    News Flash!!! No more 22LR

    My brother just called me from a Walmart in the mountains of NC.

    He asked the nice lady at sporting goods if they had any 22LR.

    Lady: "No."

    Brother:"Do you know when you will be getting more in?"

    Lady:"Never. They are shutting down all the 22 ammunition plants."

    Brother:"Really?"

    Lady:"Yes, and you know when they start making them again they will be using gunpowder that won't last long."

    Brother:"I didn't know that."

    You heard it here first. (Pretend that this post is written in the stupidity font).

    The lady at my WM said they were out, but there will be some on the truck tonight. She said there was some last night and a "couple of guys" just before me bought what came in. But there is some coming in every night and that I should check back each day.
    I hate those "couple of guys"!!!! They beat me to the LGS and get the powder too!!

    No manufacutrer would ever produce a round with gunpowder that expires. The liability would be enourmous.

    Calm down.

    I just relayed this because it was so amazingly ignorant. I didn't mean to scare anyone.

    I hear this over and over. There are 4,170 Wal-Marts in the U.S., that means that 8,240 guys are buying up all of the .22 ammo that Wal-Mart gets. GIVE ME A BREAK!

    Even if that "couple" was 3 times a "couple" that still only 24,720 guys. Not even the population of a medium town.

    Wal-Mart must be at the bottom of the list as far as supply goes, which I seriously doubt.

    After they took down the sign saying that you can only buy 3 boxes at my local Walmart, they had some 762x39 on the shelf. I told the lady that I wanted some of it. She said how many? I said 4 since that was all they had. Her reply was, "I can only sell you three, I don't want to go to jail! ". I said excuse me, why would you go to jail? "Well it's a felony to sell more than three boxes of ammunition to one person". I proceeded to explain to her that there was no such law and that it was an individual store policy to sell only three boxes of ammo. The store 17 miles away, that also sells firearms including ar's will sell you 10 boxes. The guy working there said that they get more ammo than any store in the area because they sell more. She did not believe me, so i had her call them. When she told them that what they were doing was illegal, all I heard was laughing coming from the phone. I haven't seen that lady working the sporting goods counter since.
    To much work, not enough time for guns.
