    There was a story on NPR about it today. Part of the reason is that we're sending a lot of ammo to the sand box. The other reason is people are afraid that Obama's going to ban or tax guns and/or ammo, so they're stockpiling.

    Still not hard to find ammo of any kind here

    And this story is a prime example on why I'll have a Taurus Judge in my Glove box, a 1911 in the night stand and an AK under the bed...

    HA!

    Really though.

    And this is why there's at least one in every room, and each vehicle....garage and bathrooms included.No problem with ammo here yet...but we've plenty stocked anyhow . I got over my hippy crap years ago.....and have been forced to admit, the vast majority of mankind, is quite disposable, and is in fact, a form of varmint

    Do you guys keep your guns in your VX all the time, or any vehicle for that matter? I just dont feel right doing that. What if someone stole your ride?

    You should come and get one HA!

    I don't generally keep one in my vehicles... Too scary if a break in happened and they got your gun. But I, depending where I'm going, keep one with me. So when I'm in the car, it'll be there too...

    On another note, If anyone is interested in buying a Springfield 1911 from me, with about 300 rounds through it, let me know I'm probably going to get a more compact .380

    OK Richie, Chopper, what is the local going price for 1000 rounds of 7.62x39 in your area?

    Clint, we tried to stop by the show this weekend, and I saw guys hauling out PALETS of ammo. The line was soooo long and we had other stuff to do so we split. A guy I work with said he saw some guys FIGHTING over a place in line to buy ammo. I'm glad we didn't go in.

    Bart

    PS - BTW Sorry about missing dinner at the Tide, been super busy lately and had some homies from Chicago in town last weekend.

    Your homies dont like to eat? Or do you not want to mix homies?

    Actually, my friend Ryan was coming in on a separate flight that got delayed and right when Beau called we were waiting for his call to go pick him up...plus we had other plans for dinner lined up already.

    Haha! Yep, come to Utah where ammo is cheap and Guns are plentiful. We also have one of the lowest crime rates in the country.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    Link didn't work for me

    Well up here in AK we seem to not have any .223 or 7.62X39 but 9mm is plentiful. How much for 1000 rounds of .223 in Utah, and is it legal to ship? None of the magazine/internet gun stores ship up here

    I just bought a 100 round drum for my mini-14 as soon as Obama was elected and I haven't even gotten to try it out yet. 10 seconds of hell fire, Oh-Yeah!

    RENO IS BONE DRY. I can't find ammo anywhere and it sucks, especially considering what ppl are paying for it nowadays. Ridiculous. As happy as I am that bumbling idiot (George Bush) is out of office and I am not looking forward to any new anti-gun legislation.
