Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas
a triangle of bullshit states I couldn’t give a fuck less about. It’s hard to contain my surprise here about such a goofy ass backwards thing in these states lol
But you have to go to a liquor store to purchase wine…
Depends on the state. You can get liquor in grocery stores in Michigan.
Edit: that said, highest proof allowed for sale in Michigan is 151.
Clearly when your mowing down helpless shoppers this is a god send.
Just this morning I remembered I needed more ammo for the 30-50 feral hogs that attack me at the supermarket.
It really is! I ran out of ammo yesterday when I was shooting up an Oklahoma daycare center. Walked across the street to the Walmart and got another 50 rounds of 7.62 from the vending machine. I was back to shooting toddlers in like 5 minutes flat! So convenient!

I do worry about the absence of the human element. If someone smells like alcohol, or gives off any red flags -sellers should refuse the sale. If someone wants to access bullets, but a human refuses to sell to them for liability reasons, they can come to the machine instead.
Honestly… it’s “just” ammo.
It’s bad, don’t get me wrong, but most gun owners keep at least some ammunition on hand and gun nuts frequently stock up when things go on sale (or are just always buying cuz…. Zombie apocalypse….)
A store clerk isn’t going to be able to tell the difference from all of 5 minutes or less of interaction. Drunk sure, but even then, if the drunk has or can get the firearm anyhow…. It’s almost certain there’s at least a full mag.
The alternative more likely is them just in the aisle. Where you can just walk out with them without paying.
You are a genius!
Grocery stores? Seriously? I would understand shooting range etc.
Crazy.
I like how they make this sound like it’s unusual.
Walmart sold ammo for years, and here, local chains like Bi-Mart still do.
The only interesting bit is the vending machine.
Outside of the rural south this is very unusual
Every Walmart outside of the big city sells ammo in my blue state, then again there aren’t any Walmarts in the big city.
Those who read the article will know that the machine scans your ID and your Face. So this is as secure as having the stuff behind the counter. And more secure than selling online.
I’m a gun-grabbing repeal-the-second type, but this isn’t offensive or unusual.
It’s pretty unusual. Also, those scanners can probably be fooled by a printed photograph held up.
