[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2164967, member: 10465"] I was at the Yukon Wal-Mart at 6:00 am to try to [I]maybe [/I]get some ammo this morning. It's been since around Christmas for me to buy any there. I [I]have [/I]been lucky enough to get a couple boxes at H&H a few times. I saw the sign that says [U]3 box limit[/U]. That's fair, as far as I am concerned. So; I was the 2nd one there; a fat old guy was ahead of me crowing about how he comes real early [U]every [/U]morning and buys all he can to stockpile/resell. I let it be known that I just want a box of .22 and a box of 9mm or .380 so I can go shoot. On and on he goes; slow burn starts...on and on he spouts about how he has so much ammo now. Anyway, at 7:00 am, after waiting an HOUR, the lady brings out [U]2[/U], just [U]2 [/U]100-rd boxes of Remington .22lr and [U]3 or 4[/U] 100-rd boxes of Remington 9mm; no .380; and a few assorted boxes of rifle ammo. The fat slob took both boxes of .22 and 1 of the 9mm. My patience was getting worn thin and honestly, I am a little ashamed that it pissed me off so much; that I let it get to me.
