Ha..beat me too it!
Sometimes barter works, I once traded a stack of Popular Mechanics for a Steyr Aug 30 rounder.
As FreeWille said "Requirements: cash/credit card" HOWEVER I would add one additional thing.......
Some shops have shop policies that they won't sell high capacity magazines to Mass residents because they know they are illegal in Mass (their shop, their rules)
My suggestion is that if you are from Mass or Conn or NY, don't shoot off your mouth and say " gee I'm from XXX state and we can't even get or buy these magazines there".
Keep your mouth shut, make your purchase and leave!
Why??? Well if you announce you are from a banned state and want to buy a banned item, the shop owner may think your some sort of plant from an anti gun group, or some reporter testing out to see how easy it is to buy banned stuff out of state. (Beside which of what benefit is that information useful to the gun shop owner or in the purchase of the item?)
Bottom line be careful, don't share useless information , enjoy your purchase.... and day dream of what gun life could be like living in a free state !

Each store tends to be a little different. Some ask for DL. Some ask for nothing. Some ask for MA LTC if you produce a MA DL.
If I remember correctly, there's no statute prohibiting anybody from buying ammo or MA legal accessories. Only laws that are followed are Fed (e.g. no handgun ammo sales to those under 21 and no rifle ammo sales to those under 18.)
every walmart i've been in has asked for LTC upon seeing im a m*******. shooters outpost asks for my LTC. the only requirements are those implemented by the individual establishments. as far as the state is concerned, i think it's just 18+. but dont quote me on that.
The last time I was there, they asked to see my LTC since I'm a MA resident.
In NH it varies dramatically from store to store and even between clerks you get in the same store! One walmart I went to just wanted to make sure I was 21+ (cause I was buying "handgun ammo"). Another one wanted to see my MA LTC/FID or NH drivers license. Another one I went to recently, I was not carded at all, guy just smashed buttons on the register to ring up the sale and that was basically it.

Stores requiring ID: SLGS,SO, MFLR & sometimes Walmart
Back when Walmart wasn't perpetually sold out of ammo, I was never carded buying ammo at any NH Walmart. The register would flash up 18+ or 21+? and just as quickly the cashier would clear it.
State Line Gun Shop in Mason was rude about requesting ID, I haven't been back, Riley's is just as close and cash is king.

Bought ammo there a while back...not carded. But maybe they just "knew" I'm close to being a NH resident?

Carding
Before I moved to NH, I was carded all 4 stops at Shooter's (MA LTC was OK). Never carded at Riley's.
I saw a reply to a negative review of SO re: ammo. The owner stated that ID checks were state law and he didn't want to be closed. I've been searching online for about 25 mins and I cannot find this NH law.
If he said that it was store policy, hey, that's his business. I wouldn't be happy about BS though.

Anybody tried showing a passport to prove date of birth when ID'd for ammo?
Here's the totality of New Hampshire state and local regulations on the purchase of ammunition:

Ah yes, the place which claims that "guns are just like cars, if you do a transfer, you pay sales tax at the dealer receiving the transfer".
Never had that problem there before, is that new?

No, they will sell to out of state, but require ID and if from Mass require LTC. Been that way since they opened, and it was policy at MFLR as well (owned by same guy).
hmm, I don't require being asked that a few years ago while traveling through NH and stopped there for ammo.
