Tanner UPDATE

[co.culliganman]

And one lady with a protest sign

And 9news was out there filming her........I asked them why and theyre answer was "to be balanced" Hah!

Here is how crazy, I bought 10 30rd Gi mags for 150 and a guy begged me to buy some.......I sold 5 for the same 150.......

The protestor strutted around pretty proud of herself, nose literally turned up and smug grin.

Not a single deal to be had that I saw, plenty of inflated prices though. Lots of $3000 DPMS rifles with MOE furniture and beat to crap USGI mags at $30 a pop.

OMG!!!! Thats the media for you... 1 person vs. thousands and thats balanced?!?!?!? And when they pick a person on the pro-gun side, they're gonna look for the person they think will give them the response they want. Someone that will make the rest of us look like idiots....

Was at head of the line. Got 2 XD45x13rd for $25 ea.---2 XD9x16 rd for $29 ea.---2 mini 14 20 rd for $25 ea. ALL FACTORY NEW IN PACKAGE.
Also got 2x8lb jugs of TAC for $127 ea. and a set of black Magpul BUIS for $90. All in 45 minutes. Then had to fight like hell to get out of the place!
Glad a few good people still sell at retail.

You were the guy with his tongue stuck on the door!

I would bet a hundred bucks of Monopoly money that the reporters knew that woman would be there because they worked out a deal with her in advance. I have been going to Tanner for 5 years and never saw a "protester" or a camera crew.

And yes, standard PMags were pretty universally $50 ea, with the windowed version $65 ea. Several places were selling .223 at $1/round. A "bargain" was about .070/round. At one seller, you could get the good Hornady 75 gr TAP for the same price as PMC 5.56 and just a little more than PMC 223.

Several firearms trainers I spoke with were concerned about ammo availability for their upcoming classes. 303Arms said they usually fire about 250 rounds/day for their handgun and carbine classes, but would be cutting that down and spending more time with dry fire and malfunction clearing drills. For the first time, they will be allowing students to use .22lr conversions. Man, these are very different times.

One thing to realize is how fast things go tits up after a panic. Just imagine the panic for a food shortage, when literally everyone is scrambling for whatever they find. I think such a panic will clear out stores in a single day, and not 3 days as some have said.

^^ well the good news is w/ the real fiscal cliff coming, gun owners are way ahead of the hyper inflation.

Pay attention folks.. these lines, bloated prices, dwindling inventory can happen to any market at the way this GOV borrows money.

Different how? I've been allowing 22's for years. Cost efficient, easier for first time shooters etc. After 1-2 hrs of 22, transition to the gun they will be carrying.
22, 9, 40, 45 no matter the caliber the mechanics are the same. Shooters have been doing it for years with AR's in 22lr.
