And they had ZERO ammo in stock. Every WM on the shore had no 22, no handgun ammo, and no military-caliber rifle ammo. NONE. All they had was 270 ammo and 12 and 20 gauge shotshells. GM and Dick's in Salisbury were the same. Hell, you couldn't even find .30-30 anywhere. They didn't raise prices and were wiped out, with nothing for us to buy.
So you had WM, GM, Dick's, etc with no ammo to buy. You had CTD and other online shops with ammo in stock but severely marked up. THE ONLY LOSERS WERE THE UNPREPARED! And embarrassingly enough, that included me. Lesson learned.
Full disclaimer: While it may seem like I'm defending CTD and their practices, I've never bought anything from them, before or after this crap. Not because of anything they did or didn't do. They just aren't a place I look to for my needs. I do understand, and endorse, free market principles though.
Learn the lesson well, most who were prepared also learned it the hard way in previous shortages. Also remember the lesson applies to everything not just ammo. If there is something you can not or would rather not do without stock up when you can get as much as you think you may need then get a little more. There will be other shortages in your future the only unknowns are what and when.
