Just got back from Kentucky, was down there for an interview and short vacation. I did get to check out several major retailers(Walmart, Dunhams,ect) and then several small gun stores. Heres what I saw:

 

Ammo

 

9mm: Saw a 250 round pack for $75 at Dunhams(kind of like Sports Authority up here). None at Walmart for the 4 days I was there. None at the small gun shops.

 

.223/5.56: None. Anywhere.

 

12ga: Got lucky at Walmart. Picked up 200 shells of birdshot for 25.99. Bought 1 box of Federal 00 Buckshot, 25 shells for 11.99. They had 3 left. Dunhams had slugs, very few boxes though. None at the small shops.

 

.22LR: None. Anywhere.

 

.45acp: Some small boxes at the small gun shops. Nothing at the big stores.

 

.40 S&W: None. Anywhere

 

7.62: None. Anywhere

 

5.7: Several boxes at the small gun shops

 

Guns:

 

ARs: Several at Walmart & small gun shops. Prices ranged from $700-1200.

 

Shotguns: Many at Walmart & small gun shops.

 

Pistols: Many at small gun shops. All calibers. None at walmart.

 

Rifles: Lots of Remington 700s and assorted .22s at both Walmart & small gun shops

 

Magazines:

 

PMAGS and AR Mags: 10-12 30 rounders at the small gun shops each day. Obviously not PRNJ legal but they can be pinned.

 

9mm: Several S&W & Glock. 17 rounders and 8 rounders at the small gun shops

 

.45: None anywhere.

 

.40cal: None anywhere.

 

Shotgun tube extensions: None. Anywhere.

 

 

According to the cashiers and owners, .22LR is the new gold. It can not be found anywhere. If they do get some, the brick is broken up and sold as a specific quantity. Mags have been flowing in and out. Obviously not as fast as pre Connecticut but available. I felt like a free man down there. I open carried and could shoot out my friends back yard without any problems. We went to a local rock quarry and shot about 1200 rounds of 9mm, .223, 12ga, 5.7, 7.62, and .50 cal. It was a blast. Heres a pic and video. I may be moving down there soon if this job opportunity comes through woot woot!

Much appreciated. Good luck on the job interview.

 

I get the feeling that "NJ-compliant" ARs may get harder to find. Any state that has the 2-characteristic AWB now is at-risk for 1-characteristic AWB.

Shooting in my backyard is my dream, good luck on your escape plan.

Congrats! Beautiful country down there. I've got friends in the Georgetown area.

enjoyed the 50 cal vid....hope you get the job

Thanks everyone! It sure is different there. I felt weird carrying but I didn't get a single look or anything. LEOs were cool down there too, we went to a Dennys and there were two officers there. My friend was conceal carrying and I was open carrying, they didn't even flinch.
