What this whole "price match" bullshit?
Do they have a price match guarantee? They don’t do that at Maude and Claude’s ??😃 I fugging hate those people. I just want to pay and leave.....some fugger ahead of me has an expired coupon, and empty gift card and was pretty sure they price matched.
I am MAGA.

Stopped by the Academy, today. Got them to price match a game cam that I use for “security purposes”, that Azz Pro had cheaper.
Figure, what the heck, I’ll buzz through the ammo section, and see what they have.
Couple of 60+ year-old guys, there, eyes glazed over, staring at the ammo. One of them picks up a box of 12 ga buckshot. Just HAS to open the danged thing, as if there’s ANY meaningful info to be gathered by actually holding the thing in their hand.
Minute or two later, one of them is opening up a box of FMJ pistol ammo. Honestly, what in the HELL do you learn by opening up a box of FMJ ammo?? Unless you think it’s some of that goofy truncated cone .40 (this wasn’t .40)?? Who the hell doesn’t know what FMJ ammo looks like??
No wonder gun stores put it behind the counter.... Both Academy stores in Baton Rouge keep the ammo behind the counter.

About fifty years ago, there was no seal on the ammo boxes. A kid could check out the various cartridges and dream. God, I thought that box of 264 Win Mag was sexier than Marylin Monroe, almost as fine as Ann Margret. Twenty years later I finally managed to find a Win 70 Classic in a local store. It easily matched my fantasies.
My ideal as a conservative:
That each person may reap as he/she has sown.

The first time you buy a "new box" of ammo and find mixed brass reloads in it when you get home you will start looking in the boxes too. I make the cashier open every box for my inspection before I pay for it anymore. Or a box of 47 rounds in a pistol ammo box. Saw that a lot when I worked at Bass Pro. For some reason we didn't see it much with rifle ammo.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.

Maybe this explains the box of .380 that had one round of .32 acp. I was chronographing a few rounds when I shot uncles Shooting Chrony off of the deck rail. Yup, that was the .32 round.

Remington got to where they was putting a big dollop of glue on the lids of their boxes. Almost had to rip whole lid off to get in the box.
