    Anyone wipe down ammo before selling?

    Just curious if any calgunners clean/wipe down their ammo before selling. Some say to remove their fingerprints just in case a crime is committed later on with the same ammo. I on the other hand don't see what the big deal is as I know for sure I didn't commit the crime so F off. Or should I start wiping to be safe?

        i would think your fingerprints wouldn't be the only ones on the casings. unless the criminal was smart enough to only wear gloves after he/she bought the ammo in order to frame the seller.

        and if they are smart enough to do that, they are smart enough to know that it is easier to buy from a store than a private individual that can potentially remember their face since a private sale is more intimate than a store sale where the clerk will see hundreds of patrons.

            its a well known fact that if you wear tin-foil undies while loading, fingerprints cannot be transferred....

                  i'm confused to why you are handling it before selling it?

                  i mean if i sell a box of ammo i didnt open it up and juggle all the cartridges then put them back in the little pockets

                    Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

                        I'm with bohoki on this one. What's the point of fondling the ammo if you're not using it?

                          To check them see if theres a bad round? Either or I'm not wiping them, its pointless unless...?

                            LOL No I don't really care. I open up a box and look and make sure its all there but other than that I don't really play with ammo. When i handle ammo is because I'm loading up a "clip" and I'm gunna bust some caps yo.

                              if you handled ammo then by the time you sell it wiping it down is not going to help.
