My first post, so hello all. I am currently waiting on a pistol permit from Tioga county. While waiting, I thought I would pickup some 9mm ammo that was on sale at Dick's. The clerk told me I needed a permit to purchase and I could not buy more than 3 boxes of ammo at a time. (50 rounds per box) As I am new to the handgun world of over-regulation, I was wondering if I could find out if this is accurate?

It's store policy (and a load of BS). Find a new place to buy ammo if you want it now.

Walmart is the same way, FYI. Its all store policy and not a law.
I've had luck at Walmart by telling them my 9mm ammo was for a rifle (it was). I just had to explain to the guy that I had a 9mm carbine that yes did shoot pistol ammo but no, it is not a pistol. He agreed and thought the store policy was dumb. Two minutes of chatting and bsing with the guy and he handed over my ammo.

some places still wont... everytime I buy ammo at walmart they ask for a pistol permit and I tell them its for a rifle, most of them are not so bright so they say i cant sell it to you since the register asks me for it. i then tell them, its just a confirmation button that you have to press, it doesnt require any other info. so, now that you know its for a rifle just press the button. some of them tell me sorry, i need your id or i will lose my job. there is only one guy that works at a local walmart that doesnt bust chops on the permit issue.
its a lame as store policy, and its not a law by any stretch..... but, if you dont help fight for our rights you can bet that it will be in the future.
Ya beat me to it ! That's where I been getting some good deals lately with the mega packs . To the OP , checkout Gander on line then you are off to Shop for ammo . FYI a " Blazer magazine pack " has 7 boxes in the pack . It works out to 12.58 a box before taxes on sale . Not bad. Pretty much the best deal I have found , accuracy inst bad either .

Friend of mine just got his from Tioga County. It took about six weeks. Tioga County is very gun owner friendly.
Thats my luck...I have been waiting close to 3 months for my permit. Thanks to everyone for all the info, I hate Dick's, but I thought a box of 50 federal 9mm for 11.98 was a good deal. I guess I never thought they would lie about the law to stop me from buying ammo. I really don't get the lie about being only able to buy 3 boxes at a time. Lesson learned!
