Makes sense. I have removed all the bourbon from the shelf until after the election. I'll replace it then...if any is left. Don't count on it. Steady nerves don't come easily.
It was on the NEWS tonight said to deter and prevent looters from creating more problems.
What's wrong with armed guards to shoot ANY LOOTERS. That would take 2 to 5 dead thieves and looting would end.
It was reported Wal-Mart pulled all guns and ammo in fear of looting after the election. Probably a good idea given the lack of response to the looting. I guess I'm just old but I always thought we shot looters. But what did I know?

Stopped in to one of the Wal-Mart stores in my area out of curiosity this morning. Gun cabinets still are empty but there was some target ammo back on the shelves. Not a big supply there. 4-5 flats worth mostly of the estate super sports. 4 packs at $22.17 and individual boxes at $5.75 or so.
From what I read on other forums and from checking the on-line dealers I buy from, it seem ammo is getting scare. One big regional gun shop has a little bit still in stock, but it is limiting buyers to one flat.
I read here that many are still finding ammo at Walmart. Am I the only one that has nearby Walmarts that carry little shotgun ammo....ever?
I have two Walmarts fairly close to me. Neither have ever carried much ammo. Odd, both are in areas that were once in the center of great pheasant hunting. One is still in a rural area, the other in a rural moving toward becoming a bed-room community.
I once found a couple of 4-packs at one and asked about those. The lad at the gun desk said those were left-overs of a pallet they had for dove season. He suggested they got such a pallet every year for dove season. I've checked a couple years since, both during and just before dove season, and never found much "dove ammo", certainly never a pallet.
So again, am I the only one that has nearby Walmarts that carry little shotgun ammo?
I picked up 6 4 packs of Federal ammo last weekend at my local Walmart 1 1/8 ounce #8 and #7 1/2. They seem to have it from time to time but not very much of it when they do. This time last year they would have the shelves packed with shells.

As the old joke goes, replace the big screen TVs and vodka with work boots and Father's Day cards. That'll stop the looting. :lol:
This ammo shortage has been building since summer. In middle and late summer it was mostly 5.56, rimfire ammo and centerfire pistol cartridges. Now there are bare shelves that were full of sporting shotshells a couple months ago. My local Scheels still has hunting shotgun shells.
The nearby Walmart seems to get a couple flats of Super Targets and Estates every few days. I've picked up enough to last my family a year at least. By then I reckon the political dust will have settled. Especially if Georgia goes the right way in January.
Since I reload I don't bother looking for deals on factory shells. The time it takes to find what I want and drive to get it makes reloading a much better option for me.
I have enough supplies on hand to keep me going for the next 3 ~ 4 years.
If one wanted a three year supply of ammo, one could keep three years of factory ammo easier than keeping three years supply of powder and shot and wads and primers.
