LAFAYETTE â Gun owners across the nation, including here in Acadiana, are reporting a problem getting ammunition. I used to get one or two pallets every two weeks, now I get half of one a month, Caleb Morse, owner of The Rustic Renegade, said.
While The Rustic Renegade is not technically a gun store, Morse has been selling ammo and firearms for the last two years. He says the ammunition shortage began with the pandemic. The reason behind that is the materials to produce them just aren t here in the United States, explained Morse. The majority of the lead mines are in China. When COVID originally happened, they were the first ones to shut down.
