Sportsman.... Where's the Ammo???

I was at wal-mart getting my visiting father-in law a fishing license. While waiting, I looked at the ammo case and it was almost totaly empty except for shotgun shells, and 22's. I asked the clerk about this and he said only a little ammo trickles in and is quickly bought up. What is going on??? Is it like this everywhere??? :(

You have to hit the stores at the right time.

Our Wal Mart has stock out by 8 am. The dealers hit the store about 10 or so. They buy up everything then mark it up. At least that is what they told me.
I have been able to find 9MM if I check back. Also have found .223 at reasonable prices.
I have not been able to find any .45 at decent prices.

Last time I checked they told me that the police officers had been in looking for ammo. They had to qualify and could not find any ammo.

While I need .45 I am going to hold back for awhile in the hopes that supply catches up with the demand.

No real issues where I am. There was a run-up on prices on more Brady Bill ban type guns but the ammo has been readily available.
