Almost alway's a surprise buying ammo from them. Had to show my FID and my drivers licence earlier to buy a box of 22's. The assbag behind the counter tells me it's so I'm not borrowing someones ID card. He needed to see my DOB. He didn't realize it was on the back of the FID where he didn't look. He must have flunked out of cop school or something. When you buy a gun from them they almost break out in a sweat like they're commiting a crime or something. Still better than the one in East Hanover though.

What are the prices like at Dick's. I went to the one in Brick the other day but the guy who does the ammo wasn't in or something. Couldn't see the prices behind the obnoxious cages it is locked behind.

Be nice guys...It's not the fault of the guy behind the counter. It's the fault of our elected officials and our ambiguous laws.

 

BTW was that 22lr rifle or pistol ammo? I ask because I don't own or ever buy 22lr pistol ammo...

Prices are ok if it's on sale. There's Winchester AA target load 12GA for $6 after rebate, Remington UMC .223 for $8/box, 9mm - $12, .40 - $18, .45 - $22. If you can get out to a Walmart in PA it's a lot cheaper. 100 round boxes of 12 ga target loads are $21 ($4.20/box compared to $6 after rebate).

Its all the same and you need to be 21 or older to buy it, heres a story.

I was at the dicks in Freehold and i bought a remington 597 at the age of 18 last year and after filling out all the paperwork and purchasing the rifle i told the guy that i needed some .22 ammo and he said that i am not allowed to purchase it because it can be used in pistols. even though i purchased RIFLE that fired that ammunition he refused to sell it to me. :x :evil:

Silly under age kid. Makes sense to me.... NOT!!

I can honestly say that I've never had a problem at any Dicks and I usually go to the ones in Princeton, Burlington, Cherry Hill and Mount Laurel.

 

But then again, 90% of the time when I go, I'm on my way home from work and in a business suit. If they are profiling, they aren't targeting balding, middle aged, overweight Jewish businessmen. I normally buy gun club loads, but I buy handgun ammo occasionally.

 

I always have my FID out when I get to the counter regardless of whether I am buying handgun ammo or skeet loads. Sometimes they ask for my DL, sometimes they don't. If they do, I don't mind. I've gotten to know some of these employees. We BS about shooting skeet or about what firearms are selling. I've actually considered applying for a job in their lodge, not because I need the money, but because I think it would be neat to help people out with their firearms purchases.

 

I'm quite grateful that we have Dicks in this state. Wal Mart won't sell ammo here. K-Mart stopped years ago. Without Dicks, we would be forced to buy overpriced gun store ammo or travel to PA.

The store in Princeton is pretty nice - they're pretty good there with selling guns and ammo.

I don't know, I only go to Dicks to buy clothing and golf stuff.

I frequent the Princeton one as well. Usually are pretty well stocked (advantage of living in a specifically high gun-hating/ignorant area?), and the guys behind the counter are pretty nice/easy going folk. Still, I'm going to start buying my ammo online exclusively now-- far better prices, and I'd rather support these guys then some conglomerate.
