So I'm on the road for business, and am blessed to have a father that's very pro constitution. He has no problem with me sending stuff to him and storing it for 6 months until I can get to his place on the way back to MD.
However, I made an early mistake with some ammo I had sent to his place. You see I won't be there for a bit, so I am sure I can find plenty of deals between now and then to get a decent stock of ammo. Knowing this I told him he could take as much ammo from what was being shipped at 50 cents a shot. He laid claim to all 2000 rounds by depositing a grand into my bank account before checking with me on a split (I would never have guessed that he'd do such a thing). I laughed about it as my dad is helping me out and I knew I could come across more ammo eventually, but then he called me up asking if I could get some more ammo from the Internet for him.
I didn't have the heart to tell him that getting the 2k rounds was very lucky, and instead told him no problem, but it might be a while. I'm pretty sure he thinks I have some secrete supplier on the Internet, as he wants me to order him Pmags as well (again, my fault for having him open up a box of ten Pmags to verify that all of them were in there, and then offering him one when he remarked on how "neat" they were). Now he wants 9 more at $15 dollars each (luckily for him I have a fairly old backorder for another 10 Pmags from a different company).
To compensate him for serving as my post office box while I am on the road I bought him a .22 conversion kit, a stripped lower, a lpk, and a charging handle to add to some spare AR parts he has lying around to make a dedicated AR 22. But in seeing how ammo is nealy 20 cents a shot locally he has asked me to get some .22 ammo for him from the Internet.
My dad is a smart guy, but for whatever reason just doesn't associate the Internet with just being a real time mail order catalogue. It's partly my fault for enabling him and not saying no, but he's my dad so I just have to grit my teeth and set up a few more webpage trackers.
