So I haven't been into guns long enough to remember the 2008 ammo shortage but I was just curious, was it really as bad as what I've been reading? Walking into a gun store or shooting range and not being able to find my caliber of ammo just seems insane.. But lately I've heard that at one point it got so bad this was actually happening. After seeing people walking out with boxes stacked on boxes of ammo at local gun shops and at the gun shows, and dealers saying they are running out of ammo freaks me out. Will it actually get to the point that it will be impossible to find 9mm and 40 cal ammo? I really don't want to get into a buying frenzy just to get suckered into the hype but at the same point I don't want to pay 30 bucks of 9mm ammo, or even worse not be able to locate any to purchase...
