Don’t know if it’s the same there, but here in Albuquerque the shelves are bare. Almost no ammo anywhere. Scary stuff. Can’t even get powder for reloading shotgun shells.

I was at the Bass Pro Shop in Clarksville, Indiana a few weeks ago and most of their ammo shelves were bare. Surprisingly, there were several large cases of 5.56, 9mm, and .45ACP still on the shelf, along with quite a bit of reloading supplies (but no powder). I spoke with the salesman and he informed me that they have already doubled last year’s sales of both firearms and ammo.

Our local Walmart has shelves loaded with regular hunting shot gun shells.

Their locked case for what would be classified as large game ammo and home/shelf protection ammo has a few more stockings since the November election.

They have a posting on the glass doors which looks like it is from their home office stating: “A limit of 6 boxes of shells per customer per day!”.

Here in NJ, can’t find any 9mm, .38, .357, .45, .22lr, 12g slugs/00 buck, 5.56, 7.62 anything, etc. When visiting family a few months ago in PA, a local store had about 40 cases of Winchester .223 non-milspec. I went back there three weeks ago and all that was left was 1 box of Winchester 5.56.
