Me too. I went by a local gun store the other day and you could hardly move in the place for all the people checking out the guns, buying guns and buying ammo, which we were. All of our shops around here always have full parking lots when you drive by.
22LR has once again disappeared from the stores.
This is a leading indicator of new gun owners, IMHO. People get something to small to train with first, and 22LR ammo becomes as scarce as hen’s teeth.
