AFAIK, there's no rule requiring a license to BUY
equipment. There are rules about using it though.....

You are correct, there is no such written rule. However some merchants
take it upon themselves to enforce this "rule". IMHO, if they make
enough money that they can afford to turn away potential customers,
more power to them. Most ham stores though, aren't exactly busting at
the seems with buyers......
