Our gun shop makes sure that everyone who purchases a firearm has ammo. It pisses some off that we won’t sell the ammo we have without a firearm purchase, but that is tough.

I think that is the right move. Anyone purchasing a gun for self defense needs the ammo. Most people looking to buy just ammo are either stocking up or foolishly went out and blew off a few hundred rounds for fun. The store I was at was not a sportsman store, they sell weapons and ammo in a department. For ammo they had only 20/12 gauge buck and bird shot. They could have been honest and recommend the buyer purchase a 12 gauge, because that is about all that is left in most stores. At least they could have ammo to FAM fire the weapon.

I hunt and shoot for fun. I have all the ammo I need. Whatever ammo I buy now is to stock up. Funny thing is I do see .22 long rifle more often then not. This time around nobody seems interested in the .22 rifles. Daughter was on a shooting team back when every one was buying up the .22 long rifle ammo. So she would have ammo for competition I brought around 4000, rounds. She did not need nearly that much between practice and competition. So if I feel like target shooting, I can take the .22s out and have fun for a month of Sundays.
