sassnetguy50 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Has anyone seen an automated ammunition dispensing machine? Saw this in a news article, bullets by the pound in the store: https://alpinerange.com/facebook-ammunition-special-9mm-10-pounds/ A local nonprofit range tried to setup an unmanned 24hr sttion with self serve, like a sandwich vending machine. It would require you to swipe your state id and member card for proof of age. Of course the lawyer stopped it before it was installed but after they had bought the equipment.

Alpo Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I can understand that. If you walked into your local gun shop, would your daddy's or your big brother's ID, and you were obviously 12, they wouldn't sell you any ammo. The machine don't care. The store wouldn't sell me cigarettes when I was 11, but I bought them out of vending machines all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perro Del Diablo Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I know that range it's not far from me. I don't shoot there since I joined private club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 They just need a Siri type vending machine. You have to show the ID pic to her while she scans your face before she puts out with the ammo. No match and it’s, “I’m sorry, Dave, I can’t do that”.

There was going to be a ginger print scanner and breathalyzer at each lane door. Some of the firearms community was not excited about being finger printed, so the scanners never got installed.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Wait... with the breathalyzer ya wouldn't need a "gingerprint scanner...." 28 minutes ago, Utah Bob #35998 said: They just need a Siri type vending machine.

First semester at San Francisco State College, fall '69, required watching for David Bycina's Western Civilization class. Hated the class, too.

Remember, most people who loved it were stoned. It was 1968. Gotta love the music though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Small home town in western Washington, 1962. Local trading post sold GI WW II era .45 ACP zinc-cased ball by the pound. Had a big wooden barrel full of it and a large scoop like a sugar scoop to put it in brown paper bag on the scale. Worked out to about 3 cents a round. No problem buying it at age 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to take a physical for the Naval Academy I was put up in the BOQ at Ft. Campbell. They had beer vending machines. I was not of age and there was no supervision. I believe the price was 25 cents. That was 1971. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember riding my bicycle down to K Mart to buy .45 and .22 ammo until they changed the law so I had to go there with my stepfather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
