National Ammo Day – by Gail Pepin
Tomorrow is the 7th annual National Ammo Day. The goal is for everyone to buy at least 100 rounds. Now some of you might say hasn’t that been going on all year? Hasn’t everyone already bought all the ammo they could get their hands on? Well yes, maybe.
Most calibers are still hard to find most places around the country including right here at ProArms. We do have ammo in all of the popular calibers except maybe .380. You may not find as wide a selection as in the past but this week is the time to buy at least 100 rounds and buy it preferably from your local stores, not the big boxes. If you can’t find that favorite 9mm or .45 load, get some shotgun shells, get anything you can use.
Christmas buying season is coming upon us. Kill two birds with one stone by purchasing ammo as “small gift” items for friends who own guns. It’s always appreciated, and those small, rectangular boxes are easy to wrap!
We keep hearing that ammo is becoming more available, but I have not really seen it while traveling around the country, and I visit gun shops everywhere I go. The ones that seem to have a good supply of ammo either stockpiled it early, like my friends at Maxon Range in DesPlaines, IL and mete it out in reasonable amounts so no one hoarder can buy it all up. Then there are some other places (who shall remain nameless) that have plenty of ammo but sell it at gouging prices. I hope everyone remembers who they are when this ammo crisis is over.
National Ammo Day is also a good time to let your representatives know what you are doing and why, and let them know how you support the Second Amendment and hope they will, too. There is a link on the National Ammo Day Website for contacting your representatives.
Pro Arms has a pretty good selection of ammo this week. Stop by the store and see what we have that you might be able to use!
