Claiming compliance with the sanctions.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile

Sorry about the mess of a thread. I was posting from my phone on the road.

Ok I'm home, so here's the full story.

I was at J & G sales today in the hopes of picking up a new toy or two. While I was in the store, the employees were working quickly to box up and cart off almost every box of ammo on the shelves. When I asked about purchasing some ammo, I was told that due to the sanctions and other uncertainties in the market, all ammunition was being pulled from the shelves and could not be sold.

There seemed to be some confusion about what was to be pulled, but it was very clear that it was not just Russian import ammo. They repeatedly talked about pulling all ammo that had other manufacturers making the same caliber (example: wolf makes .223, so all .223 must be pulled regardless of the origin.)

They wouldn't sell me anything ammo related, and were unsure of the future of firearms sales. I left after that.

Thanks for the update, I figured it was the Russian sanctions. It's ridiculous to pull everything.

Interesting. Does the distributor handle more than one manufacture of ammo or is it all from one particular source?

Likelihood of bullshit and post count number are not related.

Either you're bullshitting, you're being bullshitted, or the store did some bullshit like placing an order for ammo after the prohibition went into effect.

Either way, there's bullshit going on here.

Wait... Are you talking about a "distributor" or a STORE?
