View From Cabaela's & Bass Pro Shop--WOW Getting Real Folks!!!

It's already happened. Primers and bullets completely gone everywhere. Very little powder left and its the shit brands. Brass already skyrocketing on backpage.

tucson as well....

Post pictures of what you claim. Even a child can blot out faces with MS Paint if it was beyond your capabilities then you wouldn't be able to post on this forum so post proof.

Guys, this is nothing more than a way for the gun and ammunition companies to put some extra cash in their pocket. Profiting off fear under the illusion of shortage. It's a marketing strategy and nothing more. But I understand the constant need for false paranoia, and as I wont be refreshing my browser or checking back to see the slew of hate received for not buying into the panic it would be best advised to not respond.

Like the fake oil shortages/scarcity. There's no doubt plenty of ammo being made by manufacturers, it's just not being shipped out to stores where citizens can buy it. It's about damn time, let's get this shit on with.

this is something people need to think about... everyone is so quick to think up conspiracies about all these corporations, banks, governments, etc... so, why wouldn't gun and ammo companies be any different???

people waking up....music to my ears

They'll turn em in for food or give them up.

I was trying to find the statistics. The number of people who've not cleaned their guns in a long time is very high. Same with actually shooting at the range. Worse a lot of people have NEVER shot their guns. Even worse in my opinion is a lot have never fired their guns without hearing protection. When you shoot with no hearing protection, at least once but better a couple of time, you realize how LOUD they are, and so you won't be able to use your hearing in a real gun battle. That could really confuse all these new owners.

You have to practice. There's no sense in buying one and not learning how to use it, plus stay calm because you're going to pumped up from the fear and excitement. PRACTICE.

Why would they want to round everyone up and spread chaos making us vulnerable to everything else. Soldiers would be going after there own family.

This is about something else. If they wanted to start civil unrest they'd just kill the power and fucking do it.

Cabelas in Lacey Wa

I went looking on Saturday. There were still a couple "dangerous" looking rifle's, but couldnt get close enough to see what calibur. More than likely 22's, but was surprised to see them too. Would have picked up the Highpoint carbine in a 40cal if it was there. Why 40 you ask? Here tell there was a huge ammount of this ammo being made that just might get delivered to my door ;-)

Ammo was limited to 10 box's per customer and I saw pretty much every popular round. 9, 38, 22, .06, 308, 223, 7.62, 357, 40, 44, 45.... Lots of people buying tho. Got an update from a buddy this afternoon who was there this am. They were restoking ammo shelves, but same 10 box limit in place.

Plenty of hand guns available. Yes, less than normal, but still there. Semi's and revolvers. Many bolt/lever action rifles both new and used. Mags and accesories pretty much gone. I didnt talk to a clerk as waiting close to an hour to ask "doom scenerio" questions wasnt part of my plan.

Our cabelas is allways packed and the gun area is allways congested. This trip was differant tho. The talk of bans and what not was the main thing people were talking about. I would say the crowd was not double a normal visit, but close.

A local Fred Meyers recently started selling guns and ammo so I checked there as well. One old lady at the counter talking about her collection :-) I pitty the fool who tries to take hers lol She is ready.

Out of four glass cases they had only two left with hand guns. Again, both semi's and revolvers. Brand names and decent selection of calibur. Had a small supply left of most rounds. The clerk told me that they are not ordering untill the pending actions are taken. Then they will see. She did say however that a customer can order and they will do that. Question is what is available. She could not check on a Sunday.

Went to one other local gun store. Small place that I dont go to often. Higher gun and ammo prices are normal at this shop. Very little ammo or guns. The salesperson here had an interesting bit of input. He said that manufactures normally let everything kind of run low at the end of each year. He mentioned inventory and taxes as the reason. I have no idea. He said this time of year things can get a bit low regardless, but with all the panic buying, everyone is just running out of last years inventory. He said makers had allready begun trying to play catch up and were running non stop....?

Over all impression. Lots of people buying up whats left to be had, no real idea when or if things will be "normal" again. I did not notice any price inflation. People seem very concerned about what the near future will hold. Lots of talk of "I will not comply" with any new laws or bans.

I only know 2 people who reload and both said biggest problem for them right now is primers.

Good luck everyone.

I'm emailing from my phone to the computer but for some reason the phone has the little "clocky-thingy" showing its trying to send them but it hasn't transmitted them. I sent them to my brother earlier while I was on the road. Will ask him to send me back a copy. I don't know how to "MS paint" out the faces but I've got one shows the backs of a guy and his kid that I think will be ok. May be tomorrow but you'll see pics.

And on top of that, most of these people have the guns in their names, which makes them a target when they come for the guns. Better be prepared to use your firearms if you intend on keeping them.

Gee whizzz... 20 minutes?

Your body would be cold by the time they get there.

If you mean by kill the power take out the electric grid or drop an emp bomb, that is most likely the next big event. All out chaos would ensue.

I wrote about that on the topic in my sig. It's possible that some corporations are deliberately doing it to make us buy weapons and ammunition (mostly on credit I bet), then they confiscate them for nothing by saying all those weapons are dangerous. I don't think it's plausible though.

The alternative would be to tell people not to buy them, and I won't drink that Kool-aid. NOT EVER!

You have to realize that perhaps 100 megacorporations own the whole freaking world. Always better to be armed.

A lot of people are NOT prepped in other areas though. They need weapons/ammunition/training but also food/water/medicine/skills.

Added a link, there are 147 mega corporations, but 50 that own the lion's share.

Is this really a surprise to anyone? Creepy sons of bitches.

About 6 or 7 years ago, the feds bought up all the Mountain House #10 cans of just about everything to stock their bunkers. Couldn't get any for several months. This was NOT for the military.

They had already bought up all the Mountain House freeze dried steaks (yes MH used to sell steaks!) Mountain House doesn't carry them for sale to the public anymore, but I'll bet they still sell them to somebody.

You are absolutely full of shit. That's why you don't have the balls to come back and check the responses to your BS.

Oh, it's even creepier than THAT.

Who do you think is PAYING for the government to buy out all the ammo?

and they tell us we can't own more than 7 days of food? the hell with them.

The Bible definitely states that the leaders of the one world system, which they are establishing right now, will be thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Those who are complicit with them (shills), unless they repent before their hearts become totally deluded and hardened will be thrown into the lake of fire FOREVER. Forever means for eternity...that's a long long time to pay for being a part of the forces of darkness. Rev 20;10

I agree, a firearm in the hands of an inexperienced user can be a problem, like they can accidentally shoot themselves or someone else. From my experience, lots of gun shops are owned by retired military or law enforcement folks. More than once I have heard sales people telling newbies what range they can take a gun class at. I would like to think if someone is going to invest money in purchasing a firearm, they would also invest the time and money in learning how to use it.

If not...one less idiot to deal with. We can't save everyone! LOL

the government started the run on ammo....

Without GLP All out chaos would ensue. :)

Nope, what they would do is deliberately deploy say the Indiana National Guard to Missouri and therefore they wouldn't be going after anyone they knew.

They also might use Canadians to do the same and our troops there.

Shit just got real. And fast.
