Gun and ammo sale are up, or trying to be.

[CoureurDeBois]

So from what I'm hearing and reading, gun and ammo sales are up. Problem is PICS is down, has been for a couple of days. Can you say back door government gun control.

Getting a chuckle out of news stories that people in places like CA and NY are getting upset over delays in gun purchase approvals and other red tape, that they have to navigate in such places.

No down side to the sheeple finding out the facts and having to face what they had formerly thought were "great ideas" in the states they live in, eh?

Don't need any more TP, canned food or ammo at our house. Never did. Lots of stories about fears of looting, people getting desperate, home invasions from the crazed, needy and hungry. Craziness abounds and the panic is real. Pointed out the other day, that "freedom to assemble" does not apply to my property, but "no trespassing" still does.



Dealing with cancellations at our club and other related things right now and am damn near out of patience with people.

If this goes as it seems to be going, things will get a bit squirrely before it gets better. Next two weeks will tell the tale. Thanks to the previous administration most who were prudent have what they need.

Local gun dealer on FB said they were rationing, then said they would sell only to those that have bought a gun

"and am damn near out of patience with people."


This is why social distancing is so important

Practicing the art of "social distancing" for much of my adult life.

Yep....rec'd below yesterday re an order I put in a week ago:


Target Sports USA Customer,

**Please expect 10-day shipping delay on all orders due to the increase demand.**

We are doing everything we can to ship your order as soon as possible including: implementing a second shift, hiring additional employees and offering overtime to our office staff to keep up with compliance requirements and any customer inquiries. Please note even with these changes, we also have a huge increase in customer email & phone call volume so please bear with us for any delays in response. You can check your order status online at www.TargetSportsUSA.com under My Account.

We are also working closely with all manufacturers to keep products in stock at competitive pricing. Unfortunately, we have been informed that all manufacturers are now shipping product at an increased cost, due to demand. We are doing everything we can to mitigate these costs for our customers while trying to keep as much inventory as we can in stock.

We are thankful for our Prime Members and customers for their patience and understanding during this time! We are doing everything we can to navigate during these difficult times.

Stay Safe!

Sincerely,

Target Sports USA Team

Mid South sent out a similar notice to their customers. Apparently those who couldn't find ammo during the past two "crisis" periods when it quickly disappeared from stores, learned nothing at all?

I'm not a hoarder, but I have never been out of ammo or components, either.

[redarrow]

I would bet that many of those buying up all ammo they can right now are still sitting on piles of the .22 ammo they hoarded the last time. Have any gun dealers started price gouging yet?

[Loggy]

I don't expect shortages nearly as bad as the last run when the gov was gonna confiscate all our guns/limit ammo availability. Reason being this one many Americans likely soon to be severely financially distressed leaving them a choice...Guns VS food to feed the family.

Just received shipping confirmation that my Target Sports USA ammo order has shipped!! Guess in today's current situation 15 days ain't all that bad!!
