Ammo shortage is over at Sportsman's on 82nd for this morning.

I'm kind of surprised they'd blab it out to the masses on twatter, or what ever. It's likely to give the hoardergougers plenty of time to call their minions to assist in emptying the shelves before the "Casual" ammo searchers wander in later in the day.

The new rule as of yesterday is 2 boxes total period,maybe that will discourage the line ?
Prob not

 

[P7M13]

Like the old hockey joke, "I went to a boxing match and guys were buying ammo...."

 

[Old Noob]

I'm number 12 in line.

 

[Old Noob]

Hope that is 2 boxes per cal. Limit.

 

[Major Payne]

Hope that is 2 boxes per cal. Limit.

Went by the one in Vancouver yesterday,it's total and they were enforcing it
2 boxes total or one mega pack

 

[Old Noob]

Well, I would be happy with a mega pack of 9mm. I'm close to the store not a big deal.

 

[Old Noob]

Well guy came out and told us the story. Yes one mega pack or two boxes of 50 is the limit. No matter what cal.

 

[The Heretic]

What time do you open and is there a limit?

1:00PM to 1:01 PM on April 1st
Limit is one .22 LR round per household - cost is $1 cash (no checks or money orders)
Must have Oregon Real ID, CHL, Vaccination card and US passport (must not be expired)

In one if not two stores... the clerks FILLED UP a few empty shelves with BEAR SPRAY!

My stock of bear spray is getting a little old - thanks for the tip!

Advertising. Foot traffic. Some rube might just buy that cool diamond encrusted Swarovski spotting scope for $40,000..

pretty much. and we have shiiity members on here too scalping from bimart. The same #250 round range packs I bought at bimart for $62 are selling on here for $200. The same federal 9mm i picked up yesterday for $15 a box, I saw on armslist for $50 a box.

The gun community is doing the same thing to itself as the TP shortage, except its reselling to eachother.

I dont see why we need members on this site that use it strictly for scalping during a shortage.

and to the post earlier in the thread. The lady's at my 2 local bimarts say the same thing. Its the same 5-10 people EVERY morning waiting.

Well, I'm not selling the ammo I bought today. I'm planning on shooting it up tomorrow!
Far as people bubbleguming about resellers. I don't care.
It is called the American way! Glad I can still say that. Not sure how much longer we will be able to.

Pretty much in agreement. it's not always to *my* advantage but gaming the system to survive and pay for housing or food or loss of a job, kids etc can't be faulted. For now, I'm not going to get into the nuances of people's lives and economic situation to judge their need for survival....no more so than I would if they bought house, car, or firearm low and sold high.

I don't think it's necessarily the American way, more like just human nature. Buying up a scarce product to resell it for an obscene profit is something that has happened in every country in the world since the beginning of civilization. The difference is that in a free country it's legal. It's also perfectly legal to gripe about it.

In countries were it's not legal, it's called the black market. It's still there and thriving, just not legal.
