 Deborah Valentine, Fox News. People in a handful of small towns can now buy ammunition from vending machines and grocery stores. These are locations in Oklahoma, Alabama, and a Lowe's market in Texas, which sits near a middle school, according to the Associated Press. The CEO of the Dallas-based ammunition company says the automated touchscreen dispensers verify a customer's age by scanning their photo ID and also using AI to make sure the customers are 21 or older.
