Has anyone been to walmart lately ?
« on: February 21, 2013, 08:18:36 PM »
My brother in law in Cali just sent me this from down there ....I do not go to Walmart much So if you go let me know what you come up with ....

    quote : Is it me or am I paranoid. Every one of my shooting buddies have been telling me for a while there is no ammo of any kind. This weekend I went shooting skeet and went to go and buy cheap ammo at Walmart. Nothing. I went to two other Walmart's nothing. I got online and it isn't just California it is nation wide. Walmart isn't stocking any ammo anywhere. There isn't even 22 cal. ammo. Something is amiss. Anyone else notice that even gun stores do not have any ammo?? I will tell you the ones I have spoken to have never seen anything like this.

Did you remind your brother of all the anti-gun legislation sweeping over the nation since Sandy Hook? Guys buying up all ammo around the country?

I go there.  I was just in one a little over an hour ago and they have a good selection of rifle ammo (30-06, 270, 300, 243) and lots of shotgun shells.  But .223/7.62 and almost all the handgun ammo is gone.  They limit to three boxes when they do get ammo in.
The only pistol ammo I've been seeing is .40 and .45, but it is the expensive stuff with nickel casing.

The shortage of ammo isn't just a WalMart, or California phenomenon--it's everywhere.  I was at the local WalMart a few days ago, and walking past the gun counter, I noticed that their racks were full of guns of all kinds.  Didn't check out what they had for ammo--I don't need any.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

I've seen all calibers being sold out. even regular ammo like 30/30 30/40 ammo is sold out.
People are gearing up and being prepared for ammo ctrl.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

I went this morning and they didn't have any pistol ammo of any sorts.  Lots of centerfire rifle cartridges.  No 5.56 / 223 or 7.62 x 39 to be had.  I brick of CCI .22 shorts at $10 per box.  Big time shortage everywhere right now.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
