Fingerprints, background check. Waiting period.
Registration. National ID card, approval from the local

Reasonable. Is it done that way for ammo? I doubt it but don't
actually know.

In NY State: Show pistol permit to buy pistol ammo. Ammo must match one
of
the guns listed on the permit. Rifle ammo: Nobody's ever asked me for
anything but money.

NYC may or may not be different. I have no idea.

TX - 18+ to buy rifle ammo, 21+ to buy pistol ammo. As long as you meet
the age requirements we don't care what you buy. And certainly no pistol
permits specifying specific guns.


Actually, last time I bought ammo at [unnamed store], I didn't even get the
permit out of the clear sleeve in my wallet. The guy said "That's OK - I see
a fingerprint and green.", which is the color of the permit.
