    I went Friday morning and Saturday morning and they didn’t have any ammo at all.

    Had gone the week before and found some green tip and so my wife and I got our limits.

    Have they not been getting their normal deliveries? Really want some 9MM but I do not want to pay the obscene prices right now.

    I'm not sure that line means a thing. I stood in the line once with 30 others. They opened the door and a store guy hollered out "NO AMMO TODAY". 29 walked right on in....

    I asked him directly and he said no ammo in stock.

    Yep, been sitting in my truck waiting for the store to open. Doors open,I follow the last person in,I head back to the mens clothing section,I look over at the ammo section,only 1 or 2 people there. Seen this multiple times.
    About two months ago. Large boxes(200)of Win 5.56 on the shelves. Probably about 10-12 of them. Shopped for almost 1 hour. Came back by,same amount there. Was pretty cheap also.
    I feel that there is quite a few things going on with guns and ammo sales and especially DISTRIBUTION. --- SAWMAN

    The gun and ammo cases at Pace Walmart yesterday. The clerk asked if he could help me and I said “With what? You don’t have anything to sell. I feel like I should be selling YOU some.”

    Wow, at least the FWB store has some guns! I think I'll have to check out some gun stores when I go to MS on Thursday and see if things are the same there, pretty crazy!

    Gulf Breeze (improper)
    I live in Gulf Breeze and with the Garcon fiasco in place I rarely go to P'Cola. Yesterday, I had to go to P'Cola to pick up some prescriptions for my wife. I got to Academy a 0905hrs and stood in line to get in. When I did get in to try and get some ammo I was told they were all out except rifle. When I got to the counter the only ammo they had was .308. All the hand gun ammo was gone. And all other hunting ammo was gone. Asked what they had and was told 9mm and .380. All gone at 0910hrs.

    Blue Angel walmart ammo cabinet has been empty for weeks. The shotgun shells are dwindling to nothing too. Looks like they may be getting out of it all without the fanfare of a major announcement as with the EBR and handgun ammo. I fear if a major retailer doesn't step up and start selling ammo again; or maybe even the hardware stores like the days of yesteryear, we may be in for a long haul as we get to see predatory pricing from remaining retailers. Hopefully not, but when was the last time you saw a retailer keep prices down when they were the only game in town?

    Stopped in 2nd Amendment in Milton yesterday on my way home from P'Cola. 9mm was priced at $39.99 for 50 rounds. They were just putting out .38 Special for $49.99. .357 mag was also $49.99. Geeeez, a buck a round!!! Before I left all of the .38 Special was gone.

    I've been watching on-line too. 9mm is going for $.65 and up per round; .38 Special for more than a buck a round; .357 mag going for $1.40 and up per round. Get this, .380 going for a buck and up. All when you can get it.

    Its getting to the point that anything is good. Ya could trade it off.
    Pretty much this. Someone out there will need it and either pay through the nose for it or trade.

    Glad I scored a case of 38SPL when the Covid monster hit... ppl started with 556/9MM and left the 38SPL / 308 / 22LR stuff alone for several months.... I just bought what people weren't and I'm sure I could make all my money back selling a case of 38 and a case of 22LR.

    But in 6 months when it's worth even more, I'd be pissed. :p
