I have been traveling over the last week as we look to expand a few new things that you will be hearing about very soon. I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised with a few of these projects. As I have traveled to across Tennessee and Virginia, I have noticed that ammo problems seem to be localized. In Nashville we have limited amounts of ammo available. In Knoxville, there is none.
