Subdeacon Joe Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Gets 1,500 Round Loan Amid Strong Response In Proctor, Minnesota, police chief Walter Wobig says that his suppliers have told him he'll have to wait "months" for the 1,000 rounds he's requested. As the "Great Ammunition Shortage" continues, police departments across the country are struggling to supply their arsenals. One police chief turned to the community for help, and citizens stepped up. In Proctor, Minnesota, police chief Walter Wobig says that his suppliers have told him he'll have to wait "months" for the 1,000 rounds he's requested. When Wobig turned to the residents of Proctor by putting out a call for help meeting his department's ammo needs, citizens contacted his office, eager to help. "The citizens were like, 'If you need something, we got plenty here,'" said Wobig. One resident and a Proctor police officer loaned 1,500 rounds from their personal stockpile to the department. The Chief says others offered to help too. "I had several other calls from other citizens that said, 'Hey, if you need more ammunition we have plenty,'" said Wobig. The Chief says that when his ammunition order is filled, he will be repaying the citizens for their contributions.
Calico Mary Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 While the ammo shortage sucks big time, I think it's cool that people stepped up to help the police department!

Apache Hawk 60642 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I see this all over this great country of ours. Seems folks aren't going to wait for help from "their" government , but are taking government into their own hands. Now....if we can only keep from making the same mistake this time around !
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 They don't need that much ammo: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=barney+fife+one+bullet&FORM=HDRSC2#view=detail&id=E23BF9B3680DCE8C2477E9946E537586D927A0DA&selectedIndex=1
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Maybe they got a 1500 man police force?
Badlands Beady Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Maybe the police can't get any ammo because the citizens are hoarding it? Just a thought.
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Maybe they got a 1500 man police force? 1500 Barney Fifes? Good ole One Bullet Barney.
Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 I wouldn't give 'em one round! They got more money than I do! I work for my money and ammo/reloading supplies are expensive. They can kiss my A$% before I give the city anything for free! I don't get anything from them for free!! Rye
Badlands Beady Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Yup, everybody's stepping up to the plate. Kinda hard to tell which team they're on, sometimes.

Subdeacon Joe Posted May 17, 2013 Author Posted May 17, 2013 Does MN have any weird ammo transfer laws? Some of the proposed laws in CA would make those "transfers" illegal. In either direction.

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Marshal Will Kane had a town that wouldn't support him. Good for the folks for supporting their local city police. We're supposed to be on the same side. And, the Chief asked...he didn't demand or confiscate.
