So my son went to the Carter’s Country store in Spring Saturday to buy a new deer rifle. I gave him my credit card to make the purchase with (which he has done twice before in the past for other gun purchases there), but this time they told him he couldn’t use my card since his name wasn’t on the card. Said I had to be the one there in person to use it. I called the store gave them verbal permission even went as far to say I’d text them over a copy of my DL, CHL and retired military ID. But they still said no. Said it was a new store policy since the Ulvade shootings. I’ve bought guns from them off and on for nearly 30 years but honestly don’t know if I’ll buy from them anymore. Just very very aggravating!

With the technology in place now, more times than not a person doesnt even have to hand over a card. Just stick the chip into the machine and away you go. So the act of checking the card holders ID is a thing of the past. Im a little surprised they would even need to handle the card, but if that is the policy they choose to have, then I support that.Last edited by bowhuntntxn; 08-07-2022, 05:16 AM.

We were in a few weeks back purchasing a Glock for my wife. They asked if it was for me or her. All the usual questions. While she was filling out paperwork, I went to hand her cash to pay for it. The guy said I couldn’t do that if we wanted the gun. He said I could not give her money for purchasing a firearm. I explained she was my wife and I would give her whatever I wanted to and if they had a problem we would go somewhere else. I put the money in her pocket and asked if we should leave or finish with the paperwork. We ended up with the pistol.

Sure it happens daily and I see both sides. But, you have to realize they have a business to run within the rules of the ATF.
I haven't been in a carter's in over 20 years and I'm good with that. Way better places to shop
