    Panic buying

    I stopped by Turners in Norwalk to buy some 9mm and was told it's a three hour wait and the store was packed, anyone else experience this at there local store?

    Yes
    Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
    I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

      Well, there's usually a 1-2 hour wait at Turners anyway... 3 hours isn't too much more.

      Considering that they do so many additional time-consuming internal procedures for each transaction, it takes a Turner's employee about 20-30 minutes to finish with just one customer.

      Doesn't take many customers to create a 3 hour wait at Turners.

            And I've got ammo for sale in the classifieds, and the only people that pm me are narcs trying to get me to break the law.

            And I'm selling it for exactly what I paid for it at Wal-Mart.

                    That's crazy. You can't kill coronavirus with 9mm and you probably can't wipe your azz with it either.

                    Went to Turner's in Fountain Valley in the afternoon earlier in the week to get an adventure pass and a fishing license. Only a few people in the place. However, there was this one Asian guy there who was looking to buy his 1st gun. He didn't know 1 gun from another. He stood out because I had just read the thread on CG about Asians arming up due to the coming apocalypse. Now that I think of it, I wish I spoke up and suggested to him that he go to the Firing Line and sign up for their Handgun Safety class.

                      Funny I bought different 30-06 in nevada to see what my savage grouped best with.
                      Shot it all and barnes turned out the best, all copper for ca hunting.
                      While browsing 9mm and 223/556 They had plenty and I mean plenty.
                      Bit can't buy and bring any so I didnt bother.
                      This seems like ca is panicking the most.

                        I am down in Texas going shooting tomorrow. Will check on what ammo stocks are like here. I don't need any. I will sell some of mine when I get home. I have .223 and 9mm to sell. Lots of 22 lr. Lots of lead shotgun for target practice.
