If you have the opportunity, then just mail a bunch to yourself and bring a few back too

FYI

Just rec'd email from Mec-Gar that their magazines should be available by the end of May/first of June

I normally would be reluctant to give away this kind of source, but ACADEMY sports in Charlotte/Concord North Caroline has their Fiocchi .30 Luger ammo on sale for 1/2 price: that's 14.75 box 50. I bought a 1,000 rounds because this is cheaper than reloading. Starline wants almost 25.00/100 for the unprimed brass.

Do they have a website?

This might be relevant, but I don't see the .30 Luger listed.

I think they're having trouble implementing the plan, as anyone with half a brain could have predicted, because this is quit a burden for any retailer who wants to sell ammo. Last time I was checking WalMart for WWB in 9mm, there was a little sign taped up to inform us that a pistol permit is required for purchases of pistol ammo.

A background check just to buy ammo!? Geeze... so glad I didn't move back to NY when I had the chance.

I know that the Concord and Kannapolis stores have the .30 Luger in stock and on clearance. The Concord Mills store had around 20 boxes on display Saturday, 5/3/14. I don't think that you can get this off the web. In store clearance, and I am shocked that it hasn't sold-out.

I'm not sure it's even up and running--I haven't purchased any ammo since last year. Some places used to ask to see a pistol permit when pistol ammo was purchased. Wal Mart was one that did. I'll find out if the regulations are being applied now and report back.

We don't need a list of gun owners, it is obvious now because many have signs posted on their front lawns "Repeal the NY S.A.F.E. Act". One of life's little ironies, in that there was such an uproar over the Westchester(?) County list of permit holders that was published. Now, those who do post a sign are revealing themselves as gun owners. But I guess in this case, it's a choice made by each individual, not imposed by others.

I've thought about leaving, but would need to prune many roots, at this point. Sad when the gov't makes it difficult to enjoy one's passion AND be near family and friends. Maybe I should have stayed in Texas 40 years ago, but then again, maybe somebody needs to stay in NY to resist/counter this idiotic legislation?

Bulletin: Mec Gar has blue Luger magazines in stock! I just ordered 2 and they claimed that they've been shipped.
