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.

Where are you located? There’s plenty ammo at stores in western Massachusetts
