Ask to share your ammo

[Muddyboot]

Over the last few weeks I've been ask by few people (not close friends) if I would give or sell them ammo. These were people I work with, but don't know well on a personal level.

I politely declined, and suggested ways they could procure ammo for themselves. Anyone else had this experience?

Factory ammo OR handloaded reloads ???

My handloaded reloads are for me ONLY, liability consequences.

Factory ammo, I have plenty from accumulating, I've been selling off (but not all of it). I've been selling out the car trunk in the parking lot at a local store as their store has zero stock. The price is profitable for me and less for them had they bought at the elevated store prices, win for me and win for them.

I have been asked for ammo and firearms from former co-workers, neighbors, and two friends. I point them to a local trader forum. I did sell an AR to a former co-worker a month ago, but he is like a brother to me.

I have had many people ask me for ammo since they know that I have an abundance of inventory. I will not provide reloads to anyone other than two people that I am close to and am familiar with their firearms. I prefer to Trade Ammo rather than sell it as in this market, I hate to sell if for less than I could auction it off for, but hate to gouge people.

Factory, I would never sell my handloads...

I have sold one box of .38 spl, a box of 9mm and given away 2 bulk boxes of .22lr. I ain't selling or buying for this year and maybe next. Joe

Give or Sell ammo, "NOT".

Give or sell, NO.

Give or sell, NO.

You are a braver man than I to advertise on public media
you have all that. There are people that are good with computers that could figure out where you live in less than 20 minutes.
And that’s just the teenagers.

 

[sabashimon]

I have a very small circle of friends, and an even smaller circle of acquaintances, so no.

I have , in the past sold off factory stuff . I would / will never sell handloads . I DO NOT have a federal license to manufacture ammo for sale and the fine and prison time doesn't make it worth taking the chance , let alone the liability aspect of it all . NOPE , not worth it . Regards Paul

Wonder how good they are at cracking safes?

I pass some down to my Son and SIL.
They’ll be getting some for Xmas.
That’s it for me!

Ill sell to those Liberals who just now got the big picture all day long, and firearms too...1 Good SW Mdl 10 1 oz of Gold, 50 rds of Factory 38 Spl, 1 silver dollar per round. I remember when the 1992 LA Riots went on all gun sales in LA were haulted, Just over the LA County Line a small shop was selling pre Jan 1899 rifles for 500.00+ each, 5 rounds of ammo $20.00. Over 560 rifles sold in 1 day. Love it.

Haven't had anyone ask, but then I haven't been to the indoor range in 9 months! Wouldn't matter, I'm not letting any of mine go for any price

With the instruction videos circulating on the Net today they are likely quite good at "cracking" safes. Unfortunately instead of good, sound firearm instruction too many today's kids spend most of their time playing video games and studying how to commit criminal acts without getting caught.

 

[jbtrucker]

I gave away 25 rounds of SWC's with Model 10 sold a few months ago . Only one other gun guy where I work we keep mum though he did say had 5000 rds .22L .

 

[Electraclyde]

Most of my ammo is my hand loads. NO!!! I do not sell/loan or donate any ammo to anyone.

 

[Goldstar225]

The only person I provide ammo to is my son.

 

[PPS1980]

Ah, perhaps not so obvious a question given the responses: Why do all these people know you have an abundance of ammo?
