Went in today to pick up some snap caps.   You know, support the local guy.

ID required?   Excuse me?

They wanted my DL info so they could enter it "Into their system". 

Thanks but no thanks.  Lost a customer.

Lol really?  

The guy who sold me actual ammo there said it was such a pain to manually log FID# and ammo in their book.

He said he was asked for a DL, they would probably just scan the bar code.

We're seeing the real reason for the switch to digital FID, needless to say its not for the benefit of firearm owners.

I don't have any of those problems, just buy your ammo in PA.

I was literally just out in Pa this weekend, I took a ride down to Tommy Gun Warehouse. I was actually surprised to be the only guy in there.

How are their prices?

Do you know if they carry powder/primers?

A quick glance the prices seemed fair. I did see reloading inventory but I didn’t check the prices on that. I did notice that a 1000 round case of 45 acp, Remington I think was around $580. 398 for a case of 1000 was $410. That I almost jumped on since I plan on picking up an M1a soon.

What surprised me was I was the only guy shopping in there. Being this close to Christmas I figured it would be busy. 
I also went to a smaller shop in Hamlin Pa further west there 45 acp brass was around 35.00 for a box of 50. No one in there either.

At those prices, no wonder they were empty. Although I do remember going across the river to the Levittown PA. Wal-Mart to buy ammo. It felt exhilarating to be able to just walk in and out with no rigmarole.

Yeah it’s not good honestly but there was stock and as you said no bs walk in buy leave.

Was he a greenhorn?   Did you ask for a higher up to explain to him and give him knowledge?  That might be the better knowledge for both him and you.   Just because someone works at a firearms store doesn’t mean he’s knowledgeable.

I didn't track them all down but be sure to include shipping for a fair comparison. TSUSA always includes shipping in the case price, or if you're a Prime Ammo member for any amount.

Thank you I wasn't seeing good prices like the ones you guys shared!
