Hit Wallyworld this a.m. to pic up a few things and there in the ammo case were Remington 225rd boxes for 11.97 each, limit 3, so I bought three. That left five for others. Two sets of gentlemen had come in about the same time as me and saw the ammo and headed back to get their FOID cards from the car.
One set of them was a couple guys I know that cruise all the WallyWorlds in the area for ammo. One commented on the way past me,
Good there are eight left so six more are ours. By the time they got back, the two other guys had grabbed the last five boxes.
The other guys came back and were P.O.'ed they got "robbed" of the ammo. As they left after giving the clerk a hard time, one commented to the other "good thing we got those 6 boxes earlier today with that other clerk".....Glad they did not get those last five boxes.
My three boxes will be gone over the next couple of weeks as I am taking a newbie out to the range with his new Ruger SR22. He could never find ammo to shoot, but now he will have plenty....[:)]

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Is this card sized more like a poster or something?
Please illuiminate me. [?]
Not being from Illinois or somewhere that requires a card, I don't understand why a person wouldn't carry his or her FOID around with him or her instead of leaving it in the car.

Yeah, I did not understand that either....all of the guys looked like they were working construction. So I guess they all left their wallets in the vehicles. I carry mine like another ID or card all the time. They are about the size of a DL and actually have the same PIC on them as your Illinois DL.....
I guess I just don't understand wanting to deny someone else something you yourself wanted. Sounds like liberal logic.
NEVERMIND
As for the "liberal" braying, I have no idea what that's about. Strikes me at a lame attempt at humor, or a lame attempt at insult, or just lame. Whatever.
Have you ever consider leaving this forum? You don't seem very happy here.
Too old to live...too young to die...

I pose the same question to you.

Glad to hear someone who wants to shoot the ammo for enjoyment got it for the normal price. That gougers got screwed is entirely good news too, like icing on the cake! [:)]
My Buddy scored an ammo can at Dicks of the M-22 2000 rounds for 129.00
[:D][:D]Glad I got these,have a feeling with our new jungle lane guns .22 ammo isn't going to last long.

Worked retail .. always wondered why people came in shopping and when found something to buy, had to go out to the car to get their money.
Some people are just stupid, regardless of the billions poured into the public education system.

Now that is true, most people are stupid.
Mr. Perfect: I think it's fairly obvious that W81 was happy these guys who are obviously scooping up all the 22 ammo they can (likely for resale) were denied a score on this occasion. They are likely profiteers and I also would not want to see them succeed.

I guess the same applies to you then, does it not? Liberal logic does seem to infest those in institutions of higher learning, so I'm not at all surprised. As for my contentment with this forum, it should go without saying that I am perfectly happy here.
