Was at the Safeway in Damascus, MoCo county. They had plenty on the racks. Seem like the same as they have always had there.
Has been going on for some time, especially in grocery stores and convenience stores. Heck I've seen places that carry porn but not gun magazines. I continue to support publishers through direct subscriptions.

My local Royal Farm Store is like that ... But I only buy them (and the gun mags) for the articles.

Hey, I get two out of three of those in the mail!
I enjoy the Gun Tests articles, and thought about subscribing at least to their online content.
Anymore there are so many videos, reviews and free online content, I only really need the magazines for bathroom reading, or to give away after flipping through it.
I agree, it is much cheaper for me to subscribe to the magazines that I like reading. I get a few of them including Guns and Ammo, delivered each month both in print and to my iPad. I don't recall the last time I actually bought a magazine at a grocery store!
Nevertheless, if 2A related magazines are selectively disappearing off the shelves, then something definitely smells fishy.

This might also be a reason to write to the publishers themselves.

Finally made it to the store (I don't make it to the store unless I feel the need to get my skull drilled with no pain killers).
Here in the heart of Columbiastan I saw two gun rags and four hunting mags on the shelf. Six more than I actually expected! At the same eye level as Frosted Flakes, conveniently for the children! who woulda thunk?
I think firearms rags are disappearing because of the interwebs like most things. Before all my purchases, I read online reviews and videos. MDS naturally is my only news source, who needs a magazine? Shelf space cost $$, I will not be surprised to see the entire rack removed in 10 years.

I want my record stores back. Remember the ones that smelled like incense and bong water. Black light posters ( The fuzzy ones). Crap I'm getting old.

That is how the Edgewater Giant used to look. I can't imagine a liberal stronghold like Towson having the mags and not a blue collar town like Edgewater.

That's a shocker ...
The residents must be living vicariously through the magazines they read.
