Ammunition Shortage July 5, 2013 7:04 pm RobVG

I like to shoot .22′s on occasion. Even though I live in a sparsely populated area, I still consider my distant neighbors and shoot for no more than a half hour. I decided I’d go further to be a good neighbor and purchase .22 “sub-sonics”, which sound more like caps in a cap gun.

The guy at sporting goods store laughed at me. He said, “If you show up Monday morning when we open you might be able to get a box. The next store said they rarely have them on the shelf anymore and they’re gone as soon as they come in.
