This is the only post I'm going to make today, and I'll make it brief.
WarOnGuns regulars know about today's proposed ammo buy as a counterprotest to the Pfleger/Jackson Citizen Disarmament Mobfest and Rabble-Rousin' Jamboree.
The rest of today's posts are yours, via comments. Please tell us:
Your name or screen name
What you bought
How much you bought
Where you bought it (name of store or range), including the city
Did the gun store or range help promote the ammo buy, and if so, what did they do?
If you like, you can tell us how much you spent, but that's optional.
Please restrict your comments to that information.
This post will remain up until 12:00 midnight. I'll determine a "winner" via random drawing from all entries. As previously mentioned, the victor will receive a handsome Red's Trading Post cap, courtesy of WoG reader "Sam."
One last thing--I thought about requiring some sort of proof of purchase, but that's the government's MO to consider people suspect right off the bat. We operate on the honor system here at WarOnGuns. When I announce the winner tomorrow, it will be up to them to contact me at dcodrea at hotmail dot com to claim the prize.

I bought a Red's Trading Post cap in blue. I have way too much ammo to justify buying any more. But I understand this hat will make me more handsome and will increase my accuracy in both rifle and pistol and also help me catch larger fish so I thought it was a good buy and a good way to support The Cause.

This is in addition to the 500 rounds (250 9mm & 250 .45 ACP) I bought from them the previous week before knowing about National Ammo Day Jr.

No one in this area responded to my emails or supported the "buycott" that I know of.
I ordered two boxes of .410 and 20 gauge #000 buckshot from Cheaper Than Dirt. I needed to get back on their mailing list anyway.
That's not a whole lot of ammo, but I still have bills to pay and kids to feed.
P.S. You have a Raven that works!?
44 mag and 25 acp in one buy. That must have brought some odd looks from the cashier.

My all time bestest buddy (we got in a fight over a girl in the second grade and have been best friends ever since...neither of us ended up with the girl...go figure...) went whole hog and bought a National Match AR-15. I've been trying to talk him into getting into High Powered Rifle competitions for a while and this was the impetus for him to finally take the plunge.
He doesn't "do" blogs so he asked me to let you know.
Little does he know that the rifle is just the beginning.
He'll be spending a LOT of money on the shooting sports in the near future methinks (dry washes hands and laughs maniacally).

At Cabelas... No discounts available (unfortunately), but most of them did come in handy waterproof plastic boxes.
I bought 100-rounds of PMC .223 (5 boxes), a Pro-Shot AR-length coated cleaning rod, an AR chamber-brush, an .22 jag, and a a Pro-Shot AR bore-guide, and 1,000 patches: $88.18 at my favorite friendly Gunporium.
Couldn't get out myself busted water pipe in the kitchen, so I sent family down to Reds. 5 boxes of .25 auto(OK got one ordered 4 more, still got "The Gang" dvd). Im with david gotta feed the mice.
I was trucking today,and wasn't sure of fed. gun transport laws.So i stopped and bought two cases of 45 ammo for the long weekend at the cabin,instead of the neat 410/45 derringer that i WILL get soon,just because i can and I want a different back-up for my normal carry!!
Really poor this weekend - so I only bought 100 rounds of .45
Picked up 200 rds of 7.62x39 and 330 rds of 5.45x39 for around a C-note. All that for my Kalashni-Twins, AK-47 and AK-74! (On top of the 2k for the 47 and 5k for the 74 I already have on hand...)
No ammo, instead I bought a Marlin .22 from an individual. Leave me out of the drawing, I received my Red's hat yesterday.
Shipton's Big "R" here in Billings, MT did us proud with a 5% discount on powder and 15% on all other shooting related products. Speaking with the manager, he said they'd sold more than 30 guns today. I scored 500 rounds of Green Tag, 700 rounds of Remington SubSonic, 2 boxes Nosler Ballistic Tips, new electronic muffs, and a knife. $138.00
And, the Billings Gazette ran my letter today.
bought 200 rounds of 5.56x45
50 rounds of 45 auto
all I could afford, payday is fridayw
I am sorry to say I had plans for a large buy today, but Sunday night we received news that my niece was back in the hospital with a recurrence of her cancer. They performed emergency surgery took one look and sewed her back up. The devastation to the family was horrendous.
We have been on the go ever since trying to offer support for her parents, husband and kids. Just got back home this minute and sadly I must admit, I forgot all about it being Ammo Day.
I know you will understand.
I was stood up by the two shops I had contacted earlier last week. I walked in today to purchase a SA Loaded M1A but could not find any mention of the day's festivities. I stood there and explained it last week to the manager and he said that they would definitely "put something up" about it. Today, the clerks didn't know anything about it. I walked out without purchasing anything. I'll get my rifle later anyway. I couldn't bring myself to spend the money there today. Went home and got on the phone and purchased the following:
From Red's Trading Post
2 Springfield Amrory 20 round M1A magazines
1 ProMag 20 round M1A magazine
1 Red's Trading Post hat

Did anyone see the bradys in action? Would love to know how that went...
I had to buy at the Fredericksburg, VA Wal-Mart because Gander Mountain is terrible. Of course the guy at Wal-Mart had never heard of this, he hardly knew the ammo selection. Anyways, here's what I bought: 100 Remington UMC 115gr. JHP 9mm
50 rounds WWB 147 gr. JHP 9mm Personal Defense

I made my two purchases at Wal Mart and the rest at Green Top Sporting Goods in Glen Allen, VA (mentioned in the Brady brochure, but with zero BATFE violartions). Neither store knew about the protests or the counter-protest. Next time let's do this towards the BEGINNING of the month when the cash is better! I priced a few lever action .45 Longs, but opted out when I saw the stickers.

Would've bought more, but I'm short on funds and need to pay the rent. Wouldn't want my guns to have to sleep outside, you know.
As for the lack of support from local places, I think I may very well have been the only person around here trying to spread the word, so they didn't put much stock in my attempt.
I need to check in with my father and see what ammo he bought. He said he was going to buy a 550 rd. box of .22, and I'm guessing that's all he got.
Er, that's "100 Rounds Winchester White Box .38 Special +P." The comment got truncated somehow.

Something wrong with the coding? I did close that off with a "(/a)".
(Yes, I used "<>" instead of "()".
C.H.
Bought 200 rounds of whitebox .380 FMJ. Shot all of it at the range :)
Bought 40 rounds of 7.62x39. Shot double that amount at the range.
Then I shot some 7.62x54 just for good measure.
I intended to buy more, but I need more guns first... I found a cute .38 Taurus revolver that I almost bought for my wife (ya know, the ones with the pink grips :)
If I had just won the lottery last week, I would have added a Class III to the list, and about 100k rounds of ammo for it ;)
No Ammo, just a 1902 manuf. Marlin 1897 lever action 22lr.

1000 rounds of Prvi Partizan .308 Winchester, and 500 rounds of WinClean 9mm Luger, both from MidwayUSA (who offered no discount for today). Also went to the Discount Gun Mart here in San Diego to do some shooting, and they also did not offer any manner of discount.
Also, an M1A SOCOM II a few days back (to get it after the 10 day waiting period, and before I go out of town).
Finally, of all of the firearm stores and ranges I emailed here in San Diego, none of them responded.
The wife bought herself a Kel-Tec .32 $180
Today's the Day!
Traction Control's in with the National Exercise Your Rights (Buy Ammo) Day.
I forgot about this but I happened to go to the range today and bought 2 50 round boxes of American Eagle .45 ACP ammo. I bought and shot them at Shoot Straight in Apopka, FL.
3 boxes of 45 acp today from Impact Guns in Ogden Utah. No special efforts for the day but they did have the 45 on their sale table- very unusual. Buddy Kenny bought 2 boxes too.
I purchased 1000 rounds of 22LR from MidwayUSA.com
From my local dealer/club/range (Kaw Valley Gun Club here in Topeka):

Walmart (ugg!)
25 bucks.
Hi Jesse! (Oh..and Al)
Despite all that has gone on in Wayne's case lately and the shortage of funds, I found a good reason (excuse) for a box of 12Ga 3" Mag BB Steel Shot and a Full Choke tube for my (new to me) Remington 870 (no, I won't be short-barreling it like Wayne did his) so I can now go waterfowl hunting this year (first time ever - NWA has lots of geese and ducks). $37 and change at Justus Cabinets and Supply in Elkins, AR
Caught lots of "real" flak when the wife got home and found out what I did. Not to worry, I've caught flak for a whole lot of other things too. (Her reasoning is that I have lots of other 12 Ga rounds (all 2 3/4" and no steel shot) what did I need this for!)
525 rounds 22 lr.10.25 at Bi-Mart Medford Or.
Sorry, I got confused because I read about today's "event" at The Firearms Coalition, and they recommended we buy either ammunition or a gun. So I didn't buy any ammunition. I bought a new SIG. I'm proud if I could add to the statistics in my own small way. Can't wait till next year. By then, the AR-26 ought to be available.
Rich Jordan
1025 rounds of .22LR (one brick, one 'value pack' box)

The sports counterman did not know about the day, nor have any promotion. It was not possible to get to a real gun store today or I would have done that instead.
I wish that I could have bought what I need: a ton of 7.62x51 milsurp, but I had to hold it down to a single box of M1 carbine soft points from Loudoiun Guns in Leesburg, Virginia.
200 rounds of .22 mag, 100 rounds 38 Special, 100 rounds 45 ACP, and from the intarw3b: 1,000 Sierra .308 165 SPBT, 8 lbs BLC-2.
Cybrludite

Didn't see anything about it.
Got an ATI heatshield and some other brand's barrel clamp/sling mount for my Mossberg in the same order as well.
2 Boxes of .40
2 Boxes of 7.62X39
(For my Evil WMD rifle)
Purchased them from Realco Guns not fifty feet from the protesters led by Jesse Jackson! (And I paid with my PayPal Debit card so I could stick it to the anti-gun eBay.)
Two boxes of .45 ACP for my 1911A1 and two boxes of .380 for my P3AT purchased from ADVENTURE OUTDOORS. Greenburg should keep his nose out of businesses not located in NYC.

My sympathies to you and your family.
I'll keep you in my prayers.

Bought a brick of .22 and passed on the idea to a local gun store last week.
As luck would have it, August 28 was the first day you could buy a pistol in MO without a permit. Pistols were selling like hotcakes yesterday, & the range was so jammed I couldn't get in. All in all a good day!
400 rounds of 9mm purchased.
I drug my sick ass out of bed to buy 20 rounds of Hornaday TAP (LEO red box) for $14 at Guns Unlimited here in Omaha. I also bought a 100 round bulk pack of Winchester target shells at Walmart for $14. Finally, I bought 1050 rounds of Federal .22 for $9 each at Cabelas.
No one here (despite my e-mails, letters and calls last week) offered any deals or discounts.
I bought a Romainan PSL rifle and a case of ammo.
Thanks jessy jackson I needed a little motivation , I watched the Video of The brady Bunch and that guy who looks high on meth...oh yeah Ladd Everret from the million man march at district hights Maryland. Thanks again guys I needed your loonatic fringe attitude to motivate me to spend over one thousand dollars on arms and ammo.
warrifles.com
I bought a iwb holster from Comp-tac.
Ammo prices have me in a funk and I'm having a hard time spending for more ammo .... no worries, I have 8K rounds in the basement.

I'm a small-timer, wanted to get in on the action but just bought a single 50-rd. box of .45 at Texas Guns in San Antonio.
I posted it to my blog, and on the LJ Guns community. Got a triple handful of comments, so multiply me by 10-15 or so including some gun buyers.
I stopped by Realco Guns, the DC/MD protest site, for a couple boxes of ammo after work. They said they were impressed by the number of people who expressed support. They also gave everyone a 10% "Jesse Jackson Discount" yesterday. I walked in during their last sale of the day -- a charming young lady, buying a folding-stock AK clone. Gotta love it :-).
Three bricks of .22's at Cabela's.
Have to admit I spaced a deliberate effort to buy on the 28th, but....by chance I had to get a hunting license and picked up:
(1) case 20 ga. shotshells
total $40.39 plus tax less 5% for case buy
At Sportsman's Warehouse
Tucson
No promotion there.
(tried to post last night, blogger barfed on the home PC.)
200 rounds of .308 (and a new sandbag rest) from Cabela's, Hazelwood, MO. There was no overt advertising of the 28th but it did seem to me that there had been a noticable dent in the supplies of bulk ammo out on the shelves by the time I got there at 8:30 CDT.
MichaelG
Last week I bought another barrel for my Enfield and it arrived yesterday (the 28th). I slugged it, and the bore is exactly .303, and it doesn't look as though it was ever installed on a No4.
This morning, the 29th, I went and bought another 40 rounds of Remington-UMC .303 ammo, bringing my total purchase over the last six weeks to:
300 rounds of loaded .303
700 empty (mixed fired/new) .303 cases
1270 cases of 7.62 (mixed LC and NM)
1 Vz 24, to be rebarreled in 7.62 (gotta use all those cases, you know)
Sorry I could not do the deed on the 28th, David. :(
60 rds 30-30
100 12ga
1000 .452 bullets (component)
Sorry for being late to the party.
Used Browning Citori O/U from Red's Trading Post.
Three boxes of 12 gauge from Midway to shoot once we finish up the transaction and it arrives at my local FFL.
box-o-308
Okay, I ended un NOT getting any .303Br (that's okay, I have penty already).
I DID buy 8 boxes of 30-06!
HEY EVERYONE- Winchester has rebates on their XX line of ammo. I bought each box of 30-06 for $11.99 with a $5 rebate! That's $7.00 a box! The rebates are going on now til Dec 31.
308 was just as cheap as were many other sizes.
4 boxes of 50 rounds .45ACP
A box of .44-40 (yes!) from our local gun shop, and a 100 rounds of 40 S&W and 100 rounds of 12 ga #8s from our big box store.
Got 100 rounds .45ACP at wally world, but did get 2 red,s hats last week and I am recovering fro a poly tech M14 fro carr gun,s Saltillo,Ms 2 weeks ago.
Ordered 200 rounds of .308 from Outdoor Marksman, plus picked up some 12 gauge slugs while I was @ Wally World...
While I am a citizen of the United States, I am unfortunately a resident of Marxistchusetts. So I’m doing the best I can with what I’ve got at the moment while I work toward “getting legal” so I can do more.
Purchased over the weekend:
1 “2nd Amendment Rights” cloth patch
- don’t know the name of the Gun Shop, southern NH
1 tin of Beeman Silver Arrow Pellets in .25 cal., 200 count
- for a gun I do not own (yet…).
- State Line Gun Shop, Mason, NH
1 tin of Beeman Silver Ace Pellets in .20 cal., 300 count
1 tin of Beeman Crow Magnum in .20 cal., 200 count
1 box of Benjamin/Sheridan Cylindrical pellets in .20 cal., 500 count
- for my Sheridan Blue Streak
- Hunter’s Rendezvous, Pepperell, PDRofMarxistchusetts
Purchased on the day of the event:
1 tin of Benjamin pellets in .20 cal, 500 count
- for my Sheridan Blue Streak
1 tin of Gamo Match Diablo in .177 cal., 250 count
- for whatever .177 I’m in the mood to shoot
1 [redacted airgun item] (approx. $200)
- that I choose not to de facto register by posting the specifics of on Al Gore’s Interwebs
- Blue Northern Trading Company, Ayer, PDRofMarxistchusetts
I also spent a very positive hour or so last night at the range testing the [redacted airgun item]. Odd. On target #3 I fired eight shots and heard all eight hit the backstop in the pellet trap – but there are only seven holes. (At least) Three in the black…
Total spent: More than my budget will allow. But it’s for a good cause.
On the 28th, I only bought four boxes of 7.62x39 at a local Wal-Mart, for around $50.
--WeedWhacker in Vegas
Purchased a shiny Bushmaster AR15A3 with rail/sights/rail grip w/ handle.
That should scare them.
Bought it at Barneys Firearms and range in Lafayette, LA.
Had to work late so I placed an order at Midway for:
500 .380 brass
one set new .380 carbide loading dies
500 .357 158gr jackeded soft point bullets for my Marlin lever action
So, no loaded ammo, just components.
I also posted a "Buy a Bullet for Brady" announcement on a web site I frequent to stir the folks up.
Sorry for the late reply, been very busy at work and busy fixing plumbing problems at night.
But I did participate in Just-Say-No-To-The-Brady-Bunch Day. I did want to pick up a bunch of 20 gauge shells, but instead of cases, they had a single box left. So I bought that and some 28 gauge shells for the ol' Italian double.
Thank you for this post! Although, I'm sad that I only missed it by three years! Are you going to have another one anytime with ammunition for sale?
