Demand for many types of ammunition is far outstripping manufacturers' ability to keep up, according to two West Virginia gun shop owners.
So far in 2009, Spring Hill Rod & Gun in South Charleston has sold more than 1,000 cases of ammunition - more than a typical year's worth, owner Dan Kessel said.
Bob Wojcieszak Spring Hill Rod & Gun employee Terry Finney shows the store's most popular rounds, .45 Auto, .40 S&W and 9mm. So far in 2009, the South Charleston shop has sold more than 1,000 cases of ammunition, more than a typical year's worth.

I’m really glad I laid in a large load of components over the last few years.
I wonder if the politicians really know what to make of this...
All things in due time, m'FRiend.
Its one of the main reasons they havent went after the guns harder already.They know its going to be a biggie.
The term "Behind every blade of grass....." comes to mind.
This sort of report has been repeated many times since Ogabe's election. Therefore, this is probably why Receptionist of State Hillary Rotten Clinton is propogandizing that 90% of Mexican drug dealers' arms are coming from America.
ping.
Sumter, S.C. Walmart has no large caliber handgun ammo, nor any 7.62 by 38, .308.
They do have .22 and 12 and 20 gauge shells.
They normally stock all.
They probably haven't a clue. However, I can't imagine there is one law enforcement agency in the nation who wants to go door to door in the event the politicians tell them, "It's now illegal. Go and get it."
Have buddy cop friends.They all love concealed carry and have told me ,if there is a home intruder , to make sure there is “only one account of events”otherwise its more paperwork when you have conflicting stories.
They all said they wont go out of their way to enforce any laws that confiscate from responsible citizens.
Living in a rural area, I know my neighbors are stocked as well.The citizens of my county are armed to the teeth.
I will keep on buying what I can find if the prices are not too high on large lots.
Ditto! I’m really glad I laid in a large load of components over the last few years of the klintoon administration.
The cops I know were pushing me HARD to “support the 2nd Amendment” by buying a gun and getting a concealed carry license. I don’t know about all cops, but the ones I know are *die-hard* conservatives.
Ditto. Same here.
One of my 60 year old friends gave his wife an AR-15 for Valentine's Day. She's already out on the range shooting it.
Yes indeed. I was in my more or less local Wal Mart a few days ago and drifted by sporting goods thinking I would pick up another "brick" of .22 ammo. Not to be. The guy working the counter told me they can't seem to get pistol ammo at all any more and the bricks of .22 usually sell out within a day or so. Gonna be a lot o' target practice or dead squirrels around these parts.
Even the mighty samcoglobal.com is running out of 7.62x39.
And, at the moment in Colorado, I have no idea where to find brass, powder or primers for said round.
I got lucky to find dies.

It seems that people are ramping up supplies and skills in an organic evolution.Its a curious phenomenon. It has the lefties VERY worried. We bide our time. The left will cross a line of no return, and that is when the final struggle for America will begin.
