Walmart ammo availability

[blujax01]

Well Eric Eric, some of us choose not to let the current situation get in the way. Where ammo is available some of us don't mind waiting in line for it. We find it much better putting in the work and pulling the trigger instead of complaining about it and blaming others.

Even folks who had a stash need to replinish it. Unless we are to simply Shoot it all up and spend the rest of our days ranting in some long forgotten corner of the Internet? Uh, no thanks. It's out there. It's for sale to everyone.

It's funny - those of us who act are called names by those who say to do nothing. After all, some magic is going to happen and this will all have been a bad dream.

Eric, I buy everything I can that is reasonably priced. In fact I bought stuff I can't even shoot last week. I've got a few hundred rounds upstairs I can't shoot. You know why? One of my friends who doesn't get around all that well can shoot it and at some point in the near future he'll re-pay me (and if he can't or doesn't, that's OK too). I also don't go out of my way or wait in lines. It's out there and has been, it just doesn't jump into the shopping cart. I take the responsibility to look for it instead of complain, whine, or blame.

I fully expect things to get worse over the next few years with threats of taxes (ala cigarette sin taxes), background checks, ... If it's there and at a reasonable price (by current standards), I buy it. So do my friends. As far as we're concerned, we're investing. I run my finances the same way.

I regularly see the people who do neither FOR either constantly complaining, looking to blame someone for their lack of planning. I also see them asking for handouts when they're caught later in life having never planned by saving. I often see these people with "common sense solutions" to be the FIRST to always go personal and call people names and/or label activities with "hateful terms".

You sir are part of the problem with the inflated ammo price's. Being prepared would have been buying ammo last year when the price's were good. Buy buying a lot of ammo now like everyone else is, is just letting all the distributers know they can continue to charge ridiculous price's since people are willing buy still and wait in line for it for hours. Also, I do not know why you keep mentioning the part that another member referred to you as standing in line like cattle. You kind of have to expect a comment like that when you brag about standing in line for 7 hours just to buy 2 boxes of ammo. This is a internet forum, do not take things to heart. This is a great sight with tons of great members and everyone has the right to their own opinion.

I wish all them people would stop buying gas so I can get it for a dollar. Really wish the fed would stop printing all that phony money spending it on cronies giving to other countries that hate us buying guns for Mexican drug lordes to kill our boarder agents to prove their lies about our gun rights driving our dollar into the dirt causing things like brass and lead to cost more while getting short sighted gun enthusiast to pick on each other through the Internet they control and monitor with outrageous sums of our wealth instead of noticing that they are driving the bus straight to hell.

A few weeks ago, I was standing at the sporting goods counter in one of the local walmarts just eyeing the guns killing time while my wife was doing some school supply shopping for our son when I began hearing voices behind me. Turned around and two guys were standing there talking about 22lr ammo and how many they had scored at the various local walmarts so I decided to stay right there. It was 0630 and a sign was clearly posted that no ammo would be sold before 0730 and a three box limit. I kid you not, before long, more people were there and a small line was forming and here I was at the front of it when a store employee walks by pushing a buggy with ammo in it. The initial two behind me started mumbling about how they would share with those behind them if they were at the front of the line blah blah blah so the lady asks me, can I help you? To which I replied I'd like some 22lr ammo and her response was I only have two 1000 rd boxes of M-22 and of course I said "I'll take them". Call me selfish but I just wasn't in the sharing mood particularly with individuals making their rounds to buy up all they can to resell at the local flea markets. Did I mention that I love my wife?

Best.

Sentence.

Ever.

But, you are right. As hard as some of us fight for our point of view, others here will fight just as hard for theirs. Rarely is there any understanding. Hell, we barely tolerate each other.

I've got broad shoulders. In the future when name-calling and innuendo occurs, I will try to remember that if I respond in kind, all I am succeeding in getting done is to feed the fire.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Thanks, I thought is was humorous as a run on. I was gonna end with "pant pant pant" . You never know how someone else will take what you write. Thanks for getting it.

First, after working in Moberly Missouri prison and Jackson County Mo. Jail for 25 years, kinda used to being called names. The key is NEVER return in like kind. Just consider the intellect of the name caller.

Second, caption to the attached photo should be 'MOO MOO.'

I just left my local W/M at 19:15 and did NOT buy any 9MM that they had on the shelf! They had more than 40 boxes of Federal 115G 50 count boxes for $14.37 and I left them all there, employee said its been there all day and he had more in back. Still had sign 3 box limit.

 

[smokindog]

Hope that's a typo because it's about $3 more than last week. I fear not

I'm guessing "most of you" are retired or unemployed and have nothing better to do but stand in line in the middle of the night or while we are at work...

It went up last week. The 100 round boxes went up slightly too.

 

[smokindog]

The only correct thing you said is "I'm guessing".


I've been to Walmart stores at most hours of the day, rarely as a special trip for ammo, and NEVER stood in line. I've often seen empty shelves but have never had to pay secondary market prices as product has shown up often enough. It's worth it to me to put forth a little effort. It's the same attitude I take to my job but I see a similar amount of whining there, just different topics. "I'm guessing" it's the same "gimme" generation in both circumstances doing the whining.

Bingo!!! I agree.

What's wrong with being retired and having nothing better to do? I go to Walmart about an hour before it opens and have found enough 22 ammo to keep myself and three other family members shooting their guns. I am up at 5 am everyday anyway. There are a lot of worse ways to spend your time, ever see the clowns making fools of themselves on Black Friday.

 

[smokindog]

I'm an early riser as well!!!!! Not quite to retirement. I'll have 4-5 hours work done before the "gimme" generation even begins to arrive at the office. Looking forward to the day I don't have to put up with all the whining


I think I'll run down to Walmart after this cup of coffee!

The black friday people do it once a year, the ammo gougers to it every day. So yes, I see a difference.

Nothing wrong with being retired. Just leave some ammo for us working stiffs...

I'm retired and I leave all the ammo at Walmart. The last time I was in one was 1983 and I bought a toy train for my son. My LGS and range have plenty of ammo that I look at as I walk by. The secret is R E L O A D I N G. I can't remember the last time I bought store bought ammo. I shoot 5 times a week (I don't play golf so I had to find something to occupy my time). After I shoot I spend an hour at the reloading bench replenishing what I shot that day. The only ammo I buy is .22 but I stocked up before the current shortage and haven't bought any for a long time. So I'm one retired guy who's not depleting the supply at Walmart.
