Here is an odd thing ' my brother went to Walmart, Meijer etc to get fishing tackle. He said they were both sold out of tons of things. Hooks, sinkers, lures all kinds of things. Anybody else see this?

The fishing spots and all outdoor hiking etc have been filled to the brim. People not working, lack of other entertainment has shifted people back to fishing and the like.
Plus I still think the stuff made in China is still impacted by logistics.
Bedford Walmart has been sold out of 80% of their fishing line this spring.

Meijer and Walmart are out of a lot of fishing gear up here too. I had to go to four different places just to get line.

Thomlinson in Chrubusco had a decent supply of most ammo. There was a limited selection of 9mm, .40 and .45ACP defense rounds but they still had some. If I need powder for reloading and nobody local has it I make the hour + drive there. Had a nurse visit Moms and she and her husband are firearm instructors. She carried 2 in her car, and when I mentioned that an ankle holster would fit her line of work perfectly she said that she had a holster ordered, she couldn't carry regularly because the patients would feel the gun. She said she wasn't supposed to carry, but she wasn't going to rely on the enforcement to get there in time. She has also refused to go to some areas of South Bend because of the hour of the day and the neighborhood. I support Thomlinson because of the fact they carry Black Powder. I doubt they get their Explosive dealer License cost back each year. I buy at least a pound per year even if i do not use it. I raely go there that I do not spend at least $50. The Sportsmans Warehouse has a good selection of powder and bullets too.

Remember when Walmart used to brag about the MADE IN USE products they sold??? I went by their bikes the other day. Very little to choose from. I think Christmas shopping will be a cutthroat affair this year.
