which one? I can't find it, that's for sure. I don't want to buy it to hoarde, or gouge...I want to buy it to SHOOT!
THIS
Maybe you need to buy a dictionary yourself:
gouging present participle of gouge (Verb)
Verb
Make (a groove, hole, or indentation) with or as if with a gouge: "a channel gouged out by water".
Make a rough hole or indentation in (a surface), esp. so as to mar or disfigure it.
What is it called when you bitch about other people complaining about price gouging?
I wouldn't shop their after I called to see if they had a firearm, they refused to price it over the phone. I drove 45 mins to check it out, then they only had a competitive price if I paid cash. Well a**h***, I would have had the cash on me had I known the price before driving all over the damn place.
Now they are just a few minutes from my house and I have never been in the store. Doesn't matter though enough ma**h***s come up to shop to keep them in business. Besides if Crazy Al can stay in business I'm sure Stateline can.

It's not a commodity you need it's a want. You don't have to have a hotdog at Fenway, you won't die without it. You might die with it though.

And even if you might die without a product, no one owes you anything.

Who's bitching??
Price gouging has a legal definition in many states, and there are anti-price-gouging laws in place to protect the consumer in times of emergency.
However, New Hampshire has no such laws. If you don't like what they are charging, don't shop there. The prices will be what the market will bear.
To anyone complaining about ammo cost, just fill your shooting time with something else until this dies down. I planned to shoot Walls Of Steel this year, but I really can't afford the time or money to track down enough 9 to practice or compete. My time instead will be learning to navigate the NFA arena, building my first SBR (hopefully), and perhaps getting certified as an instructor. Expand your horizons! Glass half full! All that fun stuff.
It's crazy how many people think they are entitled to buy what they want for what they want to pay. If that were true, I'd own a lot more guns, a lot more cars, a lot more land, and I'd never worry about having enough ammo.

It has nothing to do with reloading at all.
I don't reload, and I have plenty of ammo for the calibers I shoot. It's called buying it throughout the year. A little here, a little there, etc.
Some people buy 1 box of 50 rounds, and go shoot it, and it's gone in 5 minutes. Then bitch how they can't find ammo.
Hmm isn't that what Karl Marx said. I am really amazed at all the socialists we have here who complain when unfettered capitalism hits them in their walletQUOTE]
I never said they shouldn't be allowed to "price gouge" or "Take advantage" of.
I love how you act like you never bitched about overpriced merchandise that was never overpriced before.
No matter how you look at it, its Price gouging and Taking advantage of.
I've never bitched about prices of anything on this forum. But what is bitching about it going to do? Make the prices go down? Why are you so pissed about it? There are plenty of other gun shops that you can take your business to. Again, it's all about how you feel and having this compulsion to "just have to share your feelings" like the sensitive young man you probably are. No offense intended, really. Want to save money? Reload and get involved in one of the most fascinating aspects of shooting. Eddie Coyle (Jim F) can get you started. Think you can run a better gun shop than SL, well get the capitalization and start your own. That's the American way, after all.
Well I'm going there tomorrow, I'll probably buy a gun or two, or my fiancee will. I won't be buying any ammo, but who cares? They still have decent prices on guns, and as long as I don't deal with Dan, everyone is super nice and helpful.

Idk I payed 14$ a box for a 50ct of 9mm FMJ yesterday, pre shtf price not bad I guess
Yeah, once things calm down I'm going to have to start doing this. I shoot a TON so I'm lucky that I will just have to curb my shooting a bit and I can coast on what I have (Except 9, unfortunately) but when I can start getting cases of cartridges and components for near what they used to be I'm going to start building a better buffer.

Agreed. I was looking for his words.
I appreciate the market working without such restrictions. One more reason for me to move north.
Oh yeah, I have brass like crazy. I started picking up my brass when I started buying in bulk eons ago because I knew it was only a matter of time before I started reloading. I even took Eddie's class! The thing is, I was too timid with my initial purchases of projectiles and primers because I was easing into reloading rather than diving in like I should have. Oh well, live and learn. I'm glad I at least got in on the Rainier group buy, so I'll be a bit closer to building up my stockpile.
Concord show, April 13-14.
There were multiple dealers at the Manchester show with "normal" pricing on components, and a couple of guys who were "gouging".
Yeah? When are you coming up?
As soon as I can make it work.
Oh man....if you do that who's gonna have my 6.....or do I have yours? LOL
God's speed my friend.

I disagree. What you're describing "...stocked up on primers, powder and heads. So to avoid this issue one needs to plan ahead..." is not reloading, it's your preparedness and foresight.
Many reloaders are now complaining fiercely about the cost and availability of primers, powder, and heads. Reloading hasn't saved them from shortages.
I have no interest in reloading, but like you, I've been stocking up as time goes by, so I'm not running out and buying ammo at $1/round. (In fact, I've sold some excess at near-peak prices. The only time in my life I've ever "bought low and sold high.")

I do both.....stock factory when possible & reload.
BTW, Thanks EC, your class was a big help.

Sounds like prices are coming down a bit. Certainly $.50/round would be a good price these days and $1/round is brutal.
The problem isn't the free market. the isdue is that all the hysteria is being driven, in large part, by fear of government regulation.
No fun at all these days

It's exactly the free market at work. Hysteria drives up demand for a product with a finite supply. In a free market, that means prices go...up.
I bought a can for 300$. I had no problem with it. It's theirs and I want it I have to pay. This is after buying 1540 rounds in the parking lot. I'm not short on rounds, I just like being able to pack my mags all weekend and not have to dent my surpluses. If you didn't prepare ahead of time try to learn from it and don't let the word prepper become a negative term in your world.
