A Modest Proposal

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to form a buyer club here where we could list out the ammo we want, and then whenever someone stumbles in at the right time to the store and spots some product...snag it up for the other guy. Then meet up at some point later to exchange the product for the cash?

 

Do you think this is workable?

 

For example, if Dicks in Woodbridge has 2lr, I would love a brick or two, but I can't get up to Woodbridge at the drop of a hat. If I were to try after work, I might find myself driving an hour for nothing if they sold out already.

 

Not sure if the concept is too much hassle - eventual meetup or mail, but I'm just thinking aloud.

Problem is most stores have limits at like 1 or 2 boxes per customer.

 

Very true, but if someone needed 357 and couldn't find it locally, and I wander into the LGS and they happen to have a box or two, I don't have any use for that round, but I can certainly pick up boxes up to the limit. Some is better than none.

 

Logistics might be an issue, but even forum members living in the same town could happen across something by chance at 9am whereas the other member shows up at 7pm and it is all gone (same store).

 

I'll call it a live alternative to gunbot, but at better prices (hopefully)

 

I know it requires some trust on the part of the members, so maybe restricted only to forum contributors or some such, and then a repository for what you need and what is your max price. If I see something that fits your criteria, I can pick it up and vice versa.

 

Just a thought since many of us are within driving distance and have different schedules.

      Radios...?

      By Buck Russell · Posted

      If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.

      Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)

      By GRIZ · Posted

      Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
