Didn't Have a Clue There Was Another Ammo & Gun Shortage!

[PaulB47]

"Not sure why folks pound Cabelas so much?"

That's probably where you would buy too, if you were a noobie.

"Employee told me they are still getting daily shipments and everything is selling out that day, usually before noon! Total and utter BS (to put it mildly)."

This is actually good news. The people buying this stuff are almost all noobies; the rest of us are already well stocked up, right? Anyway the more guns and ammo are out there circulating around, the more impossible gun control becomes. I want America awash in guns and ammo. (As if guns were liquid...)

I don't see any shortage of ammo on my shelves :

That's all you have?!?!?

Lol, I was going to type that!

 

[nammac]

Heck, after seeing that I feel like an ammo emporium

The part I LOVE is when other shooters hear how much I keep. Look at me like I'm "strange". Then another panic shortage comes up and who do they come too, looking all sheepish, wondering if I can help?

I have learned to stack 'em deep, both factory fresh and components... Don't want to be caught short...

No, that's all I have put on the shelves so far. I am still rounding it up. I think I have a couple thousand more somewhere that I have not found yet.

Bear in mind, that is at least 50K rounds of ammo (granted - about 30K of that is rimfire).

This would be my response:

Went into my local Cabela's for fun today and could not believe my eyes!

The ammo shelves were empty, as well as a lot of the gun cases and racks!

Again... didn't have a clue! Guess I've been locked up too long! Gawd... here we go again!!

Looks like the toilet paper roll aisle did, a few weeks ago in Albertsons!

Best watch out, advanced warning, winters coming.

Was in the Beaverton (SW Western Ave.) Bi-Mart today. Where the aisles are usually full top to bottom with ammo, now they're bare (or filled with other things), and the little ammo they've got is behind the counter where they normally keep the self-defense ammo (which is mostly what's there now). I left empty handed. Not a big deal as I'd also been stocking up.

Go to www.targetsportsusa.com. Buy it by the case and get free shipping. Bought from them for years, always great and fast service. Just order a case of Lawman 9mm 124 grain.

Same is true for the TV Highway store in Hillsboro

Shortage?
No. No shortage.
Panic buying?

It's also due to lots of people that finally opened their eyes and are buying a firearm for the first time, as well as those that realize it's okay to have more than one.

The "shooters".. (Firearms Enthusiasts). Heck, the news shows pics of a few boxes of ammo and 4-5 guns and calls it "An Arsenal" and " Hundreds of round of ammunition" Do we? Or don't we? Wish they knew the truth?

Well, with all the uncivilized savages rioting, guns & ammo will be in short supply for a long time.

 

[The Heretic]

Just sold 1400 rds of 7.62x51. There is another ad of 1K of the same ammo in the classifieds by someone else. Get it while it is hot.

Thinking of selling my .50 BMG ammo. I figure about 400 rds of various - ball, API, APIT and a small amount of very special ammo.

When you can't recall where you left a couple thou rounds, you know you probably have plenty. ;-)

 

[ma96782]

I suspect more empty shelves after last night's Portland protests (riot).

And now......

Los Angeles......watch CNN and see the live feed.

Aloha, Mark

As many are likely discovering to their dismay- it's a good idea to have some stuff stocked up for rainy days... even if it's only a few hundred rounds of this and that...
