    If it’s in the same locations that ammo is currently sold in, then the machine itself seems no more insecure. I suppose if a current shelf full on ammo is left on the street outside a 7-11, the ammo would also disappear.

      Leaving the ammo out on a shelf outside a 7-11 is not the same as keeping it inside a vending machine outside a 7-11.

        I was responding to your idea that the ammo might be less secure depending on where it is located. That’s true, but the machine itself isn’t any more unsecure than the current way ammo is stored for sale. If the machine is located in the same kinds of places as ammo is currently sold, I don’t see an inherent issue.
