Those are rookie numbers.

Possibly. But that is not all I have. Just the amount I bought that day. I usually go a couple time each month and buy an amount that I can carry out.

Seriously, does anyone think you are going to need or use thousands of rounds in various calibers? If it’s really that bad you are going to be overrun by hordes of zombies or whatever, it better be more than you and your gun stopping them.

I have a couple hundred rounds of various pistol and shotgun rounds and I don’t lose any sleep at night over not having enough.

Exactly. That's why I've stocked up on these:




Note to ATF: This is just a joke. I don't have any mines. Really.

Last year was a light year on the range. I only burnt about 3500 rounds of pistol ammo and 300 or so of rifle. I bet DAB expended twice that or better. A standard course of sporting clays can burn 150 or more shells if the shooter is not having a good day. Go to 3 or 4 clays shoots a year? Easy. Then there's practice as well if you want to score well.

I have seen ammunition used as currency in recent times past as well....
It has no "best if used by" date and is easily converted to cash if it does not get used. Once you run out of ammo the fun ends and the gun is simply a club.
