Shortage Of Ammo - CORPORATION, Texas - As we approach nearly a year of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, things are not looking good for gun shops and gun owners. Ammunition shortages continue, putting business at risk in stores.
"We take three days for delivery," said Jeff Massengill, owner of American Arms. "Not all of them are completely safe, but sometimes a load is sold before the next one arrives.
Shortage Of Ammo
"Because the products are hard to find, if someone has trouble finding the web, if they see it on the shelf, they buy it," said Daniel Garcia, Shooter's general manager. "And they're likely to buy more than they need, more than they should, or more than they can afford if the retailer is limited."
Us Sees Ammunition Shortage Amid Record Firearms Purchases: Report
Both Sharp Shooter in Corpus Christi and American Arms in Beeville say they don't intend to stay in their homes much longer. Their thinking? The number of new gun owners has increased. Both said that with everything happening in 2020, many people feel the need to own guns.
"Everything from a grandfather wanting to shoot a .22 with his grandson to someone who has enough to protect a family, it all came together in this wave of demand," Massengill said. "And musicians can't keep up."
That's not the only issue, a representative of American Firearms, the manufacturer of the machine, said they have some problems at the end. There is a lack of other parts of making sense.
Therefore, when people grind down a barrel of ammunition, many cannot part with it easily.
Gun Shops Dealing With Ammo Shortage This Holiday Season
"If we have ammunition, they buy it, but most of the time people bring their own ammunition," said Garcia. "A lot of people don't want to post their web because it's hard to find and it's too expensive to have."
And some places like American Arms have decided to limit the number of boxes you can buy at certain stores.
And he won't say when this will end. Ironically, innovations for gun owners are good things for businesses. Both offer classes for new gun owners and are booked weeks and months in advance.

The photo was taken at a Walmart in Virginia, two weeks before deer gun season. Except for a few boxes of .300 Wm. Mag. (lots of whites with .300 Mag. around here, lol) not many whites.
Ammo Ammo On The Wall, This Gun Stock Is The Fairest Of Them All (nasdaq:poww)
There were 2 boxes each of 165-grain Winchester for .30-06, most of the rounds used by many Virginia hunters. I can avoid them, but I have a nice .30-06 at home.
The 2020 ammo shortage is real and widespread across America, in some areas worse than others, before the start of firearms deer season.
I asked fans on Twitter if ammo is scarce where they live and hunt. I learned that he has the necessary items:
Illinois, Oklahoma, Georgia, Texas, New York, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Delaware, Kentucky, Michigan, South Carolina, Alabama, Indiana, West Virginia Mississippi, Arkansas, Wisconsin…
Gun Shop Owners Still Feeling Prolonged Ammunition Shortage
Local gun shops report that on average they receive 20 to 30 cases of ammunition per week; now they are lucky to have 2 or 3. When those packages hit the shelves, they go fast.
The first shortages in early summer were popular loads like 9mm, 45, 6.5 and 22 LR. Now he is busy hunting deer.
On Fox News, Kayton Smith, owner of Pooler Guns in Georgia, said, “Throughout May and June, everybody bought ammunition that was made…
One store owner said some shoppers can get their hands on any popular merchandise, even if it's not gun-related. They think 'I'll buy it while I can, and I'll buy a gun to match it down the road.'

And the kicker: Manufacturers are now reporting shortages of raw materials for weaving. This may not be a temporary problem.
What about these things? Well, here in deer hunting season, I hope you have a box or 2 or more of .270, .308, or whatever in your safe house. You will probably find that most people hunt with one gun or another and keep a box or two of ammunition on hand.
But, if you've been procrastinating and need some ammo time, look everywhere now. If you find it, buy it immediately.
Be aware that you may find that you are not using your brain. For example, you've been shooting a 140-grain Remington Core-Lokt in your .270, but now all you can get is a 130-grain Winton. That load will throw your guns a little differently, so make sure there's no recoil before opening day.
