I'm out here in Laramie, Wyoming and the WalMart has nothing but a few odd-ball things and some sport shotgun shells. Guy behind the counter said he's sick of havin' nothin' to sell. Drove to Cheyenne last week---they had two boxes of .357 and that was about it... Does anyone know exactly why the manufacturers aren't providing stock? Rumor I heard from the clerk was that they all have decided to appease Obama by implementing micro-stamping & they need time to get set up for it.

It's simple supply and demand. In this case demand is out pacing supply.
The clerk you spoke with is full of it.

Been to two local Wal-Marts and have seen the same thing. Glad I stocked up before the election.

This scare about ammo micro-stamping is a load of ****. The rumors were spread by the company that is trying to sell the technology for the micro-stamping. The bills introduced in the state legislatures requiring this stamping are going nowhere. We may have ammo supply/price problems but not because of this.
In the past five days I checked Walmart stores in Atlanta (one store), Mobil (one store), and Houston (3 stores). All had very little ammo.

You have to find out when they restock and hit them then. In the DFW area 380 is like hens teeth. My local Academy got 9 boxes and it was gone in 10 minutes.
