The most unpleasant places to shop in the area are the gun stores. I do not find it very comfortable to shop in a place where the salespeople pack heat. So lately I have been buying my ammunition online. The prices are almost half as much as what you see at a retail outlet - a Russian made 50 pack of 9x18 caliber ammo is about $15 while the retail stores charge $25 for an allegedly inferior US made product.
The biggest problem is that due to the gun control laws, UPS can't leave the package at my door when it arrives. So I am confined to the house waiting for the delivery guy to arrive. Not having a tracking number (the online stores are staffed by equally unpleasant folk who do not provide tracking numbers) does not help.
Update: After the second attempt at delivery, I successfully received the package. The hassles seem to be worth so I recommend the gun-owning US based readers of this blog to get their ammunition online.

ReplyDeleteIt is extra burden. Does it really help to have a gun for protection? In my opinion it is more trouble than good.
ReplyDeleteYou think I like it? But since guns are available easily, you better have one just in case.
ReplyDeleteYet another downside of living in the "real" America--nobody I know has a gun.
ReplyDeleteQuite a lot of the people I know have guns at home. Normally, you wouldn't worry about the people you know. it's the ones whom you don't know that are the problem.
ReplyDeleteYou can't really stand against someone armed with coconut shells while the other one is holding a firearms. You need an equal playing ground.

ReplyDeleteOn the other hand as a friend said the righ to carry a gun is a sign of human liberty. I agree in that because in that case it doesn't become a state monopoly.
ReplyDeleteIn Swiss direct democracy in order to vote in a communal gathering you need to show your family sward. It serves as a mandate.

You:
ReplyDeleteA) Lock it up.
B) Keep it under your pillow.
Result:
A) "Wait a sec, I'm going to get the gun so you don't shoot me."
B) You shoot somebody sleeping next to you, "accidentally."
Alright, I get the point. It's all a little "drama queen" if you ask me.
