Steve Biondich of Aurora (right) came looking for .380 mm ammunition at the Fisherman's Corner in Pike Lake. "You've got to stock up while you can," said Biondich. "I've checked 10 places in the last week and still haven't found it." Biondich is concerned that the current administration may restrict some opportunities for gun owners. Biondich was helped by store owner Scott VanValkenburg.(Bob King / rking@duluthnews.com)
