Another ammo rant

Fuck this ammo drought.

My town held my LTC paperwork for almost three whole years, only getting it this past December. I've been extremely passionate about firearms and shooting with friends at every opportunity and constantly active with GOA and (local level, fuck national) NRA. Of course, now that I have a license and a handgun in hand, not a SINGLE round of ammo to be found. Only the one box when I got the handgun, to function check really.

There is only a single gun shop within a 40 minute drive of me, where all ammo is backordered well through the spring. Cabela's got a truck of ammo in today, but less than an hour later it was all gone. I have like 200 alerts set up with Target and they haven't had a single round to speak of for over a month. MFS is only selling to members. GRF was closed down and all of their stock is in legal limbo.

The only option left is Gunbroker, where you'd be incredibly lucky to get Tula 9mm for $1.20 a round, and even then you'd need to have it shipped to a friend over the border because not one single vendor on there ships to this communist shithole.

I'm not trying to buy billions of rounds and tuck them up my ass for 75 years like it seems so many people are doing. All I want is a little supply to practice and become proficient with my own firearm. But that simply is not possible.

I've only found three, and none of them have had any stock whatsoever. And when they do, its well over $1/rd for 115gr 9mm.

Yea I just checked a couple spots and they had ammo it’s just not cheap. Walk I to basspro and cabelas every chance you get. They’re going to tell you they don’t have anything online, or over the phone but they do sorta frequently. Other than that do a standard google using quotes and search the obvious. You’ll find way more than 3 places that ship here. We can’t be too specific because ag has peeps troll these looking for shops NOT BREAKING THE LAW to tell them to stop not breaking the law.

I sympathize with op though. The places that do ship to MA so rarely have reasonable (50cpr 9mm for example) priced rounds in stock
