Same story out West. Here in Oregon, the rush began Mar 13 due to the virus. It got much worse when the rioters and anarchists got going. Liberal Portland has had 78 days in a row of riots. You would expect that since Portland is 88% Democrat. The feds arrived to protect federal buildings and the leftist politicians declared that as causitive of worse riots. They were replaced by state police who then abandoned the scene as the local district attorney released all the rioters with no charges. The state police were not going to stay and get killed or maimed by someone who would never do jail time.
Back to ammo & guns. We cannot order guns as the suppliers are generally out and are supplied by manufacturers by inadequate amounts. We cannot keep defensive guns in stock. Pump shotguns are hens teeth. AR's & AK's are rare. 223/556ammo is difficult to find, 308, Russian calibers all very hard to come by. Handgun ammo is difficult. We got in a shipment of 9mm after a 5 week wait. We got 2000 rounds Wednesday and it was gone in a day. We got another 1000 rounds in Friday and it is about half gone and we are a small shop with few customers. We are mainly collectable firearms. Lots of phone calls searching for guns and ammo.
This, too, shall pass, but likely not until after the election and a vaccination available. Good luck finding what you need. Don't wait too long to find hunting ammo.
