How much is too much . . . .

[VikingsGuy]

In a sister thread I asked how many firearms causes you to think a guy might be a little off his rocker. What about ammo?

Why is this a problem? As much as you want I say. mtmuley

ATF watching which number you choose.

I don't think a guy should keep very much at all and because I'm such a good HT community member I'll take it off your hands.

I think the correct answer is, whatever amount you happen to have at the point your wife gives you the ultimatum. " Either you stop buying ammo or I am outa here."

Never said there was a problem.

Although someone with $2k in horded ammo feels way different than $500k.

Especially if it's 22 short...

Wasn't directed at you. So, no problem. mtmuley

No chance I have over a 1000, and that's with a 500 brick of .22

@VikingsGuy are you just bored, or what? What purpose do these threads serve? Any decent gopher shooter has several bricks stored up, yet, you seem want to equate that with craziness, or at least submit it to a vote. Why do you care how much ammo anyone has, or how many guns? I have a friend who probably has 100 Class 3 weapons, mostly WW 1 and II, including a really cool Maxim and Browning 1917, and he is a Full Bird Colonel. So what is your point?

For the center fire deer/pig/elk rifles I try to keep enough for zero check with a balance of 20-30 loaded for each caliber to carry afield. A case of 5.56 on hand for AR practice, rarely hunt that round. Slugs and double ought for the defense shotty…maybe 20 rounds each. Ample .38, .357, .40, and .45 for the pistols, at least 60 rounds each.

Don’t shoot near as much since the shortage trend.

Are you sure you're a Texan?

I did not say any of that. It is a bit of a Rorschach test - and your reply is interesting. . .

Oh, I have a ton of .22 short, I bet they're coming for me next...

What part is interesting, or a Rorschach test? That gopher hunters have 4 bricks of .22s, or I have a rich dentist friend who happens to be a Full Bird AFNG who likes to collect weapons?
