I had to take a road trip to the east coast. Of course I checked out the local gun shops while I was there. Live Free or Die is the NH state motto and the LGS reflect that all the way. No shortages on any ammo. I picked up 500 rounds of Federal XM193 while I was there. $150 and no tax. Reminded me of the good old days.

Did you bring enough to share with the rest of the class?

I bet they also had plenty of 22LR. Last time I was in CT they had all you would ever need.

NH's a weird state. Full of liberals but fairly easy on gun laws.

Lots of .22. They said the have had no problem getting it and keeping it in stock for almost a year.

Lot of libertarians. Home of the Free State Project.

I just got back from Idaho. Same thing, no 556 or 22lr shortage and they are reasonably priced.

Their project hasn't really gone as well as the had hoped.

The gun laws are much more lax than here... it's too bad I always fly through Boston when I go there so I can't bring any goodies home.

Fly through Boston (like a transfer through Boston?) and you can't bring goodies home with you? Like what? I must be missing something here.

I should say I land in Boston and fly out of Boston from Denver.

Mass has some very strict gun laws - 10 round magazine law for example.

I always assumed this would apply to firearms but I may be wrong:

18 U.S. Code § 926A - Interstate transportation of firearmsNotwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.

This worked for me when I got pulled over in Nebraska on my way from Michigan to Colorado

Dang that's even cheaper than up here in Maine. Fortunately I have to drive thru NH to get to CT on business, so I'll be ammo shopping now in addition to liquor.
