The Surprising Reason Why Gun Shows Are A Great Place To Buy Ammo Right Now

The Ammo Shortage is making it more difficult to find ammunition on the shelves. So are Gun Shows now the best place to find affordable ammo during the national ammunition shortage?

    Guns shows are suck. Everything is marked up.



  2. RockawayCCW on July 18, 2023 at 5:22 am

    Most independent gun stores are selling their ammo on gunbroker instead of putting it on the shelf because they can get more money that way.

    DO NOT Go to the Gun Shows to buy ammo. Way Way Way Overpriced !! Gun shows used to be fun but NOT Anymore !



  5. kenofken on July 18, 2023 at 5:23 am

    You can find ammo at the shows if you’re willing to pay stupid prices for it. I’m not.



  6. Julie Bratcher on July 18, 2023 at 5:25 am

    Just went to my first gun show today, I bought 38 special ammo for $45 for 50 rounds in NW Arizona. there was a lot of ammo at the show.



  7. Leonard Piskac on July 18, 2023 at 5:25 am

  8. Troy Richards on July 18, 2023 at 5:29 am

    thank you for what you do.



  9. Tyson Murphy on July 18, 2023 at 5:29 am

    Ya. No thanks. Ammo is not worth the rapist prices for old stock.



  10. Mark Randle on July 18, 2023 at 5:29 am

    Haven’t been to a gun show lately, but got lucky with 2 local vendors, 1 and reloader company with online purchase & 2nd my specialized black powder store had a decent supply @ a reasonable price. Good luck everyone



  11. Jeff Skidmore on July 18, 2023 at 5:30 am

    The prices at the local
    gun show here was way over priced.



  12. Nalo Boy 74 on July 18, 2023 at 5:31 am

    I’m here in SW MO and my main two shops I go to are always getting in ammo.



  13. southcoaster on July 18, 2023 at 5:31 am

    I think people who own (or want to own) weapons are concerned there is a plot to make gun ownership impossible so they are trying to stock up.



  14. Large Larry on July 18, 2023 at 5:32 am

    A lot of gun shows have been canceled over and over so dealers have no place to sell their ammo. I buy ammo at gun shows so it has no paper trail and I save the tax from time to time. Gun shows are also good places to buy ammo from other customers or even trade them for ammo. Myself I replaced drinking, smoking, gambling, drag racing, muscle cars and movie going with gun shows, gun shops and pawn shops decades ago. I end up spending the same amount of money I just accumulate a lot of items that skyrocket in value such as ammo. I’m biting at the bit to go to Knob Creek and go on a feeding frenzy.



  15. Vince F on July 18, 2023 at 5:32 am

    They keep canceling the gun shows around NW INDIANA. Covid is allegedly the reason. ????



  16. bertram jones sr. on July 18, 2023 at 5:36 am

    still buying ammo 2 boxes at a time at academy in Houston at ok prices.



  17. Jack Jones on July 18, 2023 at 5:39 am

    Do you live in MO.



  18. His servant T on July 18, 2023 at 5:41 am

    Man this dude should have a show on The discovery channel



  19. John Knierim on July 18, 2023 at 5:41 am

    Ammo prices are almost 3 times higher at a gun show. That what I’ve seen.



  20. PDOT21 Downs on July 18, 2023 at 5:42 am

    Sat in line today for an hour to get 100 rounds of 9mm here in NorCal.. $33 after military discount. Nit worth the wait for me.



  21. Tings on July 18, 2023 at 5:43 am

    What you mean boss ? 5.56 is 200& for 200 rounds on the table . Hell nah



  22. Rodiculous on July 18, 2023 at 5:44 am

    I love going to em 99% is garbage or overpriced 1% amazing deals if you know how to spot em. The people watching aspect too is hilarious 🤣 plus i get to play with some cool guns sometimes



  23. Johnny Khao on July 18, 2023 at 5:45 am

    I can find ammo but it’s expensive!!



  24. Cipher Code on July 18, 2023 at 5:46 am

    If they have any,that’s a good enough reason. Been to bass pro,rural king,Walmart, local shops,etc. Bass pro had 4 boxes of 28ga shotshells. 5 rounds each for $53 a box.



  25. Pete Davidson on July 18, 2023 at 5:46 am

    Shows should have free admission and charge the sellers to make thie money. Admission is too high to to hope to get reasonable priced ammo.



  26. Mr Cevant on July 18, 2023 at 5:46 am

    If I find ammo it’s usually overpriced. I only know of one store that sells at a reasonable price but its rare that they have anything other than 22lr and they only have it on the shelves for a few hours usually. Thats west of the rockies



  27. danawayne1954 on July 18, 2023 at 5:48 am

    going to one Sat..$5 to get in….don’t usually buy due to prices but we will go with money



  28. Douglas Phillips on July 18, 2023 at 5:50 am

    It’s starting to get a bit easier to find ammo for practice but the Defense HP ammo is ridiculously expensive & I’m glad I have not shot much of that except a mag every blue moon to make sure it runs Ok!



  29. Vic Brandt on July 18, 2023 at 5:52 am

    Stopped going to gun shows because the vendors are mostly price gouging crooks!



  30. mach e on July 18, 2023 at 5:52 am

    I know where to get ammo at .80 per round.



  31. David Roberts on July 18, 2023 at 5:53 am

    I find a place not in my state but next door the ammo is price is pretty decent I will definitely keep shopping there 👍🏼 but still having a hard. Time finding 44
    Mag rounds bit I will keep trying 👍🏼



  32. David Cox on July 18, 2023 at 5:54 am

    Found a mixed bag of .22 LR at a gun show in STL couple of months ago. Small dealer getting rid of it at a decent price. Didn’t really look for anything else. But seemed to be a variety of calibers at the tables, though a bit pricey. Didn’t see the bulk cases or crates of surplus ammo that were common in the olden days. We’ll see if more is available as the spring shows roll around.



  33. Big Dog on July 18, 2023 at 5:54 am

    I stay in Florida ammo is $40 per box of 20 rounds just sad



  34. John Gibson on July 18, 2023 at 5:58 am

    You are correct as far as the price of guns is still outrageous. The ammunition is still not readily available, but it has improved. The price is still a little inflated but some of it is the same as the local gun shop I frequent. So as usual you are on top of your game. Columbus Ohio is where I call home. And the local mall has been shut down for years,so about once a month there’s a gun show at the Sears location at the mall.



  35. Jelt NY on July 18, 2023 at 6:00 am

    Up here in upstate NY. a gun show is a good place to check out different types of firearms to see what you like, but way to expensive to buy them their . As for ammo it is 3 times the price at gun shows, but if you have an unpopular size ammo it’s a good place like a few years ago my buddy had a 10 mm and that’ was the only place he could find it …….



  36. Chris Reetz on July 18, 2023 at 6:05 am

    Few weeks ago in your video you said you were going to go to any more gun shows and you almost immediately must have went to some



  37. HHH Services LLC on July 18, 2023 at 6:06 am

    North Dakota here, central. Serious scarcity on ammo here. No matter rifle or pistol…. you can find 9mm occasionally, but thats about it.



  38. Ryan Johnson on July 18, 2023 at 6:06 am

    They aren’t



  39. Jay Rowe on July 18, 2023 at 6:09 am

    The absolute best thing people could do right now is to stop obsessing about buying a gun or ammo. Then we’ll get back to normal quicker.



  40. Gene Gene on July 18, 2023 at 6:10 am

    Had to make a 200 mile trip a few days ago. So i looked up every gunshop, pawn shop and sporting goods store within about 20 miles of route. Left 24 hours before my appointment to not miss a store.Most were closed indefinitely. None had an even decent supply of ammo. And the ones that did have were overly priced. 380 fmj $49. For a box of 20.



  41. Mandy O'Mally on July 18, 2023 at 6:10 am

    In Pennsylvania we are back to having more gun shows because Pennsylvanians know that the Covid pandemic was just an election "thing" that spread world wide. Thank god no one gets the common cold nor flu anymore ??????. As far as ammo prices, our Pa large show’s have ammo way to high, our smaller show’s have ammo prices reasonable.



  42. J R on July 18, 2023 at 6:12 am

    WHY WATCH THIS??



  43. Kingoshi on July 18, 2023 at 6:13 am

    I’m going to my first gun show today. $10 per adult to get in



  44. Abu bakr Al baghdadi on July 18, 2023 at 6:13 am

    I have to drive a hour away for ammo bcs walmart stopped selling 🙁



  45. Cora. Hollon on July 18, 2023 at 6:15 am

    A recent gun show I attended just north of Columbia, MO had 50 round boxes of 9mm for $75 a box. I’m not going to pay that kind of a price if I can avoid it.



  46. Heavy_Chevy.01 on July 18, 2023 at 6:16 am

    Notice all the monarch brand ammo, from Academy lmao



  47. Chevyman ll on July 18, 2023 at 6:16 am

    People have GOT to quit buying any ammo for at least a month. Inventory will grow and prices will drop. We have to fight back y’all. This is the only way

    I just went to are gun show this weekend to look for ammo. The didn’t have any of the ammo that I need. Like 45/70 , 30.30, 30.06 and a couple others that I need.



  50. James Johanson on July 18, 2023 at 6:17 am

    The Price of ARMO @ GUNSHOWS are to expensive. But some vendors do give you a Jar of Vasoline with every purchase.
