This is way out of hand. The past 2 1/2 days, I drove from Indy to where I'm staying for a few days, in Phoenix. I took the normal route for coming out here(70 to St. Louis, down to Tulsa/OKC, then 40 west through Amarillo, Albuquerue, and Flagstaff, then 17 down here to Phoenix.
When I was coming into Tulsa, I got the bright idea, "why not look for ammo in the cities that I'm traveling through. I called every gunshop/sporting goods store in Tulsa. No one had .380(the only thing I'm looking for atm). I go through OKC...I left a message for the one place that didn't answer, and about an hour later, I get a call back from them and they had a lot of .380, but would have to limit me to 2 boxes. I will stop by there on my way back next week to see if they still have any. On to Amarillo and Albuquerue....No one had ANY in either one of those cities. I evened opened up my search to include Walmarts. Albuquerque is a decent sized city...I called the few places my gps brough up when coming into Flagstaff, and managed to find one place that said he has .380 on its way from california, and should have it by friday or monday, but didn't have any in stock right now. I come into Phoenix and called a few places...I've only called 3-4 places, and found one place that has .380, but wants $30/50rd of PMC. I haven't checked to see what going rate is on that stuff to see if it's avg price or above. I go to Long Beach on Sunday, so I will also check in the towns on the way there as well as the LB area. I didn't have this much trouble find .223 in November...and this is just handgun ammo...
No one can get .380, at all.
