I recently bought a rifle sling at a local Dick's Sporting Goods. Upon checkout the cashier asked me for my DOB. I asked her what was the problem and she replied that it is Dick's policy only to sell firearm related items to persons over 18 because they are "controlled items". First time that I have run across such a store policy for an accessory. Do other stores have such policies for firearm accessories? I thought it was a little intrusive and if the item wasn't on clearance I probably would have walked out.
