   I avoid Walmart but they used to have good prices on Winchester White Box   
   .45 ACP ammo. I don't know what question popped up for the cashier but she   
   muttered under here breath 'Yeah, like he's going to use them in a   
   shotgun'.   
      
      
   You certainly wouldn't want children to buy matches. They might do   
   something stupid like cut the heads off 'strike-anywhere' matches and   
   stuff them into an empty CO2 canister.   
      
   I haven't bought matches in a long time but I think 'strike-anywhere' has   
   been replaced by 'strike-nowhere' anyway. What fun is it if you can't   
   ignite a kitchen match with your thumbnail and get a few burning bits   
   stuck under the nail?
