Ammunition Sales in Market Hall

To comply with restrictions of Dallas Market Center and our liability insurance company, all ammunition in the show must be sealed or secured in the following manner

At The Front Door

• Ammunition, in modern boxes, must be taped at both ends.
• Vintage or collectable ammunition must be sealed in a Zip-Loc type bag and either taped or stapled.

On The Tables

• Boxed ammo must be taped or sealed at both ends (either by the factory or the vendor).
• Ammunition in plastic bags must be taped, heat sealed, or stapled.
• Ammunition in ammo cans must be covered with plastic and that plastic must be secured to the sides of the can with tape, so that the rounds inside cannot be easily removed.
• Vintage or collectable ammunition must be in sealed plastic bags or in a locked glass case. Ammo sold from locked glass cases must be put into sealed, plastic bags at the point of sale.
