Went to Cabelas in Hammond today

[Duron219]

The ammo shelves were almost completely empty. I went to buy some .30 Carbine and it was all gone so I decided to check on some other ammo and there was nothing. Are all stores like this or was it just this store?

 

[SRR]

Most stores are empty, and the ones that have ammo in stock run out as soon as they put on the shelves. Wallyworld has some tula but limit the purchase to three boxes.

 

[mikefraz]

That's a common occurrence basically everywhere.

 

[Duron219]

That's disappointing, I was planning on going to the range for my birthday but it looks like I might to make other plans.

 

[jy951]

Duron what kind of ammo you looking for besides 30 carbine?

 

[Duron219]

I was looking at .380, .38 special and .357 I considering getting a gun in one of those calibers and I'm comparing prices right now.

 

[CitiusFortius]

I was there Saturday morning, they had a ton of .45 and a decent amount of 9. Guess people grabbed 'em all up.

Last time I went to Blythes in Valpo they had a fair amount of ammo in all types. Slightly higher than normal, but it was available.

 

[Duron219]

I'm going to Blythes in Valpo in a few weeks and hopefuly they have some in stock over there.

I just got back from Nebraska and its the same everywhere. I stopped in two Bass Pro's and two Cabelas (St. Louis, Kansas City, and Omaha) and they were empty. On three of my stops I was there at opening, and as soon as the doors were unlocked, people were dang near running to the ammo. I kinda just laughed and thought about how crazy the whole thing is. I had to settle for a new Benchmade knife

There was an individual proned out in the entry/exit median Monday about 5:30 with two Hammon police cars.

While I was up wondering around in the Gun Library, one of the employees came up and asked me if I saw them outside.

Said the kid was loading a magazine with 45 ACP's there in the ammo aisle.

Apparently, they saw him, had video - called the cops and snagged him before he got off the property.

The employees were whooping it up a bit saying they needed to add a "theft limit" sign underneath their buying limit signs.

But they did give him credit for leaving the partial box on the shelf and not just stealing the whole thing.

Times are tough.

Wow that is pretty crazy but I'm not that surprised. You can tell when some of the boxes have been open and some of them feel a bit lighter than they should.

I go to Blythes Valpo many times a week to shoot and look for Ammo. Almost always have reloads from precision cartridge there and often some other blazer ammo especially in 9mm. I see 40 and 45 often as well in reloads but can't speak to other calibers because I am not looking for it except 22 LR. 22LR is elusive but Blythes sometimes has that as well but not often in bulk packs. 50 or 100 packs usually CCI and some other random brands. They do limit quantity so many can get some.

Went to Walmart tonight and the only thing on the shelf was for shotgun. The rest was gone.

We were there at the same time.

I haven't been to the Walmart by where I live so I do not know if they even have anything at all

 

[Mark 1911]

A friend of mine bought a box of 50 rounds of .30 carbine ammo at Westforth's in Cal Township last week for $27 and change. Pricey, but that's the norm everywhere right now.

 

[UNLOCKEM]

Was at Rural King and Dunhams and the shelves are empty except for shotgun

I have seen .357 and .38 special around, along with .40.......but not in the past week.

Can't fix stupid. While I would never condone stealing and put the highest regard on integrity, why did this person not take the ammo box into the bathroom???
