Ammo now sold in vending machines

Great idea.

My mother spoke of buying 22LR ammo in the grocery stores for .25 a box (not a brick) when she was young and even I @ 71 remember in the early 60's seeing the same for .50 a box. The ammo was on open shelves too, not hidden behind the counter like it was something evil.

The ammunition kiosks operate in nearly a dozen grocery stores across Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama and Colorado. Fresh Value, Lowe?s Market and Super C Mart. Just a few stores so far but definitely a step in the right (and right wing) direction.

Problem is: if these vendors are like chips and soft drinks the price will be double of what it can be bought for off the shelf.

And.... The first time someone makes a scene firing a gun in the streets or at someone and claims they bought the ammo from a vending machine the commie news media will bad mouth the availability of such ammo 24/7.

Unlike voting, I'm sure some form of ID will need to be presented.

Still, a right turn of events.

When I lived in Spring Lake, North Carolina, mid '60's, I bought 22rf off the shelf at the local grocery store.

Remember when you had to sign for handgun ammo? Everything that might remotely be used for handgun ammunition was much the same as buying a gun. Thankfully that was repealed.

This was years ago but I bought 4 bricks of 22LR at Academy Sports. The salesperson escorted me to the cashier when I left. I asked him why he didn't put a gun to my back as well.
