Gun owners camp out early to stock up on ammunition

On a muggy Thursday morning, a line stretched outside of the College Station Academy Sports and Outdoors. The group of 30 people had started to congregate at midnight, eight hours before opening.

In Central Texas, gun owners know the places that will ration out what little ammo is available and what times they reload. In the wake of a Connecticut elementary school massacre that left 20 children dead, and the subsequent cries for gun control, the sales of firearms and ammunition has never been better. Since December, guns and ammunition have been hard to come by, even for law enforcement.

<<<snip>>>

A lot of the customers are worried about gun control measures, Stulce said.

"That's the big thing we're hearing," he said. "They may have had one or two boxes of ammo at home and they felt that was all that they needed, and now they're not satisfied unless they have a couple of thousand rounds."
