I must have been dreaming...

I found a box of .22LR at Walmart this morning.

 

 

Sure, it was just a box of 50 Subsonic, but I bought it.

A sure sign of good things to come. I hope.

I was in our Wal-Mart about lunch time today and wandered by Sporting Goods just for the heck of it.  Plenty of shotgun shells, some rifle cartridges, and 1 box of 17HMR.  That was it.  The person behind the counter said they had not received any ammo in 4 days and the early morning line crowd was starting to get pretty testy this morning when they didn't have anything to put out. 

 

I mentioned that for those of us who work for a living it really wasn't an option to come stand in line at 6:30 just in case some was delivered.  She said she was getting tired of hearing some of the folks in line brag about being unemployed and on government assistance, and how much money they were making tax free by buying ammo and selling it for double or triple the price.  Hmmm this must be part of the government plan to stimulate the economy!  Our tax dollars at work!

The only way the scalpers will go away is if nobody buys from them. Unfortunately in the current climate its not too hard for them to find customers.
