Panic Buying Over Yet?

[Pscipio03]

C2 Scottsdale shooting stalls are booked up (for members) for 4 or 5 days.
Buddy of mine owns Cajun Concealed in Louisiana and was talking with him the other day. The panic buy settled down, but now is coming back with a furor. Everything he had shipped in is gone again.
Ammo WAS coming back into stock, but is now disappearing again.
Just glad I have what I want and roll my own ammo.

IMO with covid 19 continuing and Trump behind in some polls I believe the panic buying will continue. Especially if a 2nd wave of covid 19 happens and the polls don't turn in Trump's favor.

what we have been seeing will be the norm indefinitely.

some of this might have been deliberately constructed, but one thing after another keeps renewing the "panic" and I can see this continuing, one "crisis" after another, long into the future.

buy and stock up now, I doubt it is going to get any better any time soon, if at all.

My local shop in Tucson gets inventory in regularly. I was able to buy a Taurus G2C stainless slide for $219 so they are not gouging compared to the black slide used ones I see on Armslist for over $300.

Went to Bass Pro this afternoon to return some defective hiking poles. While there, I checked out the gun department. Zero handgun ammo on the shelves, except for .17 and a couple boxes of .480 Ruger and .454 Casull.

Quite a few guns on the shelves, but no ARs, and shotguns were much depleted. A line of people waiting to get to the counter to buy something. Looked to me like mostly young couples.

Trump was behind in the polls 90 to 10 in some cases to haggery most of the way through election night.

I think it is going to take a while for everything to settle down again.

I sure hope not.

I have been waiting for it to calm down. Just looking at some of the lines at the stores makes me turn around and go home.

between covid 19 the riots and the election, don't expect anything to get better anytime soon.

Dems are pulling out all the stops to win this election, pretty stupid how they are going about it, but non the less

I’m honestly just waiting for the next manufactured crisis. They’re going to have to keep the pressure on through November.

Guns Plus in surprise today, pretty much wiped out of everything, uge line out the door.

I think it might be panic related to pandemic and riot. Cabelas was picked clean of just about any rifle, handgun or 00 buck 12 gauge ammo. Also noticed that just about every Semi auto rifle is gone. I was on the JG Sales website and they have nothing but Fudd shotguns and very few semi auto rifles in stock. Lots of handguns and ammo however are listed. Also Glock parts on ebay shot up in price.

My close to home Ace Hardware usually has a good selection of ammo and reloading stuff. Most of the popular stuff is long gone. When the shelves get restocked, it's usually gone in a day or 2. Can't seem to find CFE223 anywhere but Ace still has H335. Works for me as I prefer H335.

Sportsmans in north Phoenix had a line of 20+ when I was there. Only one douche wearing a mask that I saw.

Hi why is it wrong to wear a mask?

Panic buying will likely pick up amid cities now trying to defund the police. 911 what's your emergency? Sorry nobody is coming to help you.....you are responsible for protecting yourself.

Within the past few days..
Big Pawn 1st at 19th and Bell: Cleaned OUT of handguns w/just 4-5 fudd rifles on the wall.
Gun shop at SR51 and Shea: ONE Ruger American left, but couple dozen longarms
Bear Arms: Barely a selection in anything 9, 40, or 45. ..but couple dozen wheelguns left

Sportsman's on yorkshire had a dozen in line to look at the guns, reloading stuff was hit or miss, didn't look for ammo.
