The saga continues... fun dealing with gv'mental monopolies.

Nope. You're not supposed to have any ammo for any gun for which you do not have a license to possess. To purchase ammo LEGALLY you've got to go through the g'vt website set up for such a thing. Then go to the store on the army base where they have it in stock. I've not checked the Brigade store just south of us. It's only about 30 miles, but through one of the most expensive toll gates in the country, which (along with travel time and fuel) raises the cost per round measurably. I'm in no hurry, don't rightly have the $$ right now to make the purchase so was just checking "for science" as it's all new since last year. Before that you just showed up with a photo copy of your license and your ID card and bought the bit of ammo they deemed you worthy of being allowed to take possession of. They've even clamped down on the shotgunners now. It used to be the shotgunners could buy a case or two of ammo and take possession of it t a sanctioned shoot. Now they're only selling them enough at the shoot to take care of their needs at the shoot itself. Needless to say, that doesn't account for practice ammo. Shucks, the last time I bought ammo was at a shotgun shoot, and they had 38 ammo along as well as 9mm and several other calibers as well. BUT you're not allowed to buy anything for which you don't have currently legal papers for.
