I got that also, looks worse than the last time.

Not sure if I can hold out for 1-1/2 to two years unless I start being more careful.

In the last couple of months, I gave 100 rd (each) of 9mm and 45acp, couple boxes of 30 ball, and a couple boxes of 357 HP, to my son’s father-in-law. Gave my daughter 300 rd of 9mm. Just gave my son a case of AE 223 to go with his graduation present of a NIB Bushmaster. Went to the range three times and used up 650 rd of 9mm, a brick of 22lr and 100 rd of 40 S&W.

I visited my local Wal-Mart store a few days ago and they had three boxes of 9MM Luger ammo on the shelf at what seemed a reasonable price but it was a brand I'm not familiar with so I past it up but after clicking on the link postino provided and reading the commentary I'm not so sure I made the right decision. Sure would hate to have to wait 18 to 24 months before it's available again.

I also got that same email this morning. I wonder just where they acquired our email addresses? Ammo is starting to become more available in my part of the country. It is nowhere near back to normal, but pointed in the right direction.

Hopefully now that the U.S. Senate has cut Obummer off at the knees on his plans for our guns and the UN Small Arms Treaty, maybe some folks will take a deep breath and quit purchasing every round of ammo that they can find.

My Alloutdoors.com email had a big 'Cabelas' ad embedded; coincidentally (or not), I had just ordered & received 4 pairs of cargo shorts from Cabelas...
