I went to Dick's at Woodbridge today to get some bulk reloads in 9, 40 or 45. I think its called "UltraMax"? Well, anyway they had one box of 40 and 45 left for 70 bucks so I took the 40, since there was 225 rounds aposed to the 150 of 45. I went to the counter with license in hand when the guy asked me for my FID card. I asked when they changed their policy and he said last April. So there goes that Idea. I never carry my card for fear of losing it and waiting another 6 months to get it back. But that really bothered me, it's not even a state law that you need a FID card to purchase ammo but they changed their policy for what? I really am starting to hate this state.

Its not dicks its the law...

 

SENATE No. 2470

with Senate Floor Amendments

(Proposed By Senator TURNER )

ADOPTED: JANUARY 3, 2008

Senate Bill 2470 (1R) regulates the sale of handgun ammunition.

Under the provisions of the bill, it is unlawful to sell or transfer

handgun ammunition to another person unless that person is a licensed

manufacturer, wholesaler or dealer, or is the holder of a valid firearms

purchaser identification card, a valid copy of a permit to purchase a

handgun or a valid permit to carry a handgun.

The bill does, however, permit ammunition to be transferred to

individuals who are not licensed or the holders of firearms

identification cards or permits to purchase or carry a handgun for use

in firearms that have been lawfully transferred to that individual for

target practice, trap or skeet shooting or firing range competition or

instruction.

This Senate amendment clarifies that the provisions of this bill are

not to be construed to prohibit the sale of a de minimis amount of

handgun ammunition at a lawfully operated firing range for immediate

use at that range.

I've showed my FID at dicks since March, so for me it was always the same policy

The only place that always asks me for my FID or license to buy ammo, primers, powder was Ramsey. They write in a book.

any dicks I went into asks for FID, Freehold, Princeton, and east brunswick.

Cant you just tell them its for a rifle and not a handgun?

they changed their store policy that now you need FID for any ammo. including rifle and shotgun.

I understand now, but I went all the way down there and had to drive all the way back empty handed. Anyway, that was a good deal on the 40. 225 rounds for 70 bucks, the 45 was the same price but with 75 less rounds.

I've never been a big fan of the Ultramax brand. Be aware that much of it is cast bullets.

Call around and get it in PA or De where they do not log ammo purchases! I find it total BS that they log every single piece of ammo I buy....this is one step away from "ammo audits"...

The Burlington store doesn't require it for shotgun shells; only handgun ammo, which they say includes .22. I work in Burlington City and there's a PA Walmart 5 minutes across the Burlington - Bristol Bridge. It simplifies things and it's only a $2 toll.
