years ago Boat U.S. opened a store in Houston. To determine where the store should be they looked at the zip codes of their existing mail order customers. They failed to determine where the rest of the chandleries were located. The others were all located 35 miles away, near the water and the marinas. It wasn't long before they opened a second store near the water.
