    Is it legal to sell ammo person to person or online in KS?

    As others stated, ship via UPS or FEDEX but be aware that some of the franchise locations like Fedex/Kinkos or Mailboxes etc. may not accept ammo for shipment. You may have to take it to the Fedex or UPS hub.

    Gun Auction

    I work in maintenance in a high rise office building. I once overheard and attorney in a corner office on the phone explaining to a prospective client that his rate was $500/hour. You never know who you are bidding against, especially in an online auction.

    Steel mil spec ammo cans. If he does not use them to store ammo, he can put together an emergency kit for his vehicle. They have 100's of uses.

    To use Tulammo 38 Special or not?

    My concern with Tula ammo is the steel jacketed bullets. I cannot provide solid evidence that they are harder on barrels, but it seems like a bad idea to me. Just my opinion. I feel better not sending steel down my barrels.

    Supporting local gun shops

    I try to support my local gun stores, when I can do it without my wallet taking a beating. I support one by paying $15 every week to shoot a bowling pin match at their range. I will purchase used guns from the local stores if they are reasonable on price. Even if the price is $50-$75 more than I...

    I bought 13 boxes of 16 gauge shot shells, 60 rounds of Winchester white box .308 ammo and 2000 large rifle primers at the gun club swap meet the Day before the Orlando attack. I have been stocking up on reloading supplies for the last 18 months. I'm in good shape.

    .22LR ammo is now available, but where?

    Kansas City - I spoke with my buddy today and he said he had scored some more Winchester 333 rounds for $17.xx at Walmart again. He works second shift and he gets out in the morning to shop for his elderly father, so whenever he is at Walmart he checks. Sounds like it is getting better. He has...

    saving gun boxes

    Save them! I purchased a blue plastic Colt factory box for a Python several years ago on eBay. I felt kinda silly paying $30 for and empty box, but I could probably sell it for $50 today.

    .22LR ammo is now available, but where?

    Kansas City - a friend got lucky at Walmart 6-8 weeks ago and purchased Winchester 333 round boxes for $17 and change. A few weeks later, I saw someone purchasing a box of them at my neighborhood gun store for $34 and change. I have not seen bulk packs at a reasonable price for several months...

    I work in facilities in an office building. I received a call from a tenant one day: "We have several cases of expired soda in our storage room. Do you guys have a flat cart and could you help us get rid of this?" I'll be right there!! Aluminum soda cans filled with water are great for...

    Which Blackhawk is your favorite?

    Hondo60 said: You'd be wise to try it in your hand before you buy. I could not agree more! My first was a regular Blackhawk .357/9mm convertable with 6.5" barrel. I soon learned that I really dislike the regular Blackhawk grip frame - especially with a longer barrel. I put a Hogue Monogrip...

    Yearly Gun Expenditure

    Got the booze covered. At my current rate of consumption - approximately 1.5 liters per year - I have a 6-7 year supply of whiskey. I can't say much about profit as I have only sold one gun (traded toward credit on a much nicer gun, actually). One thing I know for sure: I will get a lot more...

    .22 still hard to find?

    It has gotten better in the past year, but I certainly would not say it is readily available. Empty shelves are still the norm here in Kansas City. I have found a 325 pack of Federal Auto Match at Cabela's & Scheel's and maybe 600 rounds from Academy (2 50 round box limit per customer). A friend...

    What would you tell yourself back then?

    My advice to my younger self in 1992: Listen knucklehead, in a couple of years, you are going to attend a gun auction near Columbia, MO. There will be three Colt Python's in the auction; a hunter model with scope and camo finish from the factory and two fully engraved with factory certificates...
