I walk into Gander mountain in New York State (upstate) just to check out deals on other things. I note what they DO have. I can say, being there last week, last month, there was a near clean out! There was almost complete cleanout after Sandy hook, and i mean The Ar15 on the wall is now gone ($1800) but was there a month ago. Ammo is gone, some of it was there a month ago, and they had crates of .223 prior (not sure, think it was Federal 400 rd box??) Not a single .223 round! no .22 ammo! this is all in one month. Not too sure where people- law abiding including the Sheriff that buy there- will get their firearms, ammo and accessories. I would be willing to bet, there is a shortage up here, no question about it. How long? guess years.
