Polling places were not the only sites around the Region attracting long lines Tuesday morning.
Customers rushed in first thing to the Blythe's Sport Shops in Valparaiso and Griffith and snatched up 80,000 rounds of 9mm ammo in 30 minutes Tuesday, according to Chief Operating Officer Kyle Goranson.
The entire shipment that had arrived the night before is gone, he told The Times about noon Tuesday.
This has been the way gun and ammo sales have gone since the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in March, Goranson said. He likened it to the rush that had left store shelves empty of toilet paper.
Other types of ammo have also been tough to find as well, including slugs for hunting, Goranson said.
This has left gun enthusiasts with the option of paying high prices at gun shows or trying their luck when shipments arrive at stores with little notice, he said.

I’ve thought the American people would just roll over and accept a D-stolen election. But with all these reports— maybe not
....unless its all ANTIFA & BLM assholes buying them up!
I’m feeling pretty damned smart right now. Laid in 6,000 .224 62 grain soft points that were factory seconds from Midway last year.
When Dicks closed out all their ammo I snagged every box of Hornady 300 grain 12 gauge slugs they had at $7 a box.
When Cabelas had milsurp 12 gauge buckshot for $4 a box I damn near filled the cart.
Last summer I loaded up in Hornady 200 grain HP in .45 and the 158 grain pills in .38. Same thing with the .429 stuff. (.44 magnum for those who don’t reload).
900 Sierra Match Kings for the .308.
And believe it or not .50 BMG ammo can be had for $3 a round. Got a can full of that. Also have two .30 caliber ammo cans stuffed to the brim with .22 ammo.
Been cranking the press till I think my arms will resemble Popeye’s.
L
80,000? They told me they only had 79,000 rounds.
Good news is...it was free shipping.
Who is going to fired the first shot in the coming Civil War.
The democrats have p***** off 10’s of thousands of voters
*chuckle*
See my tagline.
JoMa
Ammo is going to be in short supply and expensive for years to come.
“Who is going to fired the first shot in the coming Civil War.”
We are still a long way off from a CWII. It will take mass gun confiscation or camps.
DUDE! You know how rich you are right now? LOL!
For actual use. 50 rounds can change the world.
Yup. Can shoot down airliners at 30,000 feet I hear tell. :-)
“10’s of thousands of voters” = 10’s of millions of voters
“...Who is going to fired the first shot in the coming Civil War....”
Way I figure it, the Dems already did. Ask Steve Scalise and a couple other Trump supporters.
My question: do the many who have the guns and ammo have the actual ability to use them if it comes down to it?
Saying you do is one thing. Actually pulling a trigger with another human being in your sights is much more difficult than most people think.
.224? .001 better than .223??
;-)
So you made into Montgomery , wasn’t able to get there myself , maybe tomorrow ,just a few odd7ends for the reloading.....
odd7ends = odd & ends
