Here in Rockford, IL I have been calling my local MC Sports and Walmart every day asking about ammo shipments coming in. Every day I am asked what calibers I am looking for, and when I state 22LR, 380, 38 Special, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP" I get the same answer, that nothing has come in. I don't even hear that some came in but sold out. So the problem may be easing in some parts of the country, but it is not easing here. I still have a moderate stock of the above calibers, but it I can't buy some soon I might stop going to the range for awhile.
