Why don't you elaborate more on exactly what they did. All you said is they stopped in front of your house to fill out some type of report.

If 1700 rounds brings the police by your place then they need to open a sub-station outside of mine
Could be that the cop just picked your place to park while filling out paper work. There's nothing to be seen from the outside that they don't know about you anyway. They'd get much more information with a database search or a knock at the door. Sitting at the curb the guy can get an idea of the color of your house, it's general layout and what color curtains you have. I'll promise you that Eric didn't report you so that would mean the delivery people did if your conclusions are correct. |

So how do you know they "sent" someone over to check out your place?
Did you just happen to see a cop sit in front of your house for a while and assume that? Or did you speak with him? That's not a lot of ammo. I typically order 2k or more at a time. |

It is definitely possible that he just stopped out front to fill out something unrelated... But the street I live on is not "just off" a main street... I live deep in a subdivision.
Maybe im just paraniod that we are turning into an orwellian society. Was not implying that ammoman is "reporting" us. I am a satisfied customer and will continue to take advantage of his great prices. Maybe UPS... All he did was stop outside for 15 minutes, remained in the car filling out some paperwork and ocasionally glancing at the house. -allan |

Or maybe the officer knew it was a quiet street so he could park there and do some "important" paperwork in relative peace and quiet. He was probably looking around every once in a while so that he stayed familiar with hsi surroundings...... |

You should have taken some of that ammo and shot at him. That would have taught "them" a lesson for parking in front of your house!!!
WE cant stand for coincidences like this. What's next? A police officer being on the same road that you are, after buying some ice cream? THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!!!! BISHOP |

I never buy loaded ammo and have it shipped to the house, but the only reason is the shipping costs. We have enough gun shows here that you can buy bulk and save $$. Many of you must be too young to remember the days of "signing the book" (Federal law) every time you purchased any ammo that would fit in a handgun. |

Funny, the same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago, except it was 2 cop cars! My wife was home and she called me at work, said there were 2 cop cars out front. I only live a mile away, and I came home right away and they were gone. I had taken delivery of some parts the day before. Probably a coincidence.

Dam, I saw that patrol car in front of your house. Did you notice the black helicopters flying overhead? Oh, you didn't hear them because they had mufflers. Try wrapping your ammo in tin foil so the thermal imaging cameras don't pick it up. (I am really sorry but I couldn't resist!)

(1) Cops have to fill out paperwork SOMEWHERE.
(2) They want to do this in a quiet place, without much traffic, where they feel safe... as they are looking at the paperwork and not at their surroundings. (3) They don't want to be perceived by the general public as "goofing off", so he was probably glancing around to see if anyone was taking notice of him. I have walked up on a cop doing his homework, to ask if everything was alright. I startled him, and he seemed a little upset (with himself) that I surprised him. I just received ammo (from ammoman) and no cops or black choppers here. |

Yesterday morning , I went to the local donut shop & TWO police cruisers pulled up at the same time!![(:)] Both of the officers followed me into the donut shop & ordered donuts right after I did. In fact one of them ordered some chocolate iced rings & the other ordered some cinnamon sugar donuts. I ordered chocolate ice rings & cinnamon sugar donuts too!!!!!! [:O] Then when I left they where right behind me on the way out of the parking lot BUT I drove the long way home to make sure they weren't following me!! WHEW!! Creepy! [shock] |

I used to buy a fair amount of .22LR in those days at Montgomery Wards. Good deals, dumb clerks. It's amazing how much ammo Mickey Mouse & Superman bought. Donald Duck bought a black powder revolver kit, too. |

Did all of you already forget about the member here who ordered 16 lbs of smokeless powder and was visited by the cops after UPS snitched on him? Maybe all5n's experience was just a coincidence, but given all of the "domestic terrorist" hysteria that is sweeping the country, it would not surprise me if the private carriers (UPS especially) aren't "accidently" breaking open gun related packages and informing the cops like good little sheep.

Don't make fun of Black Helicopters... its a bad feeling. I brought a house once with several hundred tomato plants under pine trees in the back yard. The day of closing I went for the final inspection in the morning and saw blades about a foot over the top of the roof. Went in the back yard to see what was up... Flat Black Helicopter with no markings, quiet mode, and guy in full tactical gear hanging off the side with one foot on the skid. He was checking out the tomatoes... pulled them all up that evening. Not funny... always believed the Black Helicopters were a joke. The pilot was very good, he only had six feet on either side to work with...

Sounds a wee bit paranoid. Then again, I ordered several thousand rounds in various calibers from Ammoman and had the same thoughts, but mostly that some dumb neighbor would piss their pants and turn me in as a terrorist and then I would have to "explain" myself to some grumpy cops who always seem to assume the worst.
The UPS guy delivered 100lbs. of ammo in five boxes (all clearly marked with Fiocchi and other things suggesting the contents). The UPS guy didn't even bat an eyelash. This being the south, I'll be he delivers ammo to a lot of guys. Be careful, but don't be paranoid. |

all5n - I know you can't be too careful nowadays, and some police officers/departments are jerks, but I would bet the farm that this was coincidence. What do I base this judgement on? Lived in Plano for 20 yrs, don't live far from there now.
Pulled over last night on my way to work by Frisco PD - hands palinly in sight , interior light on, ccw and driver's license presented at the same time per law, answered his questions and ASKED officer if he wanted anything before getting it (not searching/digging for insurance, picking up gun bag and saying "here it is", other bonehead stuff, ect). Got a ticket (like I should have) and the officer in parting made it a point to mention that he noticed and appreciated my ccw etiquette. We told each other to be safe and were on our way. Stop by Lone Star Guns if you're bored sometimes - good gunsmiths up there if you ever need any work done - I'm a part timer there. I'm would guess there are some firearm neophytes and all around goobers on the Plano force, but I talk personally to some real firearms enthusiasts and all around good guys that are PPD pretty regularly. Have a good one and don't worry. Tate |
