I'm friends with the owners of the three most popular specialty gun shops in town, one is also the shooting range on I-5. They have been setting sales records the last three years mainly on personal defense weapons even with the new Cabela's store in town. The Cabela's store firearms department is moving an alarming number of handguns and assault weapons (black guns).
I also know the CEO of local department chain in the PNW that does not sell handguns just long guns but sells ammunition and reloading components for both and very competitive pricing has been experience supply issues for the last three years which he feels is due to hoarding and new gun owners. A gun is no good without ammo and vice versa.............one has a serial number and one doesn't. The gold mentality may be applicable to ammunition going forward.........those these situations typically neutralize in 6 months this time it may be different.
