Anonymous Coward User ID: 23534110 United States 12/29/2012 06:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The two Walmart stores I went in this morning were running pretty low. I'm not surprised, I suppose. People are panic buying and its creating an artificial shortage. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21687950 Once this blows over in a couple of months, and I think its going to, demand should fall off and supply should return to normal. This isn't going to blow over in a couple of months, in my opinion anyway. But I hope you're right. |

Also noticed a lot of guys teaching their girls how to shoot at the range. It's funny to see the look of terror when that first shot goes off. My husband and son are making my daughter and I go with them tomorrow to learn to shoot. And yeh, I'm a little nervous! |

Too bad I'll never be able to afford it, but one can always dream! Buying one would definitely put you on a fed watch list. You'd be better off with a Ruger Mini-14. It's more practical, easier to handle, the rounds are less expensive, and it's not as high profile. Ha! I'd never seen one up close so I was instantly enamored. I stood there and just stared at it until we left. Although I love semiautomatic (and fully auto!) rifles, I am thinking of buying a handgun or revolver for self-defense (I'm in TX). I think pink guns are cute and all but I don't want a cute weapon - I like tactical black and silver/black combo better. I don't hunt. If a woman has to utilize a firearm, 99% of the times will be to defend her life, so if I ever have to use it, it will be to drop someone, not because it looks cute in my tiny hands. It has to be the right fit for my small hands, and not impossible for me to shoot as I have arthritis but my fear is always that it may accidental discharge so I'm also trying to learn a little more before making a decision. I think I like revolvers, S&W has some nice ones, but very expensive. I like their model 460v revolver very much. If I was going to buy a handgun I would also buy a revolver, they might hold less rounds, but when your at that moment when your life depends on it, you dont have to worry about jams such as ammo jamming in the gun if you get a hammerless its purse proof.

I'm pretty sure it's nationwide but any additional info we can get might help someone. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8397139 Thanks. We're in Kansas City. Ammo is either sold out or scarce. My husband went to get some last night and had to piece together different kinds to get enough to go to the shooting range tomorrow. He said he finally got some at Cabella's but had to take a number and the line was long. They were packed with people buying guns and ammo. They had a sign up that said, "No Bushmasters, sold out." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 13863414 United States 12/29/2012 07:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Started buying my ammo about 12 yrs ago, back when you could Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1210737 get a 1000rds of 223 for about $100 bucks, and 7.62x39 for $89 bucks for a 1000rds. Box of 30/30 was about $7 for 20rds., 308's were about 5 dollars for 20rds before they became real popular, and back then I could afford to buy many cases of each caliber for the guns I now have. If I started to stock up now on the ammo, I couldn't afford 1/5 of what I now have, and I have a LOT of ammo. Just saying. |

Quoting: jonesin I find this disturbing. That's because if they make a bunch of bullets that don't have the new tracking chip and they don't sell , then they will be screwed.After 2013 it will be illegal to own any ammo without the new tracking tech in the casing and slug. All ammo will be registered , and illegal to resell or give away. Last Edited by <x> on 12/29/2012 07:19 PM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31052866 United States 12/29/2012 09:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I noticed that the local Walmart still has 9, 40 and 45 but completely out of all 223/556. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28870983 I expect them to make owning gun powder illegal or force anyone buying it to register and have to buy a license. One or the other, real soon. I was just told by the local Walmart sporting goods guy that "no Walmart in the United States has them". I thought it was interesting that he worded it that way as I was only asking if his store had any. And he felt it necessary to bring up the state of the nationwide supply chain. |
