Anyone find it interesting (maybe even machiavellian) that enthusiasts themselves have more effectively undermined shooting (particularly handgun sporting and reloading) than any legislation I can remember? Hope none of the anti- folks are taking notes.

Any time the anti's want to deplete the ammo supply by buying me (an enthusiast) a nice stockpile, I'll be glad to take them up on their offer and give them a few more names as well. I figure the member list for this fine forum would make a good start.

Ahh the magic is they don't have to do much, or spend anything, other than create a scare and we self-immolate a sport. Ooooooooo.

I did find that Academy in Grapevine had some 380 this morning. But not for me.

The new Wally World in Garland off of Northwest Hwy. has about 20 boxes of Winchester 9MM, 2 100 round boxes of 9, 5 100 round boxes of .40, and a lot of Federal 100 boxes of .223. I didn't get me two boxes because they were taking their time selling a bunch of fishing lures and a fishing license. I had to get on my way to work. This was around 12:45 this afternoon.

You can call it undermining if you want..

But This year alone has already surpassed last year's CHL application numbers.
NRA Membership is up, people who never owned guns before in their lives are buying them and educating themselves.

Personally, this 'scare' has done nothing but good things for gun ownership as a whole, and bad things for those who oppose it.
It's even been good for the economy! The Gun business has been BOOMING in a time of Huge recession.

Well, okay, the ammo shortage sucks, and the prices are still high, but supply and demand dictates here. As the supply gets larger as manufacturers catch up, prices will go back down.. hopefully

That's for Blaser Brass .45ACP FMJ. Looks like the shortage may be lifting.... but to get this back in stock took longer than my CHL!

It's already gone :(
The only thing left is the aluminum cased stuff.

Academy in SE Houston and Silver Lake area has Monarch .223 for 5.99 per (20rd) box and Monarch .223 brass for 9.99 (20rd).

Picked up WWB 9mm 100pk for 19.97 today at Walmart Westheimer and Dunvale. They only had two boxes left after I made my selection. Didn't have much of anything else.

T's Gun and Ammo has all manner of shells (except 380....but he says he is getting some in on Wednesday(Hallow points too))

It is a fairly new business and is located at...in fact it is so new they haven't got their guns in yet (Due Thursday 7/16)

1829 Loop 197 North
Texas City TX

Open 12-7 Tuesday thru Friday

They had 250 round boxes of 9mm for around $60.

I paid $20 for 42 rounds of .40 S&W today, but I was just trying to make things a little easier for the kid that showed up for our CHL class with the wrong caliber ammunition for his pistol.

He was able to borrow/buy a box of .45 from another classmate, but given that he had no cash and was an hour round trip from an ATM, I decided to horse trade and try to make things a little easier for everyone.

They only had 2 100-packs of 55gr FMJ .223 ($39 ea), so I snagged them both. Well, they had 3 boxes, but an older gent in front of me was on the phone to his son and I'm going "Nooo, the kid is going to tell dad to snatch all 3" - but he only took the one
