This is exactly what is meant by afraid of your own shadow. What is "legal ammo". You never know something isn't stolen whenever you buy something on
1) Craigslist
2) ebay
3) gunbroker
you get my point. If you have a LTC in MA, its legal ammo.
If you are in a free state, if you are over 18 or 21 and are not a prohibited person, its legal ammo.
Don, in this incident, it's a little different than buying online. The fed wasn't selling; he was trying to give it away. I haven't spoken to the club members involved, but I think that their first assumption questioning the legality of the ammo was correct. Who is going to give away free ammo under today's shortages of ammo with no end to the shortages in sight? As stated in another post, the fed was dimed out by someone for trying to sell the ammo, and is now under investigation by his agency for possibly not being his to sell. Even if he had sold it, the buyer's most likely would only need to give it back without any repercussions. However, we're still talking about MA and maybe they would have needed to retain lawyers to cover their butts. Again, it goes back to the OP where the fed said he was giving it away because he might lose his job or words to that effect. That alone should make someone pause and question what was going on.
