HELENA â We all remember when the pandemic started, a lot of things left store shelves fast. Basic cooking items, hand sanitizer. Andâ¦yes, toilet paper.
âRight after people figured out they couldnât get enough toilet paper they started thinking about ammunition,â said Ed Beall, owner of
Capital Sports in Helena. But unlike TP, ammo shelves are still emptier than normal.
Gun and ammunition sales often surge based on hunting season and national events, so a run on ammo in the past chaotic year was expected.
But for Beall, this time around is different than anything heâs seen. âIâve been here 36 years, our companyâs been here 50 years, weâve seen all these cycles, this is definitely the biggest one of those cycles in terms of the impact and will have the biggest impact on supply,â said Beall.

The National Capital Commission says it will reveal this spring which applicants meet its criteria to move on to stage two in its search for a contractor to redevelop a prime parcel of land at LeBreton Flats.
The Crown corporation said after its board meeting Thursday it expects to announce in April which candidates will be asked to submit full proposals for the property at 665 Albert St., near the future home of the Ottawa Public Library’s main branch. The project will mark the first stage of the NCC’s long-term plan to rebuild the 55-acre LeBreton Flats site.
The upcoming announcement of the short-listed developers will follow a review of preliminary proposals from applicants, who have until Feb. 8 to submit their vision for the 2.5-acre plot of land. The process was delayed several months during the coronavirus pandemic.
