'Merica: Grocery Stores Selling Ammunition Out of Vending Machines

AWR Hawkins

Some grocery stores in Alabama and Oklahoma now have American Rounds vending
machines which allow customers to buy ammo for their guns while getting a cart
full of groceries for their families.

Cleveland.com reported on the vending machines, noting they are currently in six
locations and "[use] artificial intelligence technology to verify a buyer's
identification and age through card scanning and facial recognition software."

One of the locations is a Fresh Value store in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Terry Stanley, COO of the Fresh Value, said, "We're always looking for ways to
give our customers another reason to come visit our stores. Anything we can do
to help them make their shopping trips easier, based on the feedback we've
gotten from customers today, they are so excited about us having this ammo
kiosk."

American Rounds, the company which manufactures and distributes the ammo vending
machines, has a statement on its website explaining that their system of
purchase age and eligibility checks "ensures that all transactions comply with
federal and local regulations, maintaining the highest standards of responsible
sales."

Additionally, American Rounds pointed out, "We are committed to providing a
secure environment that customers can trust for their ammunition needs."
