This is kind of embarassing but turned out well:

I was out doing errands and I stopped by the Goodwill donation
building to drop off a bag of items. I stooped down to lay my
bag where some other items were.

As I got into the truck to drive away, I noticed that the female
Goodwill employee picked up something off the floor and was
looking it over.

It was my single mag Uncle Mike's Kydex mag holder with a full
mag of my 9MM Speer's in it!! It had quietly slipped off my belt
when I stooped down, and I had not noticed.

She was turning it all around, staring at it, and not understanding
what she was looking it, since the butt of the mag was facing her,
not the bullet end.

I got out of the truck quickly, told her "That's mine. I dropped it."

I didn't really care if she had known what she was handling.

If I hadn't noticed her picking it up off the floor I would have gone about
the rest of my day without a clue as to where 10 rounds of JHP went.

:lol: It was a good thing that you saw her pick it up and were able to retrieve it before she pulled the mag out and saw the bullets :shock: she probably would have gone berserk. :woohoo

At my local Wally World (NW Houston), they're actually really helpful in the sporting goods section. They recently instituted a policy of "two boxes per customer per day" which throws a damper on my stockpile plans, however.

The ChinaMart here in Boerne...you could shoot off a few rounds and not wake the employees up.
You have to set yourself on fire to get somebody to unlock the ammo case.
I could walk in dressed as Osama Bin Laden and none of the ChinaMart employees would even notice. I dont think they can see anyway.
The only thing they do here is enforce a 2boxes per caliber rule.
Then they put their oxygen mask back on and go back to sleep.
