I agree that I don't think it will come to Texas, but I honestly didn't think there was enough momentum for any kind of comprehensive gun control law like what was passed through CT. I am just simply shocked that people actually think more laws will help curb law breakers...

At the end of the day, all we can do is prepare for the worst and work toward the best.

I've adopted the same thought process. Luckily, I'm not in a position that I have to have any of it right now, but this nonsense has taught me the days of just going to Wal-Mart or Academy when I need a little ammo to shoot are gone. I'll just be patient and just buy ammo when I find it at normal retail prices.

Brother those are wise words.

It takes 2 to tango, the buyer and the seller in the resale market are part of the problem. The other part is the hoarder, the person that keeps buying ammo even when he has no need for it.

Yup. Words to live by.

So today at BPS Grapevine, there was an ammo shipment that came in overnight and they opened at 9am. Within 15 minutes they had sold out of 9mm. My BIL went to get us some and he had been told by a cousin they were getting some ammo today. I don't know any details about the buying spree, but he did say they sold fast and furious and I have to imagine there were as many people buying for themselves as there were buying to flip.

It is still craziness out there...

everybody is doing that.

Its not illegal you just cannot do it constantly for a living. you can buy and trade up though! Flipping ammo is kind of a grey area. I can sell my personal stock for a profit.

Things are looking better for availability. I saved this thread for comparison.

Still have our guns. And you can buy ammo as well as new guns.

Actually there is a lot of ammo you can't buy anywhere due to unavailability. Just wait and see what we get after Hillary is elected by the millions of illegal aliens who will vote and nothing will stop it.

Just curious what common ammo cannot be readily bought now.

22 mag

I never have a problem getting it Ricky. Just have to know people.

But it's not readily available to everyone

I'm guessing people buying much more 22 magnum than ever expected. Much more than production can keep up. Was it ever a high sales volume round in the last ten years prior to the run on ammo?

Any other common ammo that is difficult to find now?

I never have trouble finding any. You may have to pay a little more or a little less. That is your choice, but is all out there.

The funny thing is I only have trouble finding .22 mag when I HAVE a .22 mag...as soon as I sell my .22 Mag rifle the stuff is everywhere...funny how that works.

Buyer versus Seller threads are so entertaining and someone said it on the first page.......

Basic economics......some understand it and others do not...... Very simple to understand and it runs the world so not sure how some don't get it.

Found some at Walmart yesterday, they had about 10 boxes of it but no Long Rifle.

I am not in Wal mart much but when I am I cruise the ammo counter, rarely do they have any 22lr but maybe some Winchester 100 rd Super X packs.

I was in Bass pro Grapevine yesterday and they had a ton of 22lr, just not any of the Winchester bulk packs I like.

One common round that I often see low or no stock of is .357 Mag.

Really glad I picked up a little at a time while supplies were plentiful and prices low. I'm sure there will be some folks doing some panic buying after this latest incident.

Yipper.

Interesting to read this thread from three years ago.

Hopefully some lessons were learned and folks aren't short of supplies now. Can't help but wonder if the same people panic each time.

I grew up in an area (and era) where you put up a little extra of everything just in case you needed it. No need for hording, but laying in what you need to just to bridge a simple shortage or a bigger emergency - is just common sense.
