Duppie

I just picked up 250 rounds of Aguila 130 grain .38 special for $99.00 shipped so it works out to .39 cents a round and consider myself lucky,however when I looked in my stash,I found 4 boxes of Lellier&Bellot 158 grain I got early last year in Maine that was priced $12.99 so it comes out to .26 cents/round.... prices properly never to be seen again.

If it will make you feel any better, I too received my registration renewal and for my 02 Jetta wagon I'm being charged $46.50 which is almost double to your Girlfriend's Passat.....and the Passat is the model above my piddling Jetta. I can only deduce that I will have to pay more because it's a newer model or a wagon....go figure.

Excellent point....but to commit a crime illegally is still a double negative.

One small point....... When one commits crimes...it is generally considered "Illegal" already. I know of no crimes that can be committed legally.

Yet other ranges only require, Name,Address,Telephone #,FID # if available and 1 picture ID. Taking for granted that all public ranges go through the same stringent state oversight and required liability insurance why is some 1/2 a page and others 10? I'm all for CYA especially in this day and age but the disparity in the amount of personal information some newer establishments require you to divulge in order to buy range time is puzzling.

I with you.....I keep looking for something to buy just to take advantage of the shipping but other than ammo....there's nothing I really need or want.

Well written but maybe too controversial for the faithful....

Netflix. Special Forces: French Commandos in Afghanistan. Red Lights: Debunking Faith healers. The man from Earth: A caveman among us.

At the very least you must save a bundle in ammo..........

My connection in the EB Dicks is gone so I'm reduced to passing in every once in awhile and chatting with one of the managers, She said that the same 8 guys and their friends are waiting at the door on truck day and buying up the little allotment is sent to that store.Leaving little if any for the poor schmuck like my self to fend for himself..... I don't see this trend ending soon,It may ease to the point that we see more vendors online offering more ammo sooner but I think between the profiteers and the hoarders it's not going to be at a point where we can just open a screen or hop out of a car and be assured there will be ammo on the shelf at a moments notice any time in the near future.

Then it is being diverted somehow. Just the fact that it's so widespread across 13 NJ locations makes me believe that other than the regional knowing about the practice, it has to go higher.

So is it a regional thing?I've read accounts of visits right here on this forum and others reporting no availability not only in PA but Fort Worth,Maine,Lacey WA, and others of spotty supply, if any in popular calibers. Yet to read about any Walmart having any significant supply, even in Florida.

Clint......define "everywhere". Perhaps on the auction sites but just take a brief tour of the traditional on line sites,Sportsman,Natchez,Palmetto,Cabelas,USA Ammo,Freedom,SGA,Wideners et al is completely sold out of the popular calibers and have been for months. When it does show in stock...it's gone in moments regardless of the price.

I venture they will be advertizing for a new regional manager very soon if not last week.......

I believe that "normal" is a misnomer,I think it's going to be over a year before a new normal is reached. A normal where we will be able to walk in to Cabelas,or Dicks and actually have a choice of ammo,quantity and price. All of which will not resemble the "normal" pre Connecticut prices or availability.

Welcome to the ranks.....I don't believe your reasoning to firearm ownership is unique however, as I'm sure the overwhelming amount of NICS checks would attest to but just the fact you live in New Jersey and have endured the "slings and arrows" to become one is admirable.

It has more to do with attempting to impress than brand loyalty....whether it be the bartender,a friend or the lone young lady at the bar.very few can discern the difference between a premium or top shelf and a well pour in a mixed drink. The first or second pour generally pays for the whole bottle at whole sale so when dining out I generally BYOB and save the cocktails for home.

According to a Forbes article more almost 1800 in the first 3 quarters of 2012,690 in the first 90 days of 2013, it has caught the eye of our fine politicians who want a way to tax Americans even after they renounce their citernship. Facebook co founder Saverin moved to Singapore,Denice Rich,Tina Turner,Isebella Getty just to name a few. It was even hinted that newest Tumblr millionaire David Karp was anticipating a move to Singapore after sealing the sale to Yahoo.

.....that is the exact reason I shop at Marche Atwater in Montreal....Even Murry's in the city cannot replicate the complex waft of an aged whole milk Camembert or Livarot.

I hear you....I love Paris and never had a single problem with the French regardless of their largely undeserved reputation for aloofness. My own people?.....more so.

Thank you,I didn't mean to raise your hackles, I am well aware of what Europeans think of Americans, I am European born and spent 2 1/2 years living and working there recently. The most recent equivalent of France's census has immigration from former French colonies in 2010 at over 7.2 million not including the estimated 700 to 800 k undocumented..........so yes there are 5'th and 6'th generation but also a significant %, some 11% are recent immigrants. My news I gather from several sources. Reuters,AP,BBC,Dagblat,The Guardian, and when available radio Luxembourg.

True but like NJ the public sector is quite large and the ones struggling are overwhelmingly recent immigrants from just about every ex France colony around the globe.

The tax the French and increasingly here in America is aimed at high worth individuals who each government targeted as "not paying their fair share"several of the Americans were dot com wiz kids who decided to move to Singapore,Costa Rica, and even a French actor who was welcomed to Russia with instant residency by Putin.

In France...properly a moot point. The French has the shortest work week and some of the most liberal vacation and time off in Europe.
