[GA] Is it illegal to get someone to buy you ammo?

Looked into a job at Bass Pro once, and the employee discount did not apply to ammo (and a few other things).

Might want to double check on this.

If it's less than 2 years old does it even qualify as a 'zombie thread'?

I think it "could be" illegal to help a person you know, or reasonably believe is, a "prohibited person" obtain ammo.
This isn't explicitly stated by the general "prohibited person" law of 18 USC 922(g).
But I'd say that the crime would be one of a co-conspirator at that point.
In effect, you'd be assisting in the commission of the crime. Accessory before the fact. Inchoate liability.

As for selling ammo from an FFL dealership, I don't think it's an issue that the employee is a "straw buyer" for an unidentified actual buyer / friend. There's no recordkeeping requirements for ammo that identifies the retail buyers anymore. (There was such a law from 1968-1986). There's no form to fill out for ammo, saying you swear you're the actual buyer, not acting as an agent for some other buyer.

Can I get some of you guys to buy me ammo

Tell your friend this........If he is caught buying ammo under this Company discount program for non employees. I'm pretty sure he will be fired.

Tell your friend not to run off at the mouth about and all will be hunkie dorie
