because Phoenix has no guns and very little ammo. People standing in line for 30 minutes to buy 1 box of 9mm. We started off this morning with a bit over 2000 rounds of 9mm. It was gone a little while ago with a limit of 2 boxes per person. Most of our 45ACP, probably 1500 rounds, is gone and a good dent in the 10mm ammo. When we opened the doors this morning people were already here waiting. The first 2 ladies in the door both wanted an AR-15, and we are out.
I have only been over here at the machine shop maybe 10 minutes all day, the rest of the time waiting on folks over at the gun shop. People ask if we have a certain gun, I tell them yes, they immediately say I'll take it. No asking what the price is or can I see it or anything, just a quick I'll take it. Just absolute nuts and the rimfire ammo is beginning to go too. I think that will be next. I talked to one of our distributors earlier today and they are out. These people aren't buying to stock up, they are serious and aren't shy about telling us it is to keep the assholes away.

I spoke to a very nice lady today in my LGS...

She had driven an hour to find 9mm ammo. The shop is so low they are only selling it with a gun purchase. She said she already had a SIG 9mm. She turned and asked me which 9mm I'd buy if I needed another. I pointed to one in the show case. She simply said she'd take it with a box of ammo.

That's some expensive ammo!

@ High Noon Guns. The owner had talked to 6 different Distributor's that morning, forecast was grim, no 9mm, 223/5.56, .380, 300BLK, 10mm will be available anytime soon,
3 to 6 months, maybe... Last week they had cases for sale on skids.

Very few come to shoot at the indoor range for lack of ammo.

50 rd. box of 9mm that went for $11.95 in May is now over $20 w/tax. One salesman stopped by and said the same Blazer Brass 115gr. 9mm range ammo could go for $35-$40/box of 50 by the Fall. Production is nearly at a standstill.

Gary. People are BLM crap.

I have fat fingers when I type so to speak.

People are scared of what they see in the news. I do believe they see themselves as that couple in St. Louis surrounded by hundreds of rioters.

The only reason those two are alive is because they were armed and at least one had a good AR style rifle.
