I buy 'em where they're cheapest. Even though all the ammo at WalMart is from China, and the American guns are made from Costa Rican parts assembled in Tierra Del Fuego. - OS

"Integrity is doing the right thing when no one else is watching. " I'm a bit surprised that so many of y'all are in favor of keeping the ammo. If the OP didn't intend to keep it, if he really was going to call the shipper, then why go ask if it's safe to shoot? Just sayin...

Noone cares for your opinion either thief.

I think Rick should dispose of Shane and Andrea!!!! I would have not went back and got him. Shane is a douche. I wish they would take the soap opera out of it, let's just KILL the walkers and let it be THAT. BluewaterTacticalDefense

Yall make me laugh. In one thread a bunch of yall are holier than though and now in this one yall are telling him to keep something that he didnt pay for. Say he goes to the bank and the teller accidentally gives him more money would you tell him to keep the extra money? It is the exact same thing.

I ran across this article today in the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation about Newt's comments on Afghanistan. Thank goodness someone else besides Paul is starting to talk some sense. It is way past time to get the hell out. http://www.ajc.com/news/georgia-politics-elections/gingrich-sees-impossible-task-1364582.html I may try to go see him tomorrow in Dalton if things aren't too hectic.

Picked this rifle up on a trade the other day and I love it! R700 Video: Here's Ken doing some mag dumps with his new Bushy!!! Bushmaster Mag Dumps:

If its not a Glock its a copy of a Glock. Get the real thing.

I find this thread really sad as well. I've always seen the gun enthusiast community as a notch above the general population in morality. That may well still be true, and this is just evidence of the general moral decline of our entire culture. I wasn't aiming the comments in my previous post at the OP, or at anyone in particular, but at anyone who thinks keeping the ammo was a good idea.

This thread is very telling about some people here Rest assured I will not trust doing business with them. Morals are obviously not the most important to some of us here. Not specifically at the OP but those who feel it is ok to steal so long as it isn't immediately noticed. Dolomite

He's learned his lesson and getting his gun back. All's well that ends well.

Yes seriously. I am a bit taken back that I am having to defend the RIGHT thing to do. I know that my morals are not the same as another guy's morals, but this is basic. Do unto others as you would have them do to you, is a pretty standard thing. If I shipped the wrong thing to someone I would hope they would send it back.

My wife and I have put more rounds through her HP995 than I'd care to think about. Probably well over 6k. About a year ago (after about 5k rounds) I started having problems with FTE about every third round. I fussed and complained about it - oblivious to their lifetime warrantee - until someone at Charlie's in Spring Hill suggested I call HiPoint. They basically completely rebuilt the rifle for the cost of shipping it to them (about $14) - everything but the barrel is brand new and they even put a new coat of paint on that. The problem was actually the extractor but they gave it a total overhaul when they saw how much use it saw. They sent me 2 free mags for my "trouble" and made a loyal customer for life with their fast, friendly service. The tech who actually did the work called me the day I got it back to tell me all the changes they'd made and ask me what I thought of the new look (they'd upgraded it to the TS stock and painted the shroud). He talked to me for the better part of 45 minutes about what I use it for, ammo suggestions to improve accurracy at the range and asked me about what HD rounds I've run through it. All he asked in return for his time was pictures of the gun being used. Over 500 trouble free rounds of Winchester ammo - 200 of those JHP - later it has again taken its place on my wife's side of the bed as her "bump in the night" gun when I'm not home. If you're having trouble with it, send it to them and they'll fix it. Or sell it to Broomhead for $50 and let him do it! You can send them your magazines if you think that's the problem and they'll replace those, too. If you're thinking about getting one - do it! They've got a .45 now that I'm thinking I might pick up for a Get Home Kit in my car so I only have to keep one caliber in the glove box for both my carry gun and my car gun. But the 9mm sure is fun for a range toy! Great gun, great company and great price. Have I said enough good things about it yet? Haha!

That's the same kinda logic that thieves use to defend themselves. You sound like a thief to me.

I like to think of it this way. If you ordered two mosins AND the crate of ammo and the ammo didn't arrive, you'd be doing everything you could to get your ammo. Instead, they mistakenly shipped you ammo that you didn't order and you decide that its okay to just let things be. Either way, they made a mistake. It shouldn't matter whos favor the mistake is in, its a mistake. Make it right.

I would call the place and inform them of this error. Let them know that I opened one of the cans and saw that it was ammo and knew this wasn't my order and now would like to know what they want to do. If they tell you to keep it, Great! If they want it back, then shipping should be on their dime not yours. That is what I would do and that is what I would advise a person to do. For whatever that is worth.

Mike is absolutely correct. Legal or not, morally, its wrong. Just call them and see how they want to handle it. They might even tell him to keep the ammo but at least let them know.

The Ruger is a good pistol but it is far from great. It would need trigger work to be comparable to most "target" pistols. It is also not as accurate as most "target" pistols. Fixing the crown can improve the accuracy some but most of the accuracy of a gun comes from the chamber dimensions and ALL Ruger pistols have a sporter chamber. Sporter chambers are designed to allow the gun to reliability shoot the widest variety of ammunition. The guns are made with cost in mind. Think of them as the economy car of the pistol world, something you can jump in and just go. Now "target" guns are like a purpose built exotic sports car. They have tighter tolerances and that makes for nicer triggers. They have a much tighter chamber which is the key to their accuracy. But they also require more maintenance to keep running. And for most of these "target" guns cost isn't the main consideration like with the Ruger. I own and will always own a Ruger pistol. They are built to last a lifetime and are very, very reliable but they are far from "target" guns. Dolomite

Did you call whoever you bought the rifles from and let them know about the ammo? Just cause they sent it does not make it right to just up and keep it. I could not do it, would have to let them know about it.

The judge, Muslim or not, should be recalled from the bench. It appears his ruling was not based on our laws; as he is supposedly sworn to administer, but his feelings and Sharia.

i thought he was going to leave shane with the zombies,i would have.

well, after a whole weekend thinking about a few certain guns that I had in mind, I ended up purchasing one that never even crossed my mind. Here is my brand new EDC companion. A Ruger SR9C... I know, I know. A 9mm is not a big step up from a .380, but I couldnt help but love the gun. Heres how it went down. I went to Shooters Depot this morning for the first time, looking for a Glock 27 or 33, or a ruger wheelgun. Turns out they sold out of their 27's on Saturday ( he said it was packed wall to wall in there that day). And they didnt have any 33's either. So after browsing around for a bit at the other compacts they had, he asked me if I had ever considered a Ruger SR9C. I said I have read about them and whatnot but never held/fired one. The second the gun hit my hand I loved it, it felt really good. After fooling with it for a minute or so, he said well do you want to shoot it, I replied with how much will it cost to test fire, and he said I'll let you shoot 5 rnds out of mine for free. Turned out thats what he carries as well. So we went in the range and I got to shoot 5 rnds through his gun. It was over then, I had forgot how much fun a 9 is to shoot. Very manageable recoil, ammo is always available, and cheap to shoot. So i told him to write it up and a box of ammo and that was it. Got the gun brand new, and a box of remington umc target ammo for under 500 bucks. 496 to be exact. I love the way the ruger feels in my hand, and am very glad he suggested it and was kind enough to let me shoot his for free. A++++++ to Shooters Depot on Shallowford Rd. I will be a return customer. Oh, and I just placed my order for a Crossbreed supertuck deluxe IWB holtset as well.

So what are you trying to say; are you implying that if you don't carry a large caliber why bother? My usual carry piece is a G31 (357Sig); and if not that one then it's almost certainly a 45ACP or a 10MM. But, sometimes because of who I'm with/where I am/what I'm wearing I only have a lowly 38 snubby in my pocket...should I just not carry at all because the 38 isn't a powerful caliber??? Your average young (or older or old) woman (or man for that matter isn't a police officer and isn't putting her(his) life into harm's way on purpose as part of her(his) job...police officers do and as such should probably carry the biggest, baddest caliber their agency will allow. The old adage "any caliber you have with you is better than ANY caliber locked in your safe" is an old adage for a reason - it's because IT'S TRUE. I also believe it's true that many (perhaps even most) defensive use of a handgun is simply showing that you have a gun, not actually needing to shoot a would-be thug...if so, then what "caliber" a person has on him is FAR less important than the fact that she/he has a firearm with them. Maybe a man can't turn her (wife/daughter/girlfriend) into a sheep dog but at least she many become an armed sheep that's a hell of a lot better than being a disarmed one.

Welcome to Memphis.......City of the confused!

Oscars???

Why?

There are some really motivated preppers out there there who probably have some psychological disorders. I would even go as far to say, some shouldn't own firearms due to the threat they pose during an emergency, one which doesn't call for shooting your neighbors because you thought they were zombies. By enlarge, the general pubic recognizes that "preparing" is a normal psychological response by some when dealing with the stresses of uncertainty, which would include economic uncertainty.

Look in a mirror. We are responsible, we keep sending them back!

Which lately is amounting to doodly-squat with them. Either their prices have seriously increased in the past two months or they've lessened the discount. Regardless, it's still a discount.

Well sounds like you needed to, and that this particular apple rolled far from the tree. Also sounds like you did all you could. Family comes first, but YOUR family comes before anyone else, including blood. Nothing but respect coming from me on this subject.

I agree with mike that he shouldn't have pulled the trigger. A fleeing burglar cannot be shot. You just have to let him go. But I also agree with the OP, the story makes my blood pressure rise as well. They seized his guns and he faces up to 7 years in prison. At the most it should be a simple misdemeanor. People are far more reckless with their cars on a regular basis with no such recourse.
