Hope this is a good sign!!

[tanzoid13]

Went to my Walmart this morning and spotted these! They were priced at $145/ case. Hope this means things are starting to get back to normal!

[pcrc11]

I'd say if it spends more than a day on the shelf things may be getting back to normal. However I wouldn't count on it. As soon as word gets out it will be long gone. Things wont be getting back to normal until everybody is comfortable leaving ammo on the shelf for the next guy and I dont see that happening any time soon. Honestly how long do think it will be before you can reasonably expect to walk into a Wal-Mart and buy ammo on an as needed basis.

[tanzoid13]

It's nice to at least see some again though.

[Guest nra37922]

But which WalMart location in Knoxville?

[pcrc11]

Kinda looks like Halls, dont think it is East Towne.

[Spots]

Is that 5.56 or 7.62?

[TrickyNicky]

Definitely a good sign. It'd be even better if it was here in Nashville though. ;)

[dlm37015]

Went to Academy in Mt. Juliet. They had a couple of AR's in stock.

It was the Halls Walmart

Its the media to blame and panic to blame. Remember in TN about 4 years ago when a rumor got around that the state was going to run out of gas? Its caused people to go top off thier cars and put extra in gas cans. That caused gas stations to run out and it was hard to get gas for a week.

The same thing is sorta happening with guns and ammo. But its lasting longer cause the media keeps talking and people are still in a panic.

I don't blame the media this time, I blame the politicians. All the anti gun legislation around the country is helping fuel this. If the media didn't report this garbage we'd be complaining about the lack of coverage. As long as the politicians are running around like chicken little, the public will continue the panic buying.

[Guest Cami]

I blame Obismal.

[LawVol]

very tempting, but I'm hoping to one day stumble upon one of the cans of XM855.  Wishful thinking, probably.  

 

it's odd how the price per round on the 500 round Tula spam can is more than that of the 20 round boxes.

[Johnny Rotten]

my walmart received 20000 rounds of tula (40x500 cans) this morning, all gone in 2.5hrs

[Randall53]

One of my local walmarts has empty shelves, a condition they have been in for weeks. At least when I'm there. I asked about 22lr......guy says he hasn't seen any in several weeks. Probably fibbing but oh we'll.

[Krull]

The problem I am running into here is the good ole boy system, they can scan the day before the bar codes and know what is coming in,  They then call their families and friends and they are there waiting to purchase the ammo.  Guess that is the beauty of working at wal mart.  Never thought there was a beauty in it but i guess that would be it right now.

[Guest Pineapple Devil]

and now there is one on armslist locally for sale for $220

[hipower]

Was in the Dickerson Road WW this afternoon. Counter guy told me he hadn't seen a shipment of 22 since late November.

[dlm37015]

Is that as a result of the manufacturer raising prices?

I really hope that isn't true.

[Guest RedLights&Sirens]

Just wondering if all the other WalMarts have a 3 box (total not per caliber) limit per customer? Here in Collierville they have it posted. Someone graffitied on one sign, "when will you have ammo so we can only buy 3 boxes?"

[vontar]

On stuff my local walmart has, I have been watching the prices increase as I buy weekly.  I have watched 10 round turkey 12ga shells go up 3 bucks in the past couple weeks.
