Most Interesting Conversation with an Anti...

[GhostlyKarliion]

All right, there I was working at Wal-Mart this morning about 5 am, 2 hours until I get off work. The day shift is starting to come in and I am having a brief conversation with a co-worker about what we are going to use our bonus checks for. My co-worker told me about his plans (which were rather comical, involving beer, a boat, fishing lure, and a scoped rifle) and then asked me about my plans, now about halfway through his story a woman walks up from day shift and starts listening in, when asked what I was going to do with my bonus, I replied:

"First thing I am going to do is have (the sporting goods department manager) order me ten thousand rounds of twenty two ammunition"

To which I was interpreted "you’re kidding right?"

"No, 19 bricks of Federal .22lr, come out to around a hundred and seventy or so"

To which she proceeded to tell me that if I tried to buy that much ammo the FBI would be knocking down my door and that it was against the law and 'you'll never use that much anyway', as well as the other nonsensical bull-hockey

arg, it is so annoying to have to deal with these kind of people, no wonder people hate Wally-World so much.

Sometimes I think that it is easier to let people live with their delusions.

I don't think you were talking to an Anti-Gun person as much as you were talking to a Know-it-all.

 

[Caimlas]

Yep, what he said... and, leftists and gun grabbers are just dogmatic know-it-alls, I should note.

My current favorite response to such drivel is:

"Stop acting-out your Freudian* inadequacies through attempted exertion of external control."

* If they're a leftist, the Freud reference will make them cry. That's their job!

 

[Old Fuff]

Be sure to invite the young lady over to the sporting goods counter when you pick up your ammunition...

 

[xd45gaper]

well did you get your ammo?

i would have told her 10k isnt that much when you are buying 500 at a time

 

[skinnyguy]

Sarcastic reply; If the FBI does come knocking on my door, I'm gonna do my best to use all of it!

Non-sarcastic reply; I can use that much ammo, but hey, if you want to come out to the range with me, see how much fun it is to just plink around at cans and stuff, it would only take me half the time to use it, when can you make it?

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

...the FBI would be knocking down my door ...it was against the law...

Take a deep breath, take your hand off your CCW, and move on

'you'll never use that much anyway'

I'd come in every Monday and give her an update on how many rounds I have used. "I finished off another thousand rounds over the weekend, Gladys!"

 

[ZeSpectre]

"I finished off another thousand rounds over the weekend, Gladys!"

STOP IT, I'm gonna wet my pants!

 

[Christianninja]

I realise the "FBI knocking down your door thing" is completely idiotic, but is there some kind of system in place where a red flag goes up if someone orders/purchases X amount of ammo or firearms at one time?

I suppose the only way that could really work is if you were purchasing with a credit card...

Forgive me, I am young and ignorant, but is there anything like this going on that we know of?

I was once confidently informed by a relative that doing such things "puts your name on lists."

 

[Zundfolge]

One thing I find sad is that not only does this person believe the FBI would "knock down your door" for purchasing "too much" ammo, but that this person also sees nothing wrong with the FBI "knocking down your door" for purchasing "too much" ammo!

America is doomed.

Laughter is always the best response.

"is there some kind of system in place where a red flag goes up if someone orders/purchases X amount of ammo or firearms at one time?"
If memory serves, yes - multiple gun purchases happening at the same time (more than two, I think - a dozen or so in a week might draw attention) might get Agent Schmuckatelli watching you for a few days. To the best of my knowledge, there's nothing in multiple purchases that would cause Agent S. to come smashing in your door, backed by Janet Reno with a flamethrower, however. They might watch your house from a distance, to make sure you weren't acting as a straw purchaser, and operating a 'guns for drugs' program:
"Honest, officers, I was trying to get drugs of the street with these guns. I promised that, for a certain weight of cocaine/heroin/LSD, I would give them a shiny new HiPoint. It works!"

In Texas, ammo purchases are not recorded with your name to them, as far as I know. You show them your ID, they make sure the birthdate is the right time period (born before this date on 1989.../1986), take your cash, hand you the receipt. Theretofore, unless Agent Schmuckatelli happens to be skulking within earshot, there should be no 'flags' on you.

I see, I see.

Thanks for the info!

"you'd never need that much anyway"
You reply, Yes ma'am i do. There is a killer deer in my yard. I think it's name is bambi. I am a really bad shot ma'am and i fear for my family's safety. Do you think i ordered enough?
Seriously, ignore her, who cares what she says. Watch what you say when she is within earshot.

 

[The-Fly]

Only if she could see my reloading room

FBI or ATF hasn't knocked yet.......guess I don't have enough

 

[BADUNAME13]

Nobody called me when I ordered 15,000 rounds of .308...
(My largest order to date)

At Academy they walk you to the front of the store (Carrying the ammo)
I always use my CCW for ID!
