Handgun ammo has started (in the last month or so) to become better stocked in the Wal-Mart I shop at but not as much rifle ammo. However, I've heard that the manufacturers are going to switch over to rifle ammo soon in preperation for hunting season, which means another hangun ammo shortage.
BTW: By better stocked, I mean boxes of 9mm, 40, 357, etc. stay on the shelf for more than a day before they are all gone and tend to show back up in a couple days. Glad I don't have a 380 though, there is still a tag on the shelf where it goes but that section hasn't seen anything but dust in as long as I can remember.
I think the ammo supplies are on their way back up, but it will probably be the other side of hunting season before you can actually expect to walk in to the store and buy what you need first time.
