Where to find 16 gauge trap load shotgun shells?

Wow, random people selling guns and ammo out of their homes. That gives me a warm, cozy feeing .

Why would this bother you?

Psssst, you don't have to have a retail store in order to have an FFL. But the same laws that govern retail chains still apply

Why not? He's working on getting a store front, but does what he legally can without one for now. I liked the whole family and never felt uncomfortable with their side business. Guns are a fact of life in rural America, especially in Alaska.

So... my DH has an FFL. He sells out of our home. Most of his customers are friends, law enforcement, and referrals from current customers. I think that's alot safer than anyone being able to walk in to Walmart and get whatever they want. DH has been known to refuse to sell to people, that's his right. He has to do the same background checks that all of large retailer's are required to do.

DH checks the local Academy Sporting Goods stores a few times a week. I heard the manager at Academy tell other customers that people line up daily waiting on the store to open just to see if any ammo came in overnight.

Gee, I don't know, maybe a little something called a background check. What kind of regulations are there for people selling under the table like that?

I believe he said the guy has an FFL, so it's not under the table and the regulations there would be the same as at any gun shop. And yes, a background check is part of that. Sheesh.

My local Wal-mart and Dicks don't usually carry 16gauge shot-shells. I know some places are having trouble with handgun, rifle, and rim fire ammo, but shotgun ammo has been pretty plentiful around. If you wanted to try getting it before FD check with the local gun shops or if you have a Bass Pro shop because my local one has plenty of shotgun ammo including 16ga, just not much else.

Where did they say they were selling under the table?

Where did they they weren't. I just can't imagine how people are comfortable with the idea of a neighbor having enough ammo and gun power to be able to sell it out of the house. IMO, that's just a ripe opportunity for disaster.

What disaster?

You do realize that people could have guns/ammo in quantities and NOT be selling them as well. Not sure how having guns vs. selling guns would make that big a difference--if you have several guns in the house, you have several guns, whether they're for sale or not.

Because in America, we are innocent until proven guilty. Therefore, i assume that most people are law abiding, unless otherwise stated.

Also, selling ammo is completely legal. No background checks required to sell ammo. Yet.
last time we were at the gun shop a gentleman was asking where he could resell some ammo, as he was moving out of state and didn't want to transport it. About 5 hands went up of people offering to meet him in the parking lot. No laws broken.

How would that be any more a recipe for disaster than living down the street from a retail store?

And odds are they don't have all that much inventory anyway or they WOULD have a dedicated store (which may be the ultimate goal).

But the bottom line is this: gun manufacturers ONLY sell to dealers. And dealers ONLY sell to those who have had a background check - the law requires it regardless of where the sale takes place.

As some of the other posters have said, you have no reason to believe he is selling guns "under the table". My DH has an FFL as I stated before. we don't keep an inventory at all. We order on based upon customer requests. We run the required background checks when they come to pick up their weapon.

Guns are actually a good investment and will go up in value. We have many customers that buy just for that reason. Not necessary to hunt or target shoot, but to collect. I don't know why you have such a problem with people selling guns from their homes. The vast majority are absolutely legal and following the rules.
