Agreed, a citation of source is requested and required for such a statement of broad importance.

- Janq is going to Wal Mart tonight, to buy the rest of whatever might be available in 9, 45, and .223

Yup. A source other than the guy working behind the counter is in order here.

And BTW Janq, gotta love how you refer to yourself in the 3rd person. Very Costanza-like

Same-same in OK. Folks, if Wally World, in Oklahoma, isn't replenishing .30-30 ammo in 48* funk ariseth...

Some wally store shelves are quite barren others aren't so bad. Almost all ammo sources are having difficulty keeping stocked.

I just walked in from my trip to Wal Mart.

My local store is sold out of all pistol level centerfire except for 1 box of .38 special, 1 brick of .40 S&W, roughly ten boxes of WWB 124 gr. FMJ in 50 round packs, and two boxes of 115 gr. Blazer also in 50 rd. boxes.
The rest is a _lot_ of .22 which I did not buy as I have close to 5K rounds of that alone amongst various boxes and caches. That was all for pistol. The shelf was picked clean.
I bought the last box of WWB .223 which was in 45 gr. The rest was 30-06 and .308 as well as 7MM which I thought was weird for them to stock. And they have a ton of shotgun ammo in 12 and 20 gauge.
The sports counter manage helped me so I asked if they are going to get a resupply and his response was; "We always are resupplied with ammo!".

:shrug:

Wal Mart in my neck of the woods is bare. One of the guys in the sporting goods dept. said they will have more in a couple of weeks. They said that ammo companies just can't keep up with the Great Obama Scare. Midwayusa (also in my neck of the woods) is pretty bare too.

Get it while the getting is good!!!!

I kind of had a feeling about the upcoming political change, so last summer I bought some ammo every time I went to Wal-Mart. They always had plenty of everything normally stocked.

Hadn't purchased any for a couple of months, so I checked in last Sat. Ammo shelves were almost bare, and even the long gun selection was skimpy.

Guy behind the counter said ammo shipments were sporadic at best, and people carried it away as soon as whatever they got in went behind the glass.

...I work for Wally World in an area with 7 Supercenters. The suppliers are out of stock . My store finally got a supply of WWB .45 100 packs(I think I bought half of them !) I LOVE MY DISCOUNT ON AMMO!!! I attended a gunshow in Little Rock over the weekend and picked up alot of 5.56 AND 30 rnd mags... I was so overcome with joy, my brother in law had to drive us home in my truck!

No...No. No. Stop it. Who told you this? I mean cmon a truly reliable source that I can call on the phone?

There will be no executive order to halt, restrict or ban ammo sales. Not any time real soon or not without due process.

The reason there is no stock at some Wal Marts is that the suppliers/distributors cannot keep up with demand.

I wish everyone would just stop buying the hype.

Are we doomed? Sure. Are we doomed today/tomorrow? No Why? Cause were not gonna go down without a fight first.

Jeepers, lets get a grip.
