AB,

Each location has to be licensed separately. I'm not sure if the ATF considers walmart as a whole licensed or not.

The crime is not necessarily a straw purchase but making false statements in connection with the purchase of firearms or ammo.

The biggest opportunity for this crime, as it relates to ammunition purchases, to be committed is by someone 18-20 years old who tells the clerk that the ammo is for a rifle when it is really for a handgun.
