It would be Nice if the Old days of Buying Ammo was Back, Do you think Ammo will be Plenty someday or is this what we have to look forward to. I keep thinking first the Health Bill and then After the Gun and then wait and see if you

can get ammo for less then (Who Knows.?

Any thoughts

I personally think that handgun ammo, or maybe all ammo, restrictions could well become the method the antis use to infringe on our gun possession rights in the future.
It's already being done to some extent with the powder markers/shell casing database requirements.
Ammo restrictions can be formulated and implemented much more subtly than actual gun restrictions.
IOW start buying bullets, powder and primers before this happens.
Hope I'm wrong..

Big gun show in Raleigh this weekend.If anyone needed ammo or reloading components they were there to be had.I don`t think we`ll ever see prices drop back to pre-Obama rates but they seem to be stabilizing for the time being.There were still a couple of dealers who were out of line with their prices but they were easily avoided.I went both days and loaded up with 12 lbs.of powder, 8,000 primers and some brass that I needed.Got more once fired brass coming next weekend from a widow woman who is selling her dead husbands reloading supplies.

Sounds like you did alright Dietrich.
That stuff sure wont go bad if you halfway take care of it.
Heck, I'm still using primers I got back in the '60s and '70s. Think they cost like $5/thousand.
You're right about ammo prices and you have to wonder if availability is really going to show a lot of improvement either.

They happened to have one box of 9mm Win wb at Wally World this weekend. When I bought it they not only checked my permit but also to make sure I had a 9mm firearm registered on it. First time every they checked for that. Not sure if it's a new rule or someone new at that counter that is being over careful.

Yet another good reason to be southern.

Gotta agree with the others on here, that's absolutely ridiculous! I realize ammo can be hard to find in some places but I believe I would have turned around and walked out. None of that info is any of their business!

Are you of age to purchase "handgun" ammunition? Do you have a drivers license to prove it? Do you have the $$ to pay for it? That is ALL they need to be concerned about!

(none of my rant is aimed personally at you BigCube just to be clear!)

I've been hearing a lil voice keep saying to me that some day Chairman O and the gang, while will not / may not (be able to) push for a gun ban, will come up with some "ammo tax" ... by then we may regard our current price "cheap". They might just call it "2nd amendment tax"

I've been telling that lil voice to go away but it's just too stubborn... I hope it is wrong.

That's good old Upstate NY. Just to be clear, they have always checked for a permit to purchase handgun ammo around here. What was new was the kid checking the permit for a 9mm firearm. In NY every handgun you own it recorded on your permit.
