This weekend I ventured to my local large gun store for the first time in several months (I got tired of going there just to look at dusty shelves). Well, I about broke down in sheer joy to see that the AR-15 section was completely stocked as was the "high capacity" magazines shelf. Ammo was still hard to find, but 2 out of 3 is a great start.
I walked out with a pmag and a maglink... not b/c I needed them, just b/c I could!
Hopefully things are improving.
Happy Shooting!
