So I was looking at their little bit on security and I think its a riot that they do not even seem to hint at the issue of a cook off. In fact they seem to think security of live ammunition is just about theft and ID checking.
“Every transaction is powered by advanced card scanning and facial recognition technology to verify ID and age, ensuring every sale is secure, compliant, and backed by the highest standards of responsibility.”
That is it, nothing else. Even looking at drink vending machines they have info on the mechanics of their machine (how it keeps things cold, how it stores and vends etc.).
For comparison every place I have seen ammo sold its ether just on a shelf, locked behind glass (not able to hold much pressure), or in a locked metal cage.
Eh, everything vends in the end. That is not the weird part to me, its the blatant disregard of explosive storage safety that has me fascinated. Like this is from a company that makes ammo as well, and this makes me wonder if there is any design for a blow out or if they are also storing ammo like this in their facilities.
There are not really as much restrictions about ammo storage and less so with a vending machine. But what do you mean by bypass? What does it not being a person matter (any storage is not a person unless they are hooping rounds and yet people are still responsible for storage)?
I mean in terms of buying it. A vending machine has zero critical thinking skills and can potentially recognize someone behaving oddly, or blatantly using someone else’s ID or other similar funny business.
I’m not talking about storage, the ubiquitous comment was about that. Like you said its almost always stored poorly, a vending machine doesnt change that.
What? I did not say that. I was talking about storing explosives in a closed metal box (vending machine) is basically a bomb and the company was incorrectly thinking security of live ammo only had to do with theft and access. Did you just do the same exact thing as the people who make this vending machine?
Also to note, at least outside of america ammo is mostly stored securely (as in not a bomb and not trivially accessible out side of a store). You could argue that it could be better, but honestly the theft part is not the big issue in most places outside of america due to needing a firearm (or rough equivalent) to use the ammo.
Thanks for looking it up ! so it’s rare. It’s kind of a relief. I find it disturbing that weapons are so normalized over there. Of course there are legitimate reasons to own a weapon but still
Yo I have 4 firearms and I find it disturbing too. It’s a huge cultural problem we have that, in my opinion, is one of the reasons we have so many more gun deaths than other nations around the world.
I’m going to lovingly cradle my SKS and try to not think about it.
The vending machines are rare, but it’s very normal for stores to stock boxes of ammo on their shelves as there’s no paperwork or restrictions on it’s purchase like with the firearms themselves. I live like a mile from the downtown of ultraliberal Portland Oregon and there are like a dozen stores within a ten minute drive where I can buy a box of rounds.
Likewise and I’m like a 10 minute walk in almost any direction from buying 1000+ rounds of whatever ammo I want no questions asked.
NGL it’s pretty fun to go target shooting but holy hell do some people stock up like the “end is nigh” and they’re gonna need to shoot their way out. My local shops have signs now that say only 2 boxes of ammo of any kind per customer per day. Or at least they did the last time I bought ammo. It takes awhile to get through 1000 rounds lol
Regular family dude several years ago got shot to death by cops at a walmart while carrying a stocked pellet gun around to checkout bc a white person called the cops and described him as angry on the phone. In an open carry state.

Is this real or parody ?
Apparently a real thing:

Though it looks like none of them are in Target (I had a hard time believing that anyway, they had a ‘no firearms’ policy for a long time).
It looks like there are 7 of them throughout the US; a few in Kansas, 1 in Texas, one in Colorado, and 1 in Alabama.

There is so much about this vending machine thats odd, definitely.
Not the least of which being, you know, fucking ammo in a vending machine.

I mean, thats kind of ubiquitous though.
This sort of vending option can easily bypass most restrictions because its not a person. Yes, people can help bypass too, still though.
?

Sorry I said it poorly and made that unclear

wondered if this sort of thing happens more often in the states? I mean kinda wild that this happens as I am looking at stupid american ammo storage.
Yeah I put “Target” in there for the double meaning not that this thing is actually at a Target
NGL I cooked on this meme for probably too long lol
Makes sense, and seems like 😄
