Umm...no.

Should my local PDs (and there are half a dozen in my local area) or Sheriff's Departments put out a call for ammo to the local people...

Yeah, no.  Especially not the largest of the surrounding area PDs--they pushed for (and succeeded in getting) a law preventing Sudafed from being sold over the counter, even with it behind the counter. 

So, no.  Not our ammo.  Just not gonna happen.  Local cops are probably great people.  Lovely people.  I happen to know the local sheriff, and like him quite a lot.

But.

These are still the people who enforce the unconstitutional laws handed down by D.C.

Edited to add: Okay, what?  What kind of glue have "retailers" been sniffing when they accuse the customers of stockpiling ammo in the face of more restrictions, and blaming the current ammo shortages on that rather than DHS's orders?  

Hmm...I wonder if they will help the PDs they're deliberately shorting with those orders...

Edited again to add: First saw the stories over at Wirecutter's place, and forgot to link it.  I really shouldn't blog while drinking, either.
