Saturday afternoon I went to my nearest gun shop and found a great deal on .223 ammo. This was Winchester and not the cheap steel cased stuff.
I was feeling some cash in my pocket getting really warm... so I went to the counter to buy some cases... I was going to wait till the gun show. But this was here and now.
Well - I could not buy as much as I wanted. I was told I was stockpiling and they had to limit the purchase. So I bought 1/2 which was fine - took it to the car, and went back in and bought the other 1/2. I was given dirty looks like no other - but I was given the sale anyways... because when I left I was no longer a customer and when I came back in I was a fresh customer again. (Clerk told me this and it irked the manager to no end.) They also denied me the sale of some .40 caliber ammo as I had reached what the manager said was the limit. I think the manager was just being a jerk... What limit? There was no sign - limit 2 per customer or anything...
Any ways - My concern here is am I guilty of stockpilling? By the way - we are talking 6 cases. That's not too much is it? I thought 10,000 rounds was stockpilling.
Oh well. I had some empty room in my Bug-Out Bag that needed filling. (and a couple guys who told me to pick them up some if I found a good deal- they paid me back thank god!)
