Ammo flying off store shelves across Central Illinois

(MCT) — BLOOMINGTON — If there are worries about gun regulations being tightened in the wake of recent mass shootings, they appear to be showing up on the shelves of ammunition sellers in Central Illinois.

Walmart stores in the Bloomington and Decatur areas, some of the largest ammunition sellers, are either out of or had very few remaining boxes of several common types of ammunition, like 9mm, this week. Spokesmen for Walmart and Dick’s, another big ammo seller reporting shortages, did not respond to questions about their supplies as of Wednesday.
