They seem to have a hard time keeping Ammo in stock here. The ammo showcase is usually more than half empty, and they always have a "2 box limit" on Ammo purchases. [/quote]


I talked to a friend of mine who is a manager at Gander Mountain, a regional big box sporting goods retailer like Bass Pro Shops. He told me that guns and ammo (especially ammo) sales skyrocketed right around the Nov 2008 election, and have continued very strong ever since.
