From local gun shops to WalMart to sporting goods stores, the story is the same: When the store gets a shipment of ammo, particularly .45, 9mm, and .38 handgun ammunition, “people come in and they buy it all.”
I was through Wally World Saturday. Outside of hunting ammo, there was one lone box of .357 sig, one of .30 Carbine and a few boxes of .380. No other pistol ammo. No bulk .22LR. No .223, 7.62x39 or .308.
Am I hording? Sort-of.
Since the midterm election I've been buying more ammo than I shoot, a box or two every paycheck. Lately concentrating on bulk .22, powder and primers for handloading, and bullet molds for casting. Also adjusting my collection.
Dang...I have been looking for .380 shells in San Antonio for weeks with absolutely no luck. I even stopped by the Cabela’s in Ft. Worth on my way back from MO yesterday. He said they got a shipment in on Saturday and it was gone by Sunday afternoon. I inherited my late Dad’s Belgian .380 (was my Grandfather’s originally) and plan to use it to get my CCW license to honor his patriotism. He was my hero.
