Buy ammo online, get visit from DHS?

[McMedic]

One northern Warren County resident found out recently the government is paying attention to such ammunition sales.

West said a customer of his recently stocked up on .223-caliber rounds, a caliber often used in assault-style weapons. The customer bought 1,000 rounds a few months ago through a mail order company.

Shortly after the purchase, he received a visit from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, whose interest was apparently piqued by a large-scale purchase of that caliber.

Interesting...

Guess they'll be coming by my house this week,maybe i should bake some cookies,lol.

 

[cajungunslinger]

thats a shame. cant even buy ammo anymore without being questioned.

 

[optiic]

That's really messed up...

I've bought way more then that and no one came knocking but this should be a big red flare to all of us. If this person got a visit for 1k rounds I wonder what my file looks like? What does yours look like? Are we all labeled agitators or something like that?


Does anyone know where the black market is in Prairieville? I'd like to get off the radar.

Soon, it wont just be online orders but every time you buy ammo. When the Ammo Accountability Act goes into effect theres gunna be no way around it. Then there will be limits to how much you can buy in a certain timeframe.

we're screwed

Even if they were visiting ammo purchasers, 1000 rounds just isn't enough to get their attention. They got LOTS of other things to deal with.

If true, easy solution: Slam the door in their face. Or don't answer it in the first place. If they aren't busting in no reason to open up.

I guess i am in trouble then because I just bought 880 rds of 7.62x54R, I have an order for 670 rds of 30-06 and placed another order for 500 rds of .30 cal carbine.

 

[GBob01]

The last order I placed was 2500 rds. No one paid me a visit.

i refuse to even talk in this thread until i speak to my attorney

 

[tactical723]

There is no way HLS paid a visit just for that reason, something else had to be trigger, threats against gov't, printed hate docs, something else

They must be waiting for an APC to get free before knocking on LACarry's door! He ordered enough mags to supply a small army!

 

[yamatitan]

Think im gonna get a visit for the 20 30rd pmags and the 1k rounds of 5.56 i ordered?

Why is there no way? Its basically a military round that a civilian is buying.

they're cracking down man.

 

[SeventhSon]

Whatever. If that were true they would have stopped by my house when I ordered 20 AR mags, 20 M1A mags and 1500 rounds for each rifle the night of the election.

Got to be more to the story, I have ordered 300lbs of ammo twice last year and the only grief I got for it was from my UPS man.
