Oh geez. I work in Sandy Springs and was just at my range/gun/ammo shop. They have home depot-sized shelves to the very high ceiling full of ammo for sale. Guess the cops don't shop there.
ETA: I'm going to the range again tomorrow and will take a picture if no one yells at me and post it here.
EATA: And aside from qualifying what twice a year, just how many rounds do the Sandy Springs police actually fire a day? Or a month? Most of what they do is unsnarl traffic.edit on 1/9/2013 by ~Lucidity because: (no reason given)

I don't know this Sandy Springs but there are likely real criminals committing real crimes on real victims who rely on the municipality law enforcement for protection.
Not everybody is a self-reliant hero.

Government jobs are funny. If you need a roll of tape you cant stop at the office supply store and pick it up. You have to order it through proper channels at a markup and lengthy time delay.
Keep in mind that police don't use standard off the shelf FMJ ammunition. They usually use +P hollow point ammunition
I also think they could get a small loan from DHS for say 25000 rounds or so and it wouldn't even put a dent in the massive DHS supply.edit on 1/9/2013 by SpaDe_ because: (no reason given)
