Yep. It's just Colorado.

This is something of a repost. I posted a similar thread a year or so ago. I just couldn't find it.

Anyhow, last time I was in the Sportsmans Warehouse off 84th they were really picked over and hardly had any ammo or reloading stuff. It's pretty much looked like that for years now.

So today I went to the Sportsmans Warehouse in Casper, Wyoming.

It looks nothing like the one up near my house. The shelves are full of primers, powder, and other reloading stuff. Plenty of ammo on hand too in just about any caliber you want.

It was nice to see thirty round AR mags just hanging on the racks as well. Hell, they even had four or five of the forty round Pmags on hand.

Seems it's just Colorado that is picked over constantly by people hoarding stuff or trying to resell on Armslist for a quick profit.

Or it could be that the population of the Denver Metro Area is roughly 50 times the population of Casper (and 5 times the population of the entire state of Wyoming)?

Nope cause my brother told me Washington and Oregon are both pretty full and have almost everything you could want on hand....sans .22 LR

I travel a lot in the summer and every where I go has a better ammo supply than here, Wyoming utah Idaho New Mexico Montana Texas. I don't know if we just have a lot of hoarders or the ammo manufactures are pissed that we passed gun control laws. Needless to say I stock up when I see it and bring it home.

CONVOY!!!

Yeah, went to Tucson a couple weeks ago and ammo was even on WalMart shelves. Small gun store my father in law goes to had to store some still in cases on the floor as he didn't have the shelf space for all of it. I did grab some .45 and .380 to bring home. No .22 LR though. People there pissed about that as much as people here.

No, we just have a lot of Fu*ked up people that did a bunch of stupid Sh*t that made the news. Columbine, Aurora Theater, were our biggest. So they label all of us as ummm not so stable gun toting rednecks who shouldn't have as much as the other states. After Columbine "Sportsman's Guide" put a restriction on knives that could be shipped here. If the blade was over 4 - 5" long no sales to CO. You look at it now. Since the High cap restriction and no sales of said HC mags foe CO. They will allow certain knife's IE over the 5" length to be shipped. So here ya go CO. we at SMG don't want to loose all of our sale to your state so we'll let you have the bigger knives. But no way hosay on mags!!!!!!

Possibly. Lol.

I was in Florida 2 weeks ago and they were just as picked over as we are if not more. I actually think we have more ammo on the shelves then they did.

My local shops only started building up a supply of the popular calibers of pistol/rifle ammo on the shelves in the past month. Before that, if anything hit the shelves it was purchased immediately.

Primers/powders are slowly starting to come back too, but there still isn't a huge selection. Heading to a reloading shop tomorrow that I found two weeks ago (bought 2lbs of IMR4064 and they have quite a few 8lb jugs). Transferring a pistol with them and if they have stuff in stock, I might be buying some powder/primers as well.

22LR is still the one caliber I can't find. Saw a guy shooting it last week at the range, we chatted for a while and I commented that he must be filthy rich if he can afford 22LR. We both got a great laugh out of that, but I could tell all of the ammo he was shooting was at least 5-10yrs old based on the condition of the packaging.
