Lowe’s Market in Canyon Lake now sells bullets between its ATM and ice machines.
The Sattler store recently placed an American Rounds ammunition vending machine by its entrance.
With the swipe of a driver’s license customers can now purchase ammo for handguns, shotguns and rifles.
“It’s as secure as going to Walmart or Academy,” said an employee who asked not to be identified.
Lowe’s expects to add another vending machine at its Startzville/Canyon Lake location in the near future.

Why not?
Do I really have to go and look up what state Canyon Lake is in?
Local News for Canyon Lake, Texas
Why not put that in the article? Lazy journalist’s.
Don’t use them.
They are operated by AI.
If you are against gun registration don’t volunteer to these people that you own guns.
Your credit card info will be collected recorded and will be in a private data base Incase they ever want to find you and send you to an internment camp.
Why not? indeed!
As the old saying goes ... Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be the name of a convenience store. :)
Texas! First Alabama, then Oklahoma now Texas! Why not go back to the days before Dec 1968 when a 14 year old boy could walk into a store and buy a box of .22s for 45 cents! No questions asked. I did it in 1961! And GUNS were available everywhere!
Guns were more available then as you could get a gun at a gas station, pawn shop, hardware store, clothing store, record shop, book store, liquor store, feed store, grocery store. They were everywhere! Cash and carry. No background check, no waiting period, no paperwork. No ID, Just look old enough.
Or you could drop a check in the mail and one would be shipped to your door.
No school shootings back then, mass murders rare. Three I can remember were mass murders was one in 1949 New Jersey with a Luger pistol,
1966 Richard Speck no guns involved. he used a knife and strangling cord, and Charles Whitman using a bolt action rifle.
Drive up and down the highway in my city in Arizona and there is always 4-5 people selling guns and ammo on the side of the road on the weekends.
.45 cents? You were living pretty high on the hog shooting long rifle 22’s. Dad made me buy shorts at .25 cents, occasionally I got long if I could find an extra dime in the couch cushions. My Remington burnt up a lot of 22 shorts. My Remington nylon single shot cost 19.95 at KMart in 1961. I got one just like it in my safe. It cost me a lot more when I finally found another. They only made 4000 or so back then. It feels really good when I shoulder it. Muscle memory still works at 72. I wore out a dog or two running those Missouri hills back then. Some day I’ll shoot this one. It looks new and I haven’t broke down and done it yet. Vending machine or Kemps store, if dad was still alive I’d still just get 25 cents. 🙂
I like the ID technology Have this outfit make an equally secure machine like it for VOTING!
So a permanent electronic record?
We have been to this store!
God bless Texas!
Seen that in NW Tucson area.
Assume it is reloads and that slows me down.
Factory ammo would be of interest, but I have never stopped to see what is is.
When I canoed down that “river” there was not enough people for two gas stations.
My idea, back when Murderapolis (Minneapolis) was a thing, I advocated a chain of vending machines called “Vend-A-Round”, which would dispense common calibers at a dollar per round.
The plan was to put them on every other street corner, to help the thugs take each other out faster.
My vision never caught on, but the spirit of the effort still lives...they’re still killing each other at a rapid rate.
At a buck a round, I’d have gotten rich in short order.
What do you have against reloading, I've done it since I was about 12. I was hunting with the men at that age and very good at hunting quail and dove.
I buy very little factory ammo now. But never sell any, that is probably illegal and also risky because of liability.
But, I won't run out of ammo.
As if they don’t already know one has weapons and ammo.....
I leave as sparse a trail as I can.
I pay cash, I buy second hand firearms.
Don’t make it easy on them.
