Texas grocery store gets state’s first ammunition vending machine: ‘Well secured from theft’
American Rounds has ammunition kiosks in Texas, Alabama and Oklahoma
A Canyon Lake, Texas, supermarket has a new vending machine, but rather than selling candy, drinks or potato chips, it dispenses ammunition.
Lowe’s Market on Sattler Road in Canyon Lake was the recent recipient of the first ammunition vending machine in the state.
While recent trends across the U.S. have seen vending machines used to sell sandwiches from places like Subway, marijuana products, candied bacon and even crack pipes, they are now being used to sell ammunition. . . .
The fact they already exist and no one is shouting out against them explains why they got on Fox News. Of course the company wants someone visible on the left to rally against it. They know that is great for business, so they are trying to raise their profile.
American Rounds, which prides itself on facilitating “ammo sales like you’ve never seen before”, installed its first machine in Texas at a Lowes Grocery Store in San Antonio. The company has already had success selling its machines in Alabama and Oklahoma.
It’s probably not like an old school $1.25 cigarette machine you stack quarters in. Ammo is typically $10 and up depending on caliber and number of rounds in the box.
My guess would be dollar acceptor up to $20 and/or credit card reader.
