I have to agree with Jeff White and several of the others. She was just making conversation.
Now for the part that upsets me.
Some of you people are way too sensitive. You take offense at the slightest perceived indiscretion. You would insult someone, threaten their job, insinuate that you have a machine gun, intimidate and try to terrorize them, for making conversation and maybe showing an interrest in your hobby.
Instead of taking offense and acting like the red neck, tobacco chewing, beer drinking, gun shooting, a$$h013 you think they are implying you are, talk to them in a civilized way. Tell them you are going target shooting, or replenishing stock or what ever and if they show more interrest, maybe you could invite them along the next time you go shooting.
Why you automatically assume that anyone who talks to you is an anti, I'll never understand. But I do know this.
If you behave the way some of the responders here have suggested, you will create many, many people with bad feelings about shooters and more than a few anti's.
Me? Hell, I'm flattered when someone shows an interrest in something I enjoy.
Now GET OVER YOURSELVES, not everyone who talks to you about your ammo purchases is in need of rude treatment.

Oh, just a follow up question, how would you react to the same question asked in a gun shop or at the sporting goods counter at wally world?
