Maybe a road trip to Arlington and North Richland Hills may be justified? Well that could be justified if you were looking for 9mm ammo. Everything else is kinda iffy. :totap:

Academy at Edgebrook and I45 has lots of Monarch 9mm and Remington bulk 525 count 22lr, Academy at Nasa has that and UMC bulk .223 for $99. Neither had .45.

9mm at Academy Hwy6 and Westheimer. Didn't ask specifically what type of 9mm, was looking for .40.

The Academys here in San Antonio have pretty much had a stready supply of Monarch brass 9mm for $10.99. Oddly they actually had some Blazer brass, but it was $11.99 :eek6 where right next door at Walmart it goes for $8.99 (when they have it).

So, what's the deal now when buying ammo?

Do they make you wait 3 days, or do they do
a background check thru the ATF database?

Just curious. Last time I bought ammo was
about 2003 down in Austin Texas on north Lamar
and they rang me up like I was buyin soda water
or something (no big deal at all)

More like buying beer. There's a minimum asge of 21 for handgun ammo and 18 for rifles and shotguns.

So they swipe your Driver's License through the verification

Clarification, please...... Hwy. 360 and Great Southwest Pkwy, do not intersect....Both run north and south. ;-)
