I think more than anything it's the fear of a ban or a prohibitive tax that's making people snatch up the ammo. That and many Walmarts have simply decided not to carry ammo. Not sure why (political, slim margin, liability?) but the upshot is that a major distributor goes away when Wally World stops carrying ammo.
3 weeks ago I was at a good size gun show in Lakelands, FL hoping to bit the Wal-Mart prices (I was told so). I saw a case of 9mm 1000 rounds for $235. So on my way back to CT, I decided to stop at 3 WMTs in FL, one in GA, one in NC, and another in VA. Guess what I saw, same empty shelves. Only in NC I found some target .40s.
Aside from your experience in Florida, does anybody have any experience with this taking place on a larger scale outside of CT?
