    Panic buying

    My LGS is a big5. Stopped in this afternoon and they are pretty barren of rifles and ammo.

    They actually DID have a lot of .22lr left. No 9mm at all.

    I presume this is happening everywhere?

    where?

    Yes, the panic buying of guns and ammunition has also been reported in the mainstream news in addition to this forum.

      Just posted my experience today at Turner's in another thread but in summary, only 10 customers allowed in the store at a time which lead to lines forming outside of the store, very little .223/5.56 and still a decent amount of 9mm and .22LR when I was there but I believe the common calibers will be sold out in the near future.

        Were you, by any chance, on that same retreat as Jared Leto?

            The sheep started with tp, now its ammo. The media started the frenzy, and like clockwork the idiotic sheep follow.
            I just buy what i need when i need it, no extra purchases.

              Pretty soon they will be buying up batteries.

                Don't worry there will be a new item on the panic buyer's list coming soon. Don't know what it is yet, but I'm certain there will be something.

                  That's already happening

                    Went by Big5 today. All 18.5 inch shotguns are sold. None in any bay area stores.

                      I'll have to check my local Big5, tomorrow. I know they had $50 off $289.99

                        So what do you guys think. A box of 9mm/45acp = a 6 pack of TP ?
                        It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.

                              10/22s? I've been wanting one. Maybe I'll stop by. What about 40s&w? I hear that's usually in stock during times like this
