Ok I found this post on another forum and this guy says he a ffl and knows what hes talking about> (the question is being asked by a guy lives in Indianapolis)
If you, as a person under 21 is found carrying handgun ammunition in your legal handgun, according to Federal law, BATFE, you can be prosecuted.
I am sure you will tell me everyone does it. That does not make it legal. Internet sales of ammo happen to be a big problem for BATFE because it is mainly unregulated.
A license is not required for a dealer to engage in the sale of ammunition only. [18 U.S.C. 922 (a)(1)(B)]
Here are a couple of BATFE numbers you can call if you would like to hear it from the source.
Indianapolis - Industry Operations: 317-248-4002 (your area)
Kansas City - Industry Operations: 816-559-0730
St. Louis - Industry Operations: 314-269-2250
Don't call a field office, their job is to catch BG's.
Please give them a call and report back to us what they tell you. I'm not trying to bust your chops.
I know you want to be a law abiding citizen, honest.
I'm not sure how they handle it where you work. Maybe they consider it supervised.
So I can not carry then?
also this could relate: http://nashvillecitypaper.com/content/city-news/atf-says-federal-law-trumps-state-firearms-act
So does this federal law trump our state?
I do not want to get in trouble because some governmet agent is infringing on state rights! :banghead::banghead:
