    When kids go to college I'm moving to America

     

    This. I'm afraid that anything sooner is just wishful thinking on my part and this will be the reality. The wife if 100% on board with that. But I wanna move NOW :) I do thinbk they will tax us out of here sooner though. Or there will be no jobs. Merck just announced that they are moving to NC, others will follow.

    I owned firearms for 12 years, but I joined right after Newtown, because I immediately knew that the fallout in NJ will be worse than on the National level. Too much stuff going on for Federal government to focus on gun control for too long, while our local govt. is never that busy. This was the only place I could count on to get all of the information on latest developments.

    That's assuming that the store had an inventory to sell off and had the resources to buy extra if they saw this coming. Perhaps a little store made a nice bump in sales but now there may be little money coming in.

     

    I agree. Forget that it's a gun store for a second, too much inventory is bad 99% of the time, because it's something you have to buy and pay for and then sit on, hoping that people want what you have. Meanwhile, if the stuff is not moving, you can't buy new stuff. Bad situation.

     

    No one could see Colorado and CT shootings coming and stock up accordingly. Those ARs sat on the shelves forever before all this, at least in NJ where you have nowhere to shoot them.

    I was simply stating the obvious I thought. Brick and mortar guys are raking in cash right now. So you think those bare shelves, both pistols and ammo, are selling at a loss? We must differ in opinion then. When I will be done shopping, I am 30% over budget. Who is profiting from my loss?

     

    I think you may be mistaken. Selling out of guns and ammo is only good for their shop if they can get more. Even if they double their prices for a month, it won't make them rich. Unless stuff starts coming in on a more regular basis, all the shops could be in trouble. The Cabelas, Dicks and Basspros of this world will be fine, as they make money on other stuff, but places like gunshops (the only places in NJ that sell REAL guns) could be in serious trouble. I saw Mastodon's post on Facebook yesterday. They got *9* boxes of 9mm ammo. Won't make them breathe a sigh of relief, I think.

    I keep it in a sock in the safe and have toyed with selling it seeing what some people are selling their mosins for but decided against it after taking those pics.

     

    What re they selling for? I want to get rid of one of mine - M44 (yes, no more room in the gun safe), but it's not worth the hassle for $100

    Thanks all for your help. I worked at UPS a long time ago as well. Even with all the missing packages, they run a surprisingly tight ship (ask about their facial hair policy). *IF* someone is stealing ammo there (let's keep in mind that as of now it's still an IF) then it's a deliberate and well planned action. Which is what scares me. This type of thing is exactly what can be used by some to justify outlawing mail order sales.

    Just got started in it myself. Making my own range in the basement (15 yards) - built a giant backstop out of pressure treated wood and carpeting :) When the weather gets nicer, will bring it outside for longer shots.

     

     

    ... while typing this, got an awesome idea - WHEELS!!! roll it, instead of carrying it....
