I haven’t been to one in a while and I knew prices would be high but I’ve never seen anything like yesterday.

I’ve been going to shows since the early 90s and it wasn’t anywhere close to this bad when the Assault Weapons ban was being debated.

Parked vehicles stacked up several blocks on either side of the service road in front of the Sports Arena. Crowded as hell inside.

Prices were amazing. $525 for a half case of 5.56. Hornady 6.5 Creedmore for $75 per box.

Most pistol ammo a dollar per round.

I am glad I stocked up the last few years.

I keep reading wait until prices drop, but this time feels different than the previous panic buying.

Always found gunshots to be a little on the trashy side

Freaking hoarder...

Just kidding. I am as well and not worried about the shortage other than shotgun shells for my sons trap.

I passed by yesterday coming home from work and was amazed by the amount of cars parked along the service road. I’ve never seen that many.

I went to Bass Pro in Bossier City yesterday for first since the election. It didn't have bare shelves where ammo would be.....the ammo shelves were stocked w/ other, non-ammo items such as plastic gun cases, plastic ammo cases, etc. NO rifle, handgun or rimfire ammo at all in the entire store. The reloading section had a total of about 10 boxes of bullets. Probably 20-30 boxes of various shotgun shells. Most of the reloading section was also stocked w/ non-reloading items. Academy in BC and it was even worse. One entire aisle empty while the other had about 10 boxes of shotgun shells. I'm okay because I've been buying 8# kegs of powder instead of 1# and I have gradually built up my inventory of primers and bullets. Regardless, I'm concerned for the future due to the new administration and the different direction the country is taking.
