You ever go in to buy ammo and, miracle of miracles, you find it? Then you notice the signs limiting purchases to 2 or 4 boxes and your frustration mounts? You weigh the stigma of hoarding against the reality of buying when you finally stumble across inventory on hand but what to do?
Well, if you have never heard of it here's a cute little section of the Idaho Statutes which may come in handy. Reference link follows forTITLE 48 -MONOPOLIES AND TRADE PRACTICES.
[align=center]CHAPTER 4 - UNFAIR SALES ACT
48-405A. LIMITATION OF QUANTITY OF ITEMS OFFERED FOR SALE AT RETAIL PROHIBITED. [/align]
No person conducting a retail business, which involves the resale
to consumers of commodities purchased or acquired for that purpose, may limit
the quantity of any article or product sold or offered for sale to any one
customer to a quantity less than the entire supply thereof owned or possessed
by the seller or which he otherwise is authorized to sell. Any person as
principal, agent, officer or director, by himself, or another person, who
shall violate this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor for each single
violation and upon conviction thereof shall be punishable pursuant to the
provisions of section 48-405, Idaho Code.
The Idaho Code is made available on the Internet by the Idaho Legislature as a public service.

In short, limitations on quantities purchased are illegal.
