I understand internet sales for those who buy thousands of rounds at one time but if you think your ability to continue to purchase ammo over the internet, you better make damn sure you go to the polls next year. In the meantime, support your LGS and thank them for being in business.
I agree with this support local theory. I always check with the local shops before an online purchase. It's a tough racket and not a lot of margin especially on guns. Where shops make their loot is accessories, holsters, cleaning stuff etc.
I usually am not buying new stuff and often times find stuff that local shops can't even get so at least the one shop doesn't mind doing the transfers.
Our other local shop quit doing gun transfers for online purchases all together, says he don't have the people to track down paperwork and stuff.
The downfall is they are almost always at least a 100 bucks higher than anybody else. I dont know how he stays in business but must be folks that don't do their homework buying there.
I can't afford to just pay the 100 bucks to support them. I don't blame any shop for making a profit, they have to but seems like they could spread it around a little more or something.
I've never bought ammo or guns from Walmart, usually no help around if I wanted to. Rarely buy from Cabela's, like to look there but usually lousy help and take a number for the help too. Then it takes forever to process the paperwork.
