Windermere Posted March 15, 2020 at 06:42 PM Share Posted March 15, 2020 at 06:42 PM I was curious and I called a few places. Shore galleries has 3 pistols left for sale Maxon shooters is all out of glocks and told me to call back next week. He said its a madhouse there. Bass pro in Gurnee ( which I called to ask about a fishing rod) said you can barely walk in the hunting area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaeghl Posted March 15, 2020 at 06:53 PM Share Posted March 15, 2020 at 06:53 PM I wondered about that. What does having a gun have to do with keeping a virus away? What is in everyone's minds about this? Am I missing something? Was there a new bulletin in the Journal of Medicine saying shooting off some .45s or 9mm knock out a fever? Are people buying guns because they think civilization will collapse with a cold? "Gotta protect my stash of Kleenix and Metamusil." Kind of late for that, son. thoughts?

soundguy Posted March 15, 2020 at 07:11 PM Share Posted March 15, 2020 at 07:11 PM I was at the Hoffman Cabela’s yesterday. It didn’t seem really busy to me but there was a waiting line at the gun counter. Folks seemed to be looking at handguns. A clerk in the menswear area said folks seemed to be buying guns and stocking up on ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangerdeepv Posted March 15, 2020 at 07:30 PM Share Posted March 15, 2020 at 07:30 PM No 5.56, 9mm to be found! There are a few 45 ACP and revolver calibers but none of the main stream around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euler Posted March 15, 2020 at 07:36 PM Share Posted March 15, 2020 at 07:36 PM We have to get ready for the zombie hordes. This is still Illinois, so all the gun and ammo sales have to be to people with FOIDs. I know there are people who have FOIDs and don't own firearms (or didn't previously), but how many of them decided to buy guns now? More to the point, how many people with FOIDs are buying guns for people without FOIDs? You know, to protect the children. From the zombies.

Mr. Fife Posted March 15, 2020 at 09:43 PM Share Posted March 15, 2020 at 09:43 PM No 5.56, 9mm to be found! There are a few 45 ACP and revolver calibers but none of the main stream around.

spanishjames Posted March 15, 2020 at 10:54 PM Share Posted March 15, 2020 at 10:54 PM Shoot Point Blank was sold out of all pump shotguns and Glock 19s on Saturday afternoon. Ammo shelves were almost bare, and there was a line of customers for gun purchases. Definitely busier than during Black Friday events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the bare shelves on the news? What you think would happen if people are hungry and desperate. It wouldn't take much for law and order to break down. Who would have thought it would come to this. For the same reason you bought a gun, to protect themselves and family and property. It's a wake up call for them, better late than never, and as courts have affirmed police have no duty to protect people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHJ Posted March 16, 2020 at 12:53 AM Share Posted March 16, 2020 at 12:53 AM Thanks Gov. Jaba the Hut, for causing more panic amongst the sheep. I saw a run on ammo at the Decatur Rural King and at the Walmart for food. Following the Usefal Idiots Playbook to the tee. I’m so glad to be out of this state in a month.

RS1 Posted March 16, 2020 at 03:58 AM Share Posted March 16, 2020 at 03:58 AM I was curious and I called a few places. Shore galleries has 3 pistols left for sale That seems crazy. I was in there in Friday. It was busier than usual but they still had well stocked shelves. Were you just asking about new or Glocks or something? Find it hard to believe people are panic buying used .454 casull revolvers or High-standards or a $1,600 Sig X-five. But hey, better that than a years supply of toilet paper I guess.

blck10th Posted March 16, 2020 at 04:15 PM Share Posted March 16, 2020 at 04:15 PM I work at shoot point in Hodgkins. As of Saturday all we had was 2 G26’s and the Gucci glocks. Ammo is pricier because of the tax and people were buying the bulk blazer with the taxes it is almost 300 for 1k. The place has been a zoo with people waiting to buy up anything and everything.

C0untZer0 Posted March 17, 2020 at 02:12 AM Share Posted March 17, 2020 at 02:12 AM Walmart has a lot of .22LR but all of the 9mm is sold out. That's OK though because after the Obama ammo scare, I stocked up on 9mm like crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
