    How Much AMMO is Enough??

    Just trying to keep inventory on my Ammo stash and starting to wonder how the heck would i carry all this in a SHTF situation? 6 Ammo cans full of 4 different calibers. Maybe bunker down? Maybe take loaded mags to go?

    What would YALL say is a nice round number?

    Any gun owner who does not support the NRA is a freeloader.

            There will never be a SHTF situation.

            Unless you're an extra in a Zombie Movie.

            Here in Southern California the only thing that might happen is a Major Earthquake.

            In that situation, we plan to stay at home to feed and help others if we can.

            As for AMMO...we reload and have plenty.

            ZombieTactics has a interesting YouTube on Too much ammo..hahaha..you might look at that.

            Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

              I don't know how much is enough, but I have a 1000 rounds of .223 en route.
              That should help

                        I keep 60-100 rounds of factory defensive ammo for each caliber. I have several hundred, at any one time, of practice plated ammo that I make myself.

                        My rifle is my primary weapon, pistol is backup.

                          I don't pretend to be an "authority." I'm just a guy who trains a lot, shoots a lot and has a perspective.

                              Although the general consensus is a standard "there is no such thing as too much", I think it varies from person to person.

                              What I would suggest is what one person replied to "How many guns is too much"......

                              "When your fear that you do not have enough is replaced by a fear you have too much....that is when you have enough"
