They didn't have TP, but they did have 22lr. So, I picked up 1000 rnds. Turns out they don't stock 5.56 anymore so  I will hit Cabelas on the way home.
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

    Ok, so on my way home after that, I stopped at Cabelas to get some 5.56 and there WAS an actual run on that. No 7.62x39 to be had at all.

    Walmart no longer sells any 223/5.56 ammo due to policy change.  No handgun ammo either.  Only place to buy that ammo here locally is the farm supply store.  Almost all 223/5.56 ammo sold out.  9mm nearly gone as well.  7.62x39 was almost non existent before this, no longer common caliber locally.  There was a few small shops that sold ammo, but the recent change in state laws resulted in most of them closing.  So far, rimfire ammo is still in strong supply as is 40/45 and 38/357.  I doubt that will last very long based on the buying that is happening.  12ga buckshot shelf has about half of the amount that was there less than a week ago.

    Yep, I have to make a run to the big city tomorrow to get fitted for my new boat.  Will be adding to my ammo stockpile while there.  I try to buy a box or two of something every time I go.
