I don't think the DUmmies would have been pleased with the conversation I had at the local sporting goods store the other day.
Most of the ammo counter was (per usual) bare, save for about 10 boxes of 62-grain .223 rounds which were going for $24.95/box. Yeah, I'm not paying $1.25 a round, even if they are hunting versus target rounds. The discussion regarding Obama/Biden wasn't, shall we say, "favorable" to put it mildly.
And I'll be damned if I can find ANY .45 ACP anywhere at any price.
Some one knows were to get it Sparky. My town has a sportsman club close enough to my house to hear rounds being fired at the range. Have you checked the Maine stores for Ammo, the Trading Post in Kittery has in the past every thing one wanted.
10 years ago the cost to join the club was around $50.00 a year, lots going on unfortunately we both were placed on 2nd. shift and could only shoot on Sundays mid day. But we did meet some interesting people, and see some weapons I did not know existed outside the military.
Join a club no idea what the cost to join today but there will be someone there to give you a heads up on private sales of .45 ACP--- what ever that is.
Sea, this Club is about 4 miles on the road from me, we got membership cards at a local Gun Shop and a key to get into the property. Nice place as I remember it, perhaps a 2 minute drive on a dirt road in the forest, then a well kept range. I brought my Rottie to get her use to gun fire, she was a trooper. Steady as a rock or bird dog.
Back then kids would sit on top of the roofs of cars or trucks to watch their parents shoot, have a picknick as Mommy went down to shoot at the targets.
I admit I was somewhat surprised at the number of girls 8+ dressed up in ear muffs with very serious looks on their faces headed out to shoot, the parents were raising children to survive in a crazy world.
