Two comments:
1. I live in a suburb of St. Louis, and several of their local stores have stopped selling guns, but still have ammo, hunting clothes, cleaning supplies, etc.
2. I was talking with asmall gun store manager earlier this week, and he says the wholesale prices of shotshells are jumping 20 to 30%. Being a friend, he suggested I quickly "stock up" on cheap promo shotshells from all the discount stores. Best prices i could find locally were $38/flat. Shot is now $26/bag, up from $17 a year ago.
