Buying ammunition in Pa ?

[Beerman]

We need a "where to buy ammo in Pa" thread.

That’s easy- the answer is “any PA shop that has the ammo you want that had a fair price.” Same goes for other states that don’t require a FOID or similar card to purchase ammunition.

NYPD is your FRIEND .. remember that

New York Goes Door To Door For Gun Parts & NYPD Puts On Master Class On How To Build "Ghost Guns"​

i hope they hit all the Lowes and Home depots there too .


give it a month or two and NYSP will be doing the same BS

 

[Uninformed and Compliant]

You guys are busy worrying about the trooper car... What about the drones telling him which car came from the PA gun store?

Obviously the only solution is full urban camo on the tops of all of our cars.

Nah. Just spray paint the phrase, "EPSTEIN'S CLIENT LIST" all over the roof and the drones will be unable to see you.

Close the door call 911 and say there is a group of people outside my door pretending to be cops wanting to see my guns. They don’t have warrants and I am scared.

What’s the next fear gonna be? Out of state gasoline in our tanks? Out of state produce? Canned goods? No- I got it: clothing. Untaxed shirts and socks. What in the ever-lovin’ FUCK are people worried about regarding buying ammunition from outside the NYS border? Unlike handguns and (now) semi-auto rifles, it is lawful and possible to buy ammunition from another state and drive home with it. Just like you could buy body armor while you’re there, and bring it home, too. The Troopers can’t do anything regarding this to impede or prevent it from happening.

Even when it’s not legal and I’m not ID’d I’ll still buy it out of state and return with it. I will remove it from all the boxes with lot codes and place it in an old ammo can. Prove I bought it out of state. Pay cash and no receipt.

 

[Saltwater60]

The only thing "illegal" about that is not paying the sales tax. Yep, sounds weird but it’s true for any product that you buy and did not pay NYS sales tax on. That was a big thing years ago with NYC people going to Jersey and buying clothes, appliances etc.

And not once has this ever occurred outside of a vehicle or something that requires registration on it. This should be challenged and is likely illegal.

Painting "Hunter's hard drive" should also work then.

Took a Sunday drive to the U.S of A today to gather some freedom seeds to add to the stockpile . No checkpoints at the re-entry into TPR of NY , no helicopters tailing me, no sweat.

On a side note, what a welcome feeling browsing ammo not locked behind glass along with standard round magazines plentiful with explosive rifle targets in large quantities. NY can eat a bag of dicks


On a side side note, this was not PA if anyone is curious

 

[thegatman]

How would they know if you were from NY?

Your car plates bubba

 

[dsdmmat]

I picked up a 1000 rounds of 45 Friday. Local gun store manager helped me carry it out to my truck. No background checks, no Identification cards required. Probably going to grab 1000 rounds of 223 my next trip.

So the gun counter guy at the big box sporting goods store is going to know exactly which car is yours in the sea of vehicles parked out in the lot and use his binoculars to check the plate? (This assumes he tracked you from the moment you stepped out of your car and made your way through the store.)

To quote our clueless leader: "Come on, man!"

With the exception of maybe a few boot-lickers right on the adjacent borders, nobody outside of NY gives a fuck where you live when you purchase ammo.

 

[REF]

True^^^^^^. Where I went yesterday, an out of state Runnings, clerk told me over half of their ammo sales are coming from NYers. And this one wasn’t even in a state that borders NY, go figure

 

[LibertyWins]

Just wait until NYSP stages at the border to pull traffic stops on cars with NY plates like they do during fireworks season.

You guys go on and keep telling Aunt Cunty Hochul ways around her bullshit so she can fix all the holes.

You don't learn.

I don't recall seeing anything in the NYS law that says state residents aren't allowed to buy ammo in other states and bring it home. Does it actually say that?

 

[LibertyWins]

I cannot keep ammo on the shelves fast enough. With the Hornady primer factory explosion and a Czech billionaire buying up CCI & Federal ammo, we are going to have a shortage again not to mention we are giving arms to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Better stock up now and do not repeat what happened during Covid.

I did most of my stocking up during the Covid shortage. All ordered online. Spent over $1/round on thousands of rounds, like an idiot. Caught the FOMO feeling. I think I spent ~$6k on 5.56 alone lol

No. Completely legal. Don’t buy into the fear porn.

I bought a gun and ammo at a big box last weekend. The clerk at the ammo desk said his buddy got nailed at the PA border by the NYSP with a $250.00/box fine. Sounds like total BS to me as I have not seen or heard anything about this being illegal or any part of the SAFE Act or the CCIA prohibiting it. Federal Law keeps you from buying a pistol out of state, not not long guns or shot guns or ammo. I don't doubt that Hochul, the AG and the NYSP would and do often make threats, make arrests, make criminal cases, confiscate legally owned items, illegally search, issue fines, etc. under color of law with no actual law to back them up, just lots of lawyers, judges and taxpayer money to keep us down anyway they can. So it seems to me that they "can't", but perhaps do anyway. Anyone got a bead on this (ie. it's been done to you or someone you know personally and not a story by some guy about some other guy he knows)?

So now ammo stores and FFLs follow you from the parking lot? I doubt they care or even look.

No and NYS can’t dictate what you do in other states.

No way that’s true.

Picked up a couple cases of 223 yesterday. The store was having a case sale. May go back and grab some 9mm or 45 today.

What was the price for .223, if you’d be willing to divulge that information?

 

[dsdmmat]

9.99 a box so 500 a case.

The only way you get away with this is you're driving a Prius. Good camouflage plan.

I think they should be sent bolt guns. Good enough for us and would naturally keep ammo usage down.

I will not fear. Fear is the mind killer.

Not horrible, but not great. Until you factor in the “NYS missed out on sales tax and suppression of a free citizen’s rights” aspect, in which .50/rnd becomes a bargain.

.50 cents a round is going to look cheap in about 4months if the 2 wars in Europe and the Middle East don’t wrap up.

I'm cheap, so .50 a round dosn't sound like a bargain to me, I can still roll load em for IDK about .15 each.
Buy it cheap and stack it deep!

My most recent buy of .223 was .395/rnd at the end of August. That seemed acceptable. I think I’ll be holding what I’ve got for a while and shoot less expensive ammo to keep the fun factor high. Plinking with .22LR is still extremely fun, and pistols never rate lower than a full solid pegged GoodTime-o-Meter.
