Pennsylvania has good laws because people have been fleeing the cities long enough to loosen their grip on the statehouse. Maryland is anchored by the DC suburbs and Baltimore; most of the state geographically is sane, but the population skews crazy. Likewise most of New York state is sane, but New York City skews the demographics.

Scheels in Sioux Falls, SD had full ammo shelves a couple days ago. .45, .380, .223, pretty much everything. Loaded up, but am going to be eating ramen noodles for a couple weeks.

PA is about as left wing as NY, NJ, et al. After all, you have Specter, Casey and Rendell, as well as Nutty (er Nutter) in Philly and PIT passed the 24 hr theft notification law. You may be an oasis when it comes to rural gun laws, but that's it.
As for ammo, it has been popping up a bit more lately. I was able to get a few boxes at 2 different WWs last week.

Yesterday, my local walmart had alot of blazer 9mm and and .40 available, also had remington and winchester .308 and some 30-06...
Primers! I can now walk into 2 outta the 5 shops I frequent and reliably find primers. The shops however have limits one is 200 federal primers and 100 of any other brand. The other shop's limit is 400 of any one type of primer. Now if only Accurate will start sending No5 and No7 powders to the shops I will be back in buisness!

Local WW has some handgun ammo ( .9mm .45acp .40S&W ) but for the first time in 4months no slugs or .22LR CCI. Still had .30/30 
and other rifle ammo.

Went shooting with a friend of mine today...couldn't shoot his SKS however, because someone broke into his truck to steal a couple boxes of 7.62x39.

380 acp ammo
Last week Cheaper Than Dirt had 380acp for $70 a box. A rip off price. Now they show 380acp for $50 a box. Still a rip off. Don't buy it and the price will continue to drop. The ammo problem is sorting itself out if people will be patient. I don't care for BHO but he really doesn't have anything to do with ammo or gun prices. Conservative Demos are neutering him just like the liberals did Bush. We should not have problems with him until late in his administration. Those people profiteering on ammo are using the capitalist system and have a right to do so. They are just screwing up the supply system though and personaly I hope they choke on their inventory as supply catches up with demand. Capitalists can be their own worst enemies. Sometimes citizenship means not making the most you can at someone elses expense. I'm sure others will disagree.

I reload the round at .10 a round, ammo shortage has not bothered me a bit, now Primers, there is a different story. Consider re-loading, even on a normal market savings can still be had.......

Wow~! $70 a box for .380 ACP FMC; now down to $50, YES a big rip-off.
Heck, we NEVER got over $19.88 for a box of 50 rounds; although some
of it was made oversea's. Cheaper Than Dirt can keep their ammo; as I
will continue too buy from my employer~!

Ammo is flowing like a river here in Sacramento Ca, it wasnt for a good 8 months. Even wally world had no centerfire ammo besides .25 cal. Now the shelves are filled and their is even guns that were unable to purchase before the shortage.

Thats the only 380 i can find, aside from 20 round boxes of buffalo bore for $23 which is to much for plinking rounds. Anyone know where some 380 is online for a decent price?

Frustrating, Eric. I've got box Of Winchester 38 super auto silver tip hp's I Can't use and am looking to trade for .357 of equal quality!
We should find people within our respective ares and trade..have a hunch there's going to be a lot of that going on in the future,

Still haven't seen much. There's more in stock, slightly, so maybe the shortage is ending. But the price-gouging continues.

More seems to be coming in (except .45acp, where there is ever-so-slightly more) but moves off the shelves just as fast. WalMart and Academy seem to be selling at the same prices they always have...
