I think I'll just go to Wally World and get some 9mm. Can't shoot it till after deer season though.

Either I missed it in the past or have forgotten it.
Is it always on 19 November? If it is not on a fixed date, it sure would be better if it were on a Saturday.
19 November is a Wednesday and I doubt if I can make it then - - unless web purchases count?

Nando, there's more.
Kim DuToit started the thing last year. He picked November 19th because it's his birthday (for the heck of it). This year, he's trying to spread the word earlier and farther, and it's November 15th through 23rd, so you get two weekends. Web purchases count; everything counts.
The goal, as I read it, includes flexing some purchasing muscle. Having gun owners all buy ammo in a short period of time gives all kinds of folks, from marketing types to politicians, a sense that we matter. It's probably a good idea to communicate to the people you're buying it from that, "Why, yes -- I AM buying it now because it's National Ammo Day."
Mike - could ya see yer way clear ta buyin' a hunnerd rounds o' .22LR? It's fer a Good Cause.
(note: I expect to go heavy on the .22LR myself; I'm way broke now)

Good!
I'll go to as many stores* as I can and buy a couple of boxes of something and tell them. I usually buy over the net, but I want to let the stores (and especially the clerks) know what is going on.
* In the St. Louis area, at least:
Galyans
Bass Pro Shop
Walmart
several (real) Gun Shops

Think I'll buy some for guns I haven't even bought yet (extra incentive to start saving)!

Hmmm, I thought the Nov 19th Ammo Buycott was the result of a Nov 19 Ammo Boycott started by some anti?

Everyday is a good day to buy more ammunition.
If you order ammo online be sure and tell then that it is for National Ammo Day/Week
I wonder if the NRA or GOA would be interested in collecting copies of our sales reciepts to demonstrate how people CAN rally for a cause?

I'll be getting a bunch of .40 for my new Sig P229. I can't pick it up until next Friday because of our wonderful 10 day waiting period here.

Time to stock up on some .45, 9mm, and 12 ga.
I have sent inquiries to my local "Sporting Goods Stores" to see if they will be promoting "National Ammo BUYcott" day. also provided them with the link
www.Ammoday.com
and reminded them that I will be buying much more if I see a return on my $$ spent with them.
Sent ???'s to Dicks Sporting Goods, Dunhams Discount Sports, and Gander Mountain. Will post replies, if any. Galyan's has just opened a store here in Greater Cleveland, but haven't been in yet.
{Store in is Legacy Village, a new "mall' in one of the Eastern Burbs of Cleveland, Lyndhurst, I think} Mall has over 3,400 employees, but less than 3,000 parking spaces. Soooo, I haven't been in Galyan's yet.

We're very tight on money right now, but maybe we could get 100 rounds of .38 special and a 500 brick of .22.

Thanks, Mike, but actually, it's kinda important to buy it on or around the 19th (of November).

Count me in
Although I don't know where I will store it. Guess I will just have to go to the Range, and burn a few hundred rounds so I will have the room

I'm heading over to the local range to buy 100 rounds of 9mm ammo to use on the MP5 they have for rent there. I could use it. This crap on NPR that the boss here forces us to listen to is full of whining socialist blissninnies. Hearing these hypocritical 'progressive' blissninnies ticks me off to no end.

Two for two!
Well, now I've participated in both National Ammo Days so far. Just bought 100 rounds of .41 mag.
Happy BD, Kim!
