I have a little different view, as I have seen one man and his buddies buy all of a shipment, all paid out of one bill fold, while there was a 3 box limit. You may like azz holes but I don't. I did start showing up early enough to be first in line and just bought my 3 boxes, but I still did not like it when he got all the rest and left people standing without. I never sold any but I have given several boxes away. miles


So where is the price gouging in the events you relate? All I see is store people not adhering to their own arbitrary rules, which they are free to change or ignore, and a customer taking advantage of the fact that the store people did so. Selfish on the part of the customer, stupid behavior perhaps (poor customer relations) on the part of the store, but no gouging.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
