Selling bullets may be the most secure job in Florida as long as supplies last.
After months of heavy buying, gun dealers across the state are experiencing shortages.
Some say it began with the election of President Barack Obama. Others say it's about the economic downturn or fear of crime. Whatever the reasons, ammunition has been selling like plywood and bottled water in the days before a hurricane.

I posted this over a month ago.
Duh.
So is my local Wal Mart.
Yep, locally in south Florida the shortages are getting severe. Cutting into range time ...
What are the lotto numbers tomorrow ?
Because as we all know:
Guns don't kill people, it's those little hard things that come out of em' that kill people.
yep still true today...my walmart shelves are all but empty...i am looking for 30/30’s and 357’s have enough 22’s
There’s no connection here.
It’s just coincidence.
Online, you can hardly find any of certain calibers.
Found some in a local shop, but it’s about 30% higher than it was last year.
I have been buying all the stuff I can find.
My local Walmart was out of 12 ga buckshot, 9mm, and .38 cal by the end of November. When I checked last week they still had some bird shot, plenty of .22 cal and 30-06, but no .308. They akso had plenty of .45 cal; that is until I got there.
they probably mean ammo.
when I buy bullets, I load them into cases to make ammo.
typical MSM being blind to the facts.
Fleet Farm suck. They want you to fill out forms in triplicate to buy a box of ammo from them.
at least they do in MN. Does Wal-mart do this?
Good luck. Components are scarce too. Primers in particular. I even had trouble getting powder for reloading .410 shotshells... not the most high demand item.
The WM here has been out of .45 since mid Dec.
Some say the thug’s getting elected.
Some say the upswing in crime.
Some say the economic wreck.
So, what, those are separate events?
Can’t find gunpowder for reloading either.
Anyone know where I can get a used M1A1 Abrams cheap? Also, someone to enlarge my garage to get it in?
woops...forgot the LOL :-)
Have been to three wal-marts, 2 sports authorities and a dicks.
Cannot get 380 hollow point or 38 special hp anywhere. None of those companies are expecting any new stock. Period.
