On Saturday, 'Bennifer' went out shopping at a Savannah Mall where Affleck bought a shotgun, and sources say, $5,000.00 worth of ammo to go with it.

He had applied for a gun permit on Monday.

The couple also hit the Barnes and Noble, where Ben picked up a copy of David McCullough's John Adams biography and J-Lo bought some magazines.

The retail therapy continued Tuesday. A listener told a Savannah radio station that she ran into the couple at the Gateway Country Store that night shopping for a plasma TV. Earlier in the day, they had bought a pickup truck.

Armando Ramirez told the station that he had gotten the couple's autographs and Ben told him, 'Were back together.' No mention of marriage (word is she has given back the ring)

I thought Affleck was an anti gun liberal?

Betcha all that hanging around P. Diddy rubbed off on her, and now it has rubbed off on him...

I wonder why J Lo's men feel the need to have firearms handy?

[Joe Brower]

Only $5K of ammo? That would last me and my buddies about two days... $;-)

J-Lo needs that 'thug life' juice.. and Afflack! is trying to make it happen

"He had applied for a gun permit on Monday."


The old "scare away the press spying on you too closely" trick!

[Chancellor Palpatine]

You got a point. Nice whitebread boy like that is prolly a little short in the excitement department, now that she's been in that world a bit.

And they had applied for an FAA clearence over their house last weekend..

He had applied for a gun permit on Monday

What kind of "permit" does he need to buy a skeet gun in Georgia? According to my resources, no permit would be required to purchase any kind of gun. He would need a permit to carry a concealed weapon, but a skeet gun hardly seems concealable.

Paparazzi: Always in season and no bag limit. It's even legal to use bait (JLo) to lure them into the free fire zone.

Who bought the 20 million dollar island down there in Georgia, both of them?

[Tank-FL]

Bonnie & Clyde ?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I thought just him.

[rftc]

Affleck is a doofus, probably just trying to impress J-Ho..

Skeet shooting is trendy, though. It's all about style.

[rftc]

I was thinking more like pistols at 20 paces if Ben keeps going and losing millions to Larry Flynt's LA poker tables.

Looks like he replaced booze with high stakes poker for an addiction..

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Are they going to be the next "Bonnie and Clyde" duo?

[sarasota]

I read that he wants it for skeet.

[rftc]

Afflack! could probably pistol whip P. Diddy, that would be fun..

VH1's "It's Good to be J.Lo" said it was purchased by her.
