If you LIE and say it is for a rifle, and you intend to use it for a handgun, has a law been broken? If so, which one ? (Not being sarcastic...I'd just like to know the answer and why)

The above was meant to be an 'example' of asking for a handgun-only ammo.

Let me correct the example, to make it easier for all to understand the intended point...

I don't know what comes up on the register if you ask for <insert your favorite handgun-only caliber here> ammo.
If it is still "Rifle or Pistol" and the clerk is not knowledgeable, you can probably leave Walmart (or your seller of choice) with ammo if you answer "Rifle" and you actually intend to use it for a handgun.
I have no idea if the stores have coded the register question to the level of detail needed to distinguish a handgun-only caliber of ammo...
...but I also don't know if by intentionally lying whether you have committed a crime or not.
