I'll make this as quick as I can because the hotel's internet is spotty.
I'm here in Jacksonville for a week-long business trip.
As I was making my rounds of the gun stores, I was told they had a gun show this past Saturday, what luck!
Let me tell you, it's such a different environment than Kali. The prices are so much cheaper...of everything! It was a CGers dream with every kind of pistol, ammo, and magazines that you can think of! The ammo prices were a decent price with a box of 9mm averaging $16 and 45 ACP for about $24. There's definitely a difference of price between a year ago and now. For all you OLL people, it's friggin' HEAVEN for you guys! There were so many AK and AR type rifles, with detachable mags! I could only stare and drool at them 
Unfortunately the ammo situation at the Wally Worlds are the same as back home. I went to the 4 Wallys yesterday and only found 1 that had 3 boxes of 45 ACP. I did not see any of the other handgun rounds except for .25 and some .38 special. Only two of them had .22LR, which I bought because it was only $16 for a brick. It's $26 for a WWB of 9mm and $32 for 45s.
The guns stores ranged from the crappy to the pretty decent-looking ones. I drove over 100 miles driving in-between the gun stores and the gun show - in one day! The employees at the counter were very helpful with my questions and friendly in general. It was obvious that more regular joe-schmos were purchasing firearms from the questions I was overhearing. Hell, I even hear women speaking about tailoring their purse to facilitate a quick draw for their guns. The gun shops' ammo and gun prices were only a few dollars more than the gun shows. The gun prices were very good as the pistols I looked at only had maybe $50 markup from 2 years ago.
The people I've encountered and speaking to were a lot better with their attitude towards firearms. It's sad when I get pity just because I'm from Cali. These people definitely love their guns and won't let their elected officials take them away. I've got 5 more days to enjoy the liberal, gun-loving environment and the damn humidity.
