I don't think it will.


It appears the left has taken full advantage of the situation to incite and sustain panic, without doing everything to effectively slow the virus' spread.
They only have to keep it rolling until November.

Trump's fault. He did not get tested and infected 235 million Americans personally, then after the fact he did get tested and utilized one of the precious tests that should have gone to a low income individual rather than his rich self. He should have over reacted sooner.

I work at the Woodbury Cabelas.

As of yesterday we still had some .45 230gr FMJ.

Couple of things at play for us. We just had our Second Amendment sale. Our shipments have been slower. Our truck we usually get on Sundays was postponed.

If I had a nickel for everyone who asked about 9mm or bulk .223/5.56 I would have a lot of nickels.

I had to explain to a few people that the bullets for reloading were not what they needed.

Missed sales opportunity there ;) Could have sold them a starter press kit, bullets, cases, powder, primers, and reloading manuals!

Nope, if they are dumb enough to think 100 rounds of cartridges will fit in a 100 count bullet box...they be too stoopid to try loading. I had a moron looking for "bullets" for 303 british, I showed him a 100 count box of .312 dia. Hornady's, he got this puzzled look on his face and asked "how can they fit so many in such a small box?". We went round and round trying to explain it...finally I had to cut the box open to show him the "bullets"...he told me in a huff, "those aren't 303 British bullets, there not even close to the right size! 303's are as long as your finger". the light bulb never flickered in that one

This is why I don't think I could work a retail job, any more. When I had my computer company in GA, I actually gave a lady a refund, and took her computer back. I told her to buy a Dell and be sure to get the extended warranty, because she was too stupid to have a computer.

I talked to a couple of guys about that. No 9mm ammo? We have a solution for you. I showed them the kits, bullets, powder, cases, primers, and manuals.

I also mentioned that it might be a good time to buy a new firearm in a chambering that we do have ammo stock for.

Upon further investigation it’s been determined to be a short lived Dilemma. My apologies.
