Sorry if it's already posted but I thought some of you guys might like to know.


I went to exchange something before work this morning and saw a line and noticed this posted on the front door! I guess this will curb the bulk ammo buyers/resellers.

Nope.

They'll just bring a wife, friend(s), brother(s), etc. It does say "per customer".

If anything, it could make the crowds bigger.

but I think its a good idea to keep customers happy with supply.

Just goes to show they care about their customers. Other retailers might just as well sell their entire stock of an item to a single buyer since they collect the same either way.

Ive been seeing the 40 rd 7.62 winchester value packs at walmart pretty frequently. Just no .22lr, 5.56/.223, or 9mm lately.

Probably that and the honor system.

I get depressed when I see the lack of personal accountability among some adults, but the kids I work with always give me hope.

Wow. On an average day at the range I usually blow through over 1000 rounds of 45. Having to buy ammo 1 box at a time doesn't work for me there.

If this is temporary though until things go back to normal, I can understand that though.

Well when I sight in a rifle I always buy two boxes of shells. So I have to make two trips to your store just so I can sight in a new rifle I just bought from you? confused2


One box is taking it a little far guys. My local gun store is limited to two and that is a little more reasonable. rifle

I appreciate what Academy is doing.

People who need a little ammo to go shoot can get it, the flippers are out of luck and aren't going to waste their time, and the hoarders will have to wait until this craze dies down to carry on hoarding.

I thought it was interesting that during this scare .380 has been available in a lot of places. During the last scare you couldn't find a box of .380 to save your life. Guess the hoarders and flippers still have stock from then.

I wish more places would do it.

Those calibers are kept behind the counter and handed out.
