What happens to ammo accumulations when . . .

[bushmaster1313]

Maybe I should have posed the differently. What I meant was:

"What is supposed to be done with a big stash of ammo when the one now in control of the stash: does not like guns, has no clue what to do with ammo, and lives on a jurisdiction like NJ that is very restrictive."

Sounds like we're moving from a hypothetical to a present situation now.

Don't know about NJ, but here in Arizona it can be turned in to the police department to be disposed of. Happens all the time, and not a big deal at all here.

Yeah, that woulda got you a better answer quicker, but you probably get that all the time . . .

Have the person that does not like guns give you the ammo. Keep what you need for yourself, friends, and go to the next gun show in Pa and sell the rest. Problem solved. If you check the laws in regard to ammo, it is not illegal to transport across state lines, you may not be able to buy or sell, online,across state lines due to state laws, but there is no federal law that would prevent you from taking a gift in nj and using or selling it in Pa. You are not "buying" it, you are over 21, you are not a felon. Be Safe,

Oh, dear, you're dealing with a jerkwad.....sorry.......

Answer 2:

First and foremost, keep every round that fits a firearm that you own. If the person in possession wants money for the ammunition then so be it - make a reasonable payment and get it all.

Next, check with your shooting buddies to see what they need of the ammo you don't want. Sell it or give it to them.

If you can't do what is recommended in Answer 1 then take what's left and just drop it off at an LGS or shooting range if there is one and if you can't find an LGS then just give it to the local police to deal with.

Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. This is not rocket science.

NJ state firearms regs

https://www.state.nj.us/njsp/info/pdf/firearms/njac-title13-ch54.pdf

Searched this entire document for everywhere that the word ammunition is used and could find no reference to the transfer of ammunition between private, non retail business, parties.

So now that we know NJ is the location, show your FPID/DL to your friend who wants no part of the ammo. Take possession of said ammo, then pm me if you are interested in getting rid of it. If not, just let your friend know someone (me) is interested in the ammo and will pick it up. I have only been ever asked if I was able (FPID) to purchase, and had ID (DL) to show I was who the FPID said I was. Good luck in helping out your friend.

The compulsive folks won't agree, but don't worry about problems that aren't problems.

^^^what he said! Apologies to Will Rogers, I never met a box of ammo I didn't like. If you're dealing with a worrywart, offer some $. Keep it and say nothing. A lot of people out there don't like guns, even in gun-friendly states. You don't need someone calling 911, that you have 1000s of rounds of ammunition. I've seen and read sensationalized news items treating a few boxes of .22RF as though it were an ammo dump. Yet ammo changes hands all the time at garage and moving sales. If you're a gun guy/gal, don't turn ammo in to the local PD. That's for the antis who hate guns.

BTW, in times of shortages, I have very few friends. If they had $ to buy guns, they had $ for ammo.

I'd keep all the .22s since that's all I shoot these days and divvy it up between all my friends. Arizona is a free state and no problems giving ammo to friends and family. I think I would find a dealer to take any ammo that I couldn't find a home for.

It still doesn't seem complicated. Find out what the law requires, then either shoot, hoard, sell, gift or turn it in to the state if that's required.

Every time I went crazy I bought ammo.

Only time I felt I needed to dispose of ammo was for age and condition and it was accepted by local law enforcement.

. I did and only saw info about retail sales, not private transfers? Be Safe,

A few years ago a larger LGS had a few auctions for the state, three auctions I think about a month or more apart.
The owners of the guns and ammo could no longer keep them legally and the state took them. Lots of speculation as to why but I dont know, other than they a were now a prohibited person.

Anyway, lots of guns for sale and loads of ammo boxes full of new ammo. All neatly packed in ammo cans with desiccant bags. Also reloading equipment and supplies, ammo cans full of bullets.

I bought several cans of 308, the stores were getting $.65 a round, I paid $.30 and it came with and ammo can and on Garand clips. Yes, the auction had a a few 308 Garands, ugly things with scopes.

My friend got a nice 8"M41 and a Mint 8" 686 with combats in the box. I bought a mint HKPD M10 and 308 ammo and lead 45s.

So I'd guess if you cant keep your ammo fort, it can be sold off or auctioned.

What ammo?

 

[Grayfox]

I guess it depends on the state you're in. My best friend passed a few years ago and had thousands of rounds of ammo in his stockpile. I kept some for myself, but sold the majority of it for his wife. Here in Tennessee it wasn't any problem at all.
