Last week at Academy, I got three 375-count boxes of CCI .22LR MiniMag off the rack as they were filling the shelves. [I left three boxes for others.] This week, I checked Academy several times.

No 9mm, .45ACP, or .22LR on the shelf. A new sign appeared that this ammo is stored behind the counter and a customer is allowed to purchase up to three boxes per visit. However, there was actually no ammo available behind the counter. I heard the clerk tell one really anxious customer, "We are getting a shipment in tonight, so be in line first thing in the morning and you may be able to get your three boxes." This is insane. I am glad that I built up my reserves last summer.

The gun cases had about 25% of what they normally carry. A few Glock, Taurus, and Smith & Wesson pistols. No evil, black rifles in sight.

I feel sorry for some of the new gun owners who can't find any ammo for their new gun. One of our local gun dealers has some ammo stored back, so if you purchase a new gun, you can at least buy three boxes of ammo with your new gun purchase. And to his credit, he has not raised the price on either guns or ammo during this debacle.
