I live in NW IA.
Sioux City Scheel's, Dunham's, nothing but birdshot and shrts.
Walmart (2 of them) get some .22LR about once a week. Mainly CCI 100 packs.
I travel to Chicago frequently.
Stopped at 5 Walmarts from Arlington Heights, Rockford, Delavan WI, Dubuque, IA.- No .22 LR except birdshot and .22 Shorts.
Was in Omaha NE yesterday, stopped in the 2nd or 3rd largest Scheel's in the country suposedly, no .22 LR.
The most disturbing thing also, I would say that all three Scheel's I have been in in the last 2 weeks had about 10% of the handguns they would normally have. No Glocks, no SIG's, a few Kimber's, a few .22LR pistols. Wiped out.
