I went into the main gun shop in Burlington Vt last Thursday to see about stocking up on some small pistol primers and a couple boxes of buck shot. The counter guy said he was out of both. As for primers he said they come in by the palet of 30,000. When they come on they are gone by the end of that day. Buckshot just disappears the same way Though there’s plenty of bird shot.
I asked the guy if they were all getting ready for two legged hunting season And he smiled. when asked if the collegecrowd was still camped out across from the police station some other guy piped up. He said there were still some out there banging on their #$&# drum in the middle of the night. Ahhh life on a college town. Me thinks their enthusiasm is going to diminish greatly once winter sets in. Those sorts aren’t much in the outdoors department so that damp freezing wind is going to dampen their enthusiasm in short order. I normally hate winter. This year I expect that it will be welcomed at least by the city dwellers..
I have found that my local gun stores are not being kosher.
A local sporting store sold ALL the ammo it gets the day the truck gets there to their buddies OFF the truck, the ammo never makes it to the shelf.
If you visit local gun shows or online forums selling ammo, thousands and thousands of rounds are for sale at a pretty cool markup.
