Is The Ammo Shortage Nearly Over?
Gary:
In south 27th street Walmart this evening, walking past the ammo display, I was surprised to see, everything, except .22LR.
They had so much .40 S&W they could not display all of it. I did not notice anything missing except .22LR.
I picked up a 250 pack of .40 S&W, so I can train for an up coming class. $92. They had the same value pack in 9mm for $20 less.
Nice to see ammo again. Would be nice to see the prices the way they were before we elected the unconstitutional president from Kenya.

Yes it is looking much better, BUT don't be deceived that due to someone raising a stink, all the stores in Lincoln were made aware of an old ordinance requiring ALL ammo be stored behind locks or inaccessible to the public. Thus Wal-Mart's have stuffed all their shot shells with the cartridge ammo!

yea, that ordinance is a joke. maybe the NFOA could testify at a local hearing about it and get Scheels or Walmart managers to explain how much a of a nuisance it is.... its hindering them from selling product, meaning lower sales and tax income, not to mention having to buy and maintain locking cabinets for all ammo.

I'm Game. But seriously, I don't think the powers that be in this town care about nuisance, or the selling of product, etc. The taxes thing MIGHT catch their attention. The main thing is the ordinance is simply outdated. IMHO

As NRA firearm instructors, and we have a few on this forum, do we teach people to keep ammo locked up when being stored? How is having a store with 20,000 people through it in one day, any safer than your home where only family, friends, and a statistical burglar once in a lifetime?
I ran a gun store many years, and I kept ammo behind glass without being told to by an ordnance, because it was a safe way to do business.
You walk around Wal-Mart twenty minutes and you will find a discarded package where someone stole an item, layed the package down, and walked out. I see this often times, maybe because I own a store, and I am aware of theft problems. Do we want people stealing ammo in Wal-Mart, or scheels, or anywhere?
Last evening a homeowner came home to a burglar in his home at 148th and Adams? ?? The thief was wearing the homeowners clothes.
Ammo needs to be locked up at home, and in stores. Just common sense. IMHO.
