After almost a year, ammo shortage starting to ease in Dallas-Fort Worth Fort Worth Star-Te...: "David Foster of Bedford has had a hard time all year finding ammunition for his guns.
After finding mostly empty shelves at gun stores, he finally went to a gun show a few months ago to stock up.
'I couldn’t find it anywhere except the gun show, and even there I had a hard time,' said Foster, 31. 'And it cost a lot.'
But workers in the weapons industry point to signs that a nearly yearlong nationwide ammunition shortage may be winding down. More ammo is making it to store shelves now, and the price is slowly coming down.
'We’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel,' said DeWayne Irwin, owner of Cheaper Than Dirt, a Fort Worth store and online retailer. 'I’ve been doing this business since 1988, and I’ve never seen something like this happen with ammunition. But it’s not going to be like this forever.'"
