Wal-mart Gun sales in Fayetteville, TN

[graydw1]

In Fayetteville, when you buy a long gun, you have to either buy a hard case and lock or bring one with you. They will not sell you a gun unless they can put it in a locked hard case and carry it to the curb. The high school is diagonlly across the highway and the worker said it was some kind of federal law dealing with the school.

Anyone know of the law they speek of?

Kind of funny as I was carrying a loaded 45 and could not carry an unloaded rifle out of the store.

what ever it takes .......better to buy one with a small hassle then not be able to get one at all.........

Not a real big hassle because I learned of the requirement beforehand so I brought my own lock and hardcase. Didn't want to have to buy another.

It could be part of the Gun Free School Zone Act if the Walmart is within a certain distance of the school. I beleive it is 1000 ft, so they may very well be correct, but I'm not positive.
