Lots of pretty crappy stuff and own brand rubbish in Basspro, so huge as they are, much of it isn’t great. I guess the gun and ammo sections are now sold out as Americans panic buy because zombies, government coming to get me, Chinese, etc. Even after 3 years I never got used to how weird mid-west Americans can be.

When Obama took office for the first time he was single handedly the best for promoting the buying of guns/ammo as the US went nuts and companies were pumping out as much as they could to keep up with their domestic demand it was hard for them to keep up with international demand... walking into Serious Shooters or Reloader Supplies and seeing their shelves half empty was a result of that.

I wonder what the ripple effect of this covid will cause in the states with gun/ammo sales and the effect it will have with supplies reaching our shores.
