I can't find any ammo anywhere, at least for a reasonable price.

I have a pretty good stockpile. I'm hoping that will last me until the hysteria dies down and bit and the prices go back to normal.

I wish I would have. I never thought 9mm ammo would come down to this.

+1

Check Wally World every time you are in there. Have your mom or SO do the same thing. The Winchester white box 100 rd packs come in all the time but don't last long.

That's part of how I built my stockpile.

Holy cow. That would last me 3 lifetimes.

To the OP, the local Wal Mart has had plenty. Check listings for a no brand store that sells ammo.

Academy had Blazer 350 rds for $99. I bought Winchester for $12.95 @ Wal Mart.

Same here. I would usually get a box every time I was in there. Another $22 bucks on the Walmart receipt was hardly noticeable.

I was buying 9mm every time i ran across a great deal and its a good thing because my range hasn't had any handgun ammo when I was there in almost a month.

Luckily I have enough for a while but I have started shooting more .22 than normal to slow the 9mm, .40, .45 use.

I'm sure this has been discussed adnauseum but why the panic over ammo. Especially non rifle ammo?

Man, I have no idea why people freak out and buy shotgun, hunting, 9mm,and .22 bullets, but it is pissing me the hell off.

I mean, who the frick needs a bunch of dry locks for home defense?

Not being able to buy some .22lr to shoot some squirrels is quite excessive.

Think Obama is purposely inducing panic to get some money flying around somewhere

would that not be some crap if this was the whole reason for all the gun ban talk to boost the economy with gun and ammo sales.

Well, I'd have to give him some credit then. It would be the most successful thing he's done

He's a genius, of course that's what he did

I wonder just how much money has been spent over all this hoopla over what would normally be spent. Small stimulus package levels? I'd venture to bet that it's approaching 2 billion. 1.4 million guns x a very low 500 a gun equals 700 million. Add in the ammo and accessories and it is a mind boggling number.

I have said that exact thing for a long time. Every time they do this, it makes people spend all of their excess cash on guns and ammo
