Does anyone miss...

[nrakid88]

The days where it didn't feel like the sky was falling? The days when you didnt have to wait god knows how long to get guns. The days when ammo was on the shelves... I just can't wait till it gets back to normal... this stuff is driving me nuts.

[Black Majik]

Yeah. Truthfully the whole situation has taken a toll on how much I enjoy the sport. Black rifles are the last things on my mind, but when it gets tough to even find ammo to shoot my .22, it gets pretty irritating.

Dammit, I hoarded the wrong ammo.

[nrakid88]

Yeah, I actually can't get as into the hobby as I used to. I mean I cant even shoot my .22's because I dont know if I will be able to replenish my ammo stock I have for them....

[Plisk]

I don't so much remember the non-sky-falling feeling, or ammo on the shelves but more so all the now amazing deals I passed up on last year for various handguns and rifles. So much possiable profit lost...

[chickenfried]

I dunnho. Buying ammo at walmart used to be boring and only controlled by how much I was willing to spend. I scored some ammo at walmart yesterday and felt like I won the lottery.

Heh... I still own cases of 9mm and .45ACP I bought for $99.70 and $199.70 respectively.

Oh possible profit...

$25 Australian battle packs. I got pissed off at myself for reluctantly paying $35 for South African battlepacks for a shoot I had the next day.

$80/1000 7.62. x39

7.62x51/1000 for Radway Green $139 was considered gouging.

Turners when they had sales, the Springfield XD was $419.


Times when Wolf WAS **** instead of now "If Wolf doesn't run in your gun your gun is ****. Funny how it works now.

Yeah, even only just a few years ago, things have changed a lot. Then again, from 08' to 09' was a significant change as well.

Vent over.

[hkusp9c]

At least you guys had those days. I got into firearms this year, so I wouldn't even know those good old days..

[gcvt]

I miss it terribly. This weekend's camping trip is going to see lots and lots of .22LR but very little .223, .40 an 12g. I wish it was the other way around.

[Fjold]

California had a 3 day waiting period for handguns starting in 1956 so I don't think that many people remember when they weren't in effect.

[swerv512]

only been around for about 5-6 years but i can recall all those times when i should have bought ammo and arms but passed up too many good deals.... what can ya do besides hope that more of those good-ol' days are just around the corner...

[HowardW56]

Yeah, I actually can't get as into the hobby as I used to. I mean I cant even shoot my .22's because I dont know if I will be able to replenish my ammo stock I have for them....

I don't know if I can replentish any of the calibers I shoot, it has taken a toll on my enjoyment of the sport

[leitung]

Yeah I am starting to sink out of the sport. I havent gone shooting in a while, and I am not planning on buying any new guns. When I do find ammo, it's so expensive I can't afford it.

Hopefully things will change soon..

[Salty]

Yeah, I've about had it with people hording ammo like there is no tomorrow. It's made casual target shooting an unaffordable PITA. I was gearing up for a camping trip recently, and there were some calibers that I just wasn't able to find, or wasn't able to find in the quantity I wanted or price that I could afford. I feel silly for buying my 30/30 now. The price of the ammo has begun to outweigh the fun factor.

[Rhyyke]

only got into guns last year and already it feels like another universe. can only imagine what it was like in the real old days, when you could get an steyr AUG in a gun store... T_T

[jazman]

I went to Reeds the other day with a friend. I brought enough ammo for me: couple boxes of +P Gold Dots for the Smith and Colt, couple boxes of 9 for the Glock, brick of .22 for the Buck Mark (didn't use it all of course). My friend planned on buying what he needed at Reeds. Not. They were totally out of .45 and 9mm. I gave him my 9 so he could shoot his Sig. I have never seen a range out of ammo. Amazing. I haven't had much patience for the dicks who are cleaning out ammo whenever they find it, but I have zero patience now. If we don't share, if we don't just buy what we need instead of cleaning out whatever Walmart or other stores get in that day we will drive people out of the gun hobby. Is that what you greedy bastards really want?
