I’m driving next week between the Hudson Valley and Pittsburgh, stopping in Pike County to,pick up my non-resident CCW.

Any shops I should check out on the drive with an excellent ammo selection?

There are tons of them who will gladly sell you ammo. Just need an ID to show that you are over 21 years of age and no b/g check.

A friend of mine just came back from tenn, stopped into Buds Gunshop, they would not sell ammo to him because he said he was from NY.

Some people just need to learn to shut their phucking mouths'.

Are you talking about me lol.
I was so happy to get ammo in my hands @BG’s in TN and said I was from NY. They took it away from me :-(

I frequent a mom & pop family owned FFL in NEPA. They know that I'm from New Yorkistan and they have NO PROBLEM selling me whatever ammo they have in stock. You do get 'the look' whenever you want to buy something like a firearm that is 'NYS non-compliant'. Fair enough that they do not want to lose their FFL for selling prohibited items for what may be considered a 'strawman purchase' for use in locations where it is not authorized. I might just get a PA drivers license after all and be done with it.

I am old and grey and they all ask, just to cover their bases, I suppose. Out of town folk get that all the time.

We’ve had this discussion before.
There is absolutely no law stating that ammunition can only be purchased in one’s state of residence nor is there a federal law requiring I D to be shown other than proof of age which is left to the discretion of the salesperson.

Not trying to rub it in, but I seriously take for granted that I live on the PA border.
The closest gun shop to me is about 5 miles.......in PA.
Then there is a Dunhams about 20 miles away with a huge selection of guns and ammo. All the shops near the border sell NY compliant rifles.
One just had a deal for an "Anderson" AR with 250 rounds and a metal ammo can for $599. Might have been a decent deal for an entry level AR.......but I have no idea if thats a deal......it just sounded inexpensive too me. :)

There is a small but ridiculously well stocked shop in Mechanicsburg, which is right next to Harrisburg, called SPAR Firearms. They have a bewildering array of goodies in there including rare or hard to find items. They've had things like an SPAS-12 and the Coonan .357 1911 in there. They have a large selection of revolvers in there as well as just about any kind of black rifle/shotgun you can imagine. Pretty much anything your heart could desire. They don't stock much in the way of ammo though.

No, it wasn`t you, but i feel bad for you just the same as i do for my friend who just came back from there.

As far as i`m concerned, PHUCK all these 2A TRAITORS who won`t sell to NY gun owners. PHUCK`EM HARD!

As @Darth said above, put their phucking names in here! We can shame the SOB`s!

If a gun store in PA checks for id to confirm you're over 21, please name and shame because they're full of shit.

For the most part, yes. I could see big box stores like Cabela's and Walmart wanting to, but I've never been I'ded at any of the 7 or 8 small shops I frequent for non firearms purchases. Full disclosure I am 38 so no spring chicken.

Most do not care but when dealing with 'anything' NYS related, they want to stay in business. It's a small concern...

I try to frequent the smaller shops off the beaten path. The first thing I ask when I walk in is if they sell ammo to NY residents. Have not been told NO yet. Perhaps the bigger box stores will deny you. If I did get denied I will just walk out and go to the next shop. If they are okay with it and want to ID me, IDC as long as they aren't scanning it.

I can care less if they know I am from NY. I know the law and I am not breaking it. I refuse to walk around in fear like I am smuggling drugs across the border. If I get stopped in NY across the border and asked why I went to PA, I will tell them to visit family (which I do). Thats all they need to know.

I was IDed in an outdoor shop in Everett, PA. Juniata Trading company. Gave me a weird look when I gave him a NYS id and then rang me up. Many places do not care, others have an idea of what NYS is like and do not want to risk it.

That shop is only 30 minutes from me. Never been in there though. Next time you are out that way I highly recommend a trip to the Jean Bonnet Tavern. Excellent food and the place was first established from before the founding of the nation. George Washington held council and quartered troops there during the Revolutionary War.

I don't offer my ID unless I'm asked (here or out of State.).
And I don't say I'm from NY unless asked.

I was in Cabela's this past weekend... No questions asked. just paid and left. No one asked for my DOB or ID. Same for my friends that were with me.
