Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
LGS trip this morning
LGS trip this morning
Don't know how it is anywhere else, but Gary's Pawn & Gun in Columbus is rationing ammo. Probably at the West Point store also. 9mm in particular is limited to 100rds/customer, 5.56/.223 is 500. Didn't look like they'd raised prices anything tho. Stopped in this morning to get some 9mm and a couple other things. Didn't see any noticeable difference in their gun inventory on display, including a couple Henry's, which I fondled. Yeah, customers can do that at Gary's without staff assisting them, except for handguns. Ammo, powder, etc. is also stacked on the shelves like cans of soup.
Business is pretty good from what the staff told me, but not overwhelming them. Not a lot of people in there, about the same as any other Sat morn. A couple of the regulars, but no wild eyed first timers. I've seen a whole lot more folks in the shop when they have one of their sales days or during our annual 2A tax holiday in the Fall.
I was in and out in 10 minutes.

You have been warned about fondling Henry's and what the consequences can be!

This is so true. I fondled one at the gun show a while back & later one found it's way into my paws.

I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Re: LGS trip this morning
No 9mm to be found around here. While picking up my new revolver several folks came in looking for 9mm but the owner replied that what he had was for customer range use only.
At the other larger gun shop in town I heard folks were lined up outside waiting to get in since only 10 customers allowed in at one time.
Most ammo stock running low. Great time to be a reloader!

I learned from the 22LR and primer shortage a few years back. I told myself never again. No primer, 22LR ammo, or 9mm shortage at my house.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: LGS trip this morning
Other than target shooting, what, realistically, do we need all this ammo for?
My small stash keeps me feeling very comfortable.

Re: LGS trip this morning
Depends on how much you want to shoot, and then the ability to that again next week and the next.
Or lord forbid we actual have to defend ourselves, short or long term.

Re: LGS trip this morning
Agree with Randy. I want to be able to shoot my 22 or 9mm without worrying if I can get ammo again for an extended period of time. Last time the 22 shortage came about it lasted for quite sometime. I want enough I can outlast one of those lengthy shortages.

Simply put, skill maintenance. I don't shoot nearly as much as many others, but I do shoot enough to maintain what I consider to be a comfortable skill level for me. Not much different than a musician, dancer, ball player or anyone else maintaining/improving their skills.markiver54 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 10:57 pmOther than target shooting, what, realistically, do we need all this ammo for?
