yeah, i kinda don't like the idea of destroying my own house because of a burglar, i don't think my next gun would be a shotgun (no matter how tempting that USAS12 is)
anyway, local rules:
-you can't buy ammunition without presenting your gun license (calibre specific)
-you officially can't buy more than 50 at a time because that's what's written on the gun license (non-gun club member)
-unless a gun club member, you can't have a .40, .45 or a .357 and more than 2 pistols and 1 rifle.
i applied for the gun club membership at the same time i picked up the .357, gun license will come out the same day i get the gun. so i "paid for and reserved" 50 .357 rounds again, to be picked up the same day.
but i had to get around that so i bought some extra, from a different gunstore who looked the other way:
the gunstore i bought the .357 from was going by the book ... they required 10x more paperwork than my other gunstore, and they required me to go to a gun safety seminar!! i skipped that but conveniently made it to the picture taking for "proof" of participation.
