I was thinking on that for some time. Maybe I should stock up a few boxes of ammo just in case I get a new gun or two. Then I would have the ammo readily available. Thoughts?

I would start with the 9MM or the 12 Gauge, both great guns that everyone should own!

i have plenty of ammo for stuff i dont own.i scored it when the deal was right.it is nothing more than bartering stock for me.i posted some bullets on here today that i have little to nothing into but i dont have a gun for them.in the right time and place i might be able to feed my family on "surplus to me" ammo.

Unless you reload, you are pretty much out of luck! I have about 200 reloaded rounds right know. They should last awhile since they are for B.U.G. practice!

Daniel Craig is afraid of guns. Extremely paranoid around them. I read an article/interview that he did... LOL
Great fuckin' Bond

Moore and Brosnan are sissy boys by comparison.

Of course I also loved Juan Conejo in the beaner version...

Focus on ammo for the guns you already have. If you can get extra ammo here and there for free, like a box of 32 H&R for being the fifth customer of the day at the local Piggly Wiggly, then sure. Don't stock up just for the sake of it.

If you can't win their hearts and minds, then expose their hearts and minds to open oxygen. WHEN IN DOUBT, THIRTY OUT!!
