Good one, no one ever has enough ammo.

 

There is "enough ammo" vs. "ENOUGH AMMO".

No one has ENOUGH AMMO that they never have to worry about it every again.
What I am suggesting is that you load up all your mags and have enough to do it again.

But what amazes me is that, most people don't have enough ammo to shoot the bad guy who entered their home, or go to the range, or shoot an animal for dinner or ....



And if you have an outdated cartridge (or your friends do), now is the time to find ammo for that gun also.
That 5.6x50 that you don't use very often.
That 300 Savage that your brother in law has but doesn't use.
That 38-40 that grandad's grandad bought new before the west was one....
Even that little 25ACP that is not good for much.
Be ready to feed all the rifles enough to take care of business if needed.

 

Well, I bought a couple lifetimes worth when I thought Hillary would win. I sold one lifetime supply when prices were crazy so now I am down to enough to last me forever. That is unless I live to 110.

 

never enough

 

I've got over 10K rounds of .22lr and enough suppressor hosts and parts to last my lifetime.

So yes, in most circumstances I do. I can carry THOUSANDS of rounds on my person and take down everything from food sources up to two legged problems.

The real question should be, do folks have enough ammo they can take WITH THEM when you inevitably have to leave your castle.

Me? Yep. I'm good.

 

I have more ammo than I will ever shoot in my lifetime... and if all hell breaks loose, I'll probably shoot a LOT LESS than I do now.

 

Enough for what kind of scenario?

Mad Max, or the more realistic surviving isolated and seeing people sporadically and both of you running away because you can’t trust anyone?

Plenty as long as I’m not fighting a full out war. Survival, hunting, protection, etc. but my shooting habits would change.

 

You are thinking some grand scheme surviving to the end of the world....
I am thinking much simpler.

How many people have less than a box of ammo?
If tomorrow the gov. said, no more civilian sales....
If tomorrow you needed to hunt your dinner....
If tomorrow the X population decided to attack the Y population....

Heck, if tomorrow you wanted to go to the range and go before the store opens up....

I am saying at least have enough ammo to fill your mags and a box more.

 

It would outlast longer than I would live, then the enemy gets it.

 

I have enough.


Will others have a place to shoot?

 

Yes, we will.

 

Well, if .22lr is good for zombies, i have enough to shoot 2 zombies every day for the next 35 years.

 

 

How many rounds does one need when the dookie hits the proverbial fan?

 

 

Is there even such a thing as "enough ammo"?

The questions should be "Do you have enough room to store more ammo"?

 

I have too much ammo …….said no one ever 😏

 

How do you envision 'all hell breaking loose' impacting my shooting habits? Are you thinking I'll shoot less or shoot more? Is this about the ability to buy ammo or shoot? Or are you thinking I'll need to shoot whatever it is that's causing hell to break loose?

Kind of an ambiguous question.

 

If the SHTF then I'd rather have ammo to trade than precious metal. .22LR and 9mm is much better.
Edit: add 12 ga to the list.

 

I am not talking about that. I am not talking piles of ammo. I am not talking about enough to trade.
I am talking about having the bare minimum. All your mags loaded and a box more.

And not just you, but your friends, cousin, brother in law, ..... The idea is to give it away now. Be the ammo person. Make the world a little better.

 

For the moment , yes . " If all hell breaks loose .." can mean a lot of things . Depending on the circumstances you may survive for years , or only for a few minutes .

 

You know, I should figure out how much ammo I actually have... which makes it sound like a lot, but I'd guess it's less than average for the active members of this site.

 

It isn't about my ammo pile vs. yours.
It is about having enough to fill your mags and having a box more.
Anything beyond that is bonus.

And you must not have been around when Obama took office and everyone was *****ing about not having any ammo. There was none on the shelves and people talked about how they couldn't go to the range because they had no ammo at home and .... People talked about how they were looking ANY ammo because they had no ammo for their gun at all.

 

I have enough.

 

I’m good. The wife is good. My kids are good. My granddaughter is good too. Hell even the dogs are good. It gets a little iffy when it comes to the cat.

 

Don't worry about the cat, he has plenty

 

I'm set.

 

This is no different than do you have a fire extinguisher or do you have smoke alarms.

Decide for yourself how many you need and where you need to put them.
But if you know that you don't have a smoke detector or extinguisher.... you know you should.

 

At my age, if SHTF I only need one round. For me.

 

"A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition”
-Kipling

 

Yes.

 

Ammo is like being on time.
On time is late. Early is on time.
Enough isn't enough. Too much is enough.

 

Same with mags. Never to many.
