To: null and void
And this afternoon at about 1PM I was told to my face by the elderly Wal-Mart sporting goods clerk that ammo was "on hold" and wasn't being resupplied. This is consistent with not accepting any more orders for ammo, computerized replenishment or not.

I suspect this is a distribution issue.

It shows the American Psyche.

Tell us we can’t have something or supplies are limited and the race is on to get it.

At least the gun and ammo manufacturers are going to have a good year this year.

Many dedicated ammo businesses have also frozen orders. They are out of product and they have ceased taking back orders, because they too are on a back order list for reapply. Ammo factories in the US are running 24/7 and are falling farther and farther behind.

Walmart is in the same boat. They’ve emptied their warehouses and what is coming in is a small percentage of demand.

Yesterday, Jan/14 the regular Wal-Mart sporting goods clerk told me the warehouse was “empty” and popular calibers were gone as soon as she put them on the shelf. She can’t get replacement ammo fast enough but didn’t use the word “hold” in the conversation.

As usual, what we hear is all over the map, huh?
