“Well it’s a woke moment at Bass Pro today. I was in the area and needed some ammunition All was well until checkout when I was asked for my PAL and my drivers license. I handed my PAL over and asked why I needed to further prove myself with a drivers license. The cashier was good said it was a new law and they needed my address and other information. I asked him who I could speak to about this and went to customer service. The nice lady Sandra asked how she could help and I explained that my PAL is government issued and vetted by the RCMP and there is no need for my drivers license as well. Anyone coming here can get a drivers licence. I took a course,wrote tests, had criminal records check and have been vetted. She said in Sept the federal government added policy to request a drivers license as well. I asked her if this was LAW to require this extra step. She repeated it was policy and that BASS PRO is implementing this policy. There you have it. I can buy my ammo at a number of alternative places which do not require the license only PAL and I will be purchasing from these vendors from now on. BASS PRO has decided to pander to the liberal agenda instead of standing against government overreach. I’m sure they realize that the large majority of Firearms owners are Conservatives but have chosen to stand on the other side of this fight. Good luck BASS PRO and please pass this along and join the silent protest of NOT purchasing ammo from this retailer.”
