Out of state Cabelas ammo sales?

[Briwesk85]

Anyone know if you can drive to Connecticut Cabelas and purchase ammo? I found some information online but it was so old, not sure what the policy is with out of state ammo buys.

Locally in Buffalo, Cabelas has been well picked over. Damn near zero handgun ammo, oddball rifle offerings, only lighter hunting and trap ammo in shotgun. Get about a dozen CT ammo store names and try multiple sources. Stores could have local policies but I'm not aware of any state policies. Not a NY problem but does CT have an ammo FOID law in effect.

Complex thanks to asshole progressive liberal politicians in the current Marxist phase the US is in.

Buy extra if you find it and vote in November.

Yeah I figured that most places are picked dry, but I figured I could take a drive to Cabelas over the weekend, but if they have ammo I wanted to be sure I’d even be able to buy ammo. I wonder what the case is too for PA.

I went to my local Walmart for .22 ammo, and they had plenty, but after waiting for 30 min for an associate, I was told “we lost the key, I can’t open the cabinet”.

You need a CT permit or something like that to buy ammo in Connecticut. They won't sell you ammo if you don't have it.

This. You need the CT Ammo card or CT permit to buy ammo.

PA is still America. They'll sell you anything you want if you have the money to pay.

PA and VT are fine.

No PA is a free state ... pick up as much as you need, no permit, no max.

It's very easy to get a CT ammo card. If Cabelas in CT is closer it might be worth it for you to get the card.

Same thing in NJ, no FID no ammo.

I was just at the Cabelas in Milwaukee a few days ago. There was a decent amount of ammo. Prices were about average. Cash and carry as in any free state. Picked up a nice edc knife to replace my old Emerson too.

Have bought ammo in both states without issue although it's been a few years since.

Ohio is always good.

Out-Of-Staters cannot buy ammo at all in Mass, unless they hold a Mass LTC.

Sounds like CT is the same.

Last time I was at an Ammo store in NH, or at KTP, I was able to buy any ammo I wanted.

you can get a ammo card for CT. in Middletown CT. takes about 20 minutes and cost is $35.00 for 5 years. Place is off Rt. 91 Country Club Road exit, emergency services building. I am in Ct a couple times a week so it is worth it for Cabelas or Bass Pro.

Yup I tried last weekend. Was kinda pissed at least they had reloading handbooks.

What's the "ammo card" you speak of? This is good for out of state persons?

 

[Sully4755]

Yes I live in New York Orange County and with CT ammo card I buy ammo at Cabelas Bass Pro and a few gun stores around Waterbury and Newington. Card cost is $35.00 for 5 years.

 

[Hierlevelz]

Can you DM specifics on how you obtained the card Sully. I too live in Orange County.

When I bought pepper spray in PA they didn’t even ID me. I was surprised.

So that’s why I couldn’t find you last time. You were in a different damned state. Makes perfect sense now!!

 

[Saltwater60]

The cabelas by me in Cheektowaga has nothing for ammo. They have shotgun shells, .17hmr, .243, .270, and 300 mags. Honestly that about it. Maybe some 7mm here and there.

They had some .40 Winchester White Box the other day. I didn't get any. I actually went to Wolcott, Cabela's and Blue Tuna all on the same day and they were all cleaned out pretty much. I think Cabela's had some small pistol calibers of a mixed variety but nothing that interested me. Maybe some Critical Defense in 45 and some boxes for like .25 or .32. Handgun inventory was at almost zero except for outliers that nobody would carry.
