Are you hoarding ammo?

[nitehawk117]

Ensuring you have enough of something is not hoarding. Particularly if you are still consuming that particular asset.

Been gathering ammo like a tweeker for almost 10 years. Many of us knew, long ago, they would go after ammo when going after guns didn't work as well.
This new law is not the first, nor the last ammo regulation.

PSA not shipping anymore, as of today. They'll only ship to FFL.

And they put a sale on 223 - (WTF) $32 / 150 rounds

Hoarding is such an ugly word....it’s more like “investing” or “hedging” against the tail risk of economic collapse and the ensuing martial law. Ammo is currency when currency is worthless. I’m a hunter and reloaded too so I’ve ensured that I’d never be without ammo for my favorite guns...pretty much forever. .22 LR and 9mm will be like gold coins someday.

What's the last date to "Buy" online? I thought we could buy online till 12/31. If so, then why are vendors like PSA stopping it already?

I made my last investment in ammo today..

1000 5.56 and 1000 9mm plinking stuff..

The next time I buy ammo will be when I escape this wretched state .. lol

Today for many places.. it's not the date you BUY the ammo.. it's the date it ships into the state..

Ammo can't ship into the state to a regular Joe after 12.31 so many sellers are playing it safe.

I have determined that Sacramento is PRO GUN

They pass laws that make us buy more ammo
They pass laws that make us buy more guns

If all guns were cash and carry with no restrictions, we would all own many less than we own now. Same for ammo.

They must love people exercising their 2nd Amendment. They want us to have more.

(The only logical conclusion)

Truth.

Not hoarding, but just ordered my last transaction from SGAmmo for more 357 Mag Hollowpoints. I am older than most, and should have 8 to 10 years of Ammo. All calibers, especially 2lr.

With 357 mag, do you still need hollow points?

Sounds like it was sheer spite !!

[smittty]

Heck ya, I figure I got 30 years worth!

That's 3 boxes of 30-30 hunting ammo. 2 shots per year makes it 30 years worth of ammo!

How many of you guys have 30 years worth of ammo??

Now that you put it that way.....

Some (or most) of us blow our ammo at the range - that's where the majority of our consumption is - not hunting or HD/SD...

[Fishslayer]

I seriously think ammo will be totally restricted and limited in the coming years especially if the liberals have their way.

Be well

Yup... I've been stockpiling lead for a few years now. Powder & primers, too. Just a matter of time, I'm afraid.

At that shooting pace I have enough to last into the next ice age, maybe two of them.

This has caused another problem for me: Where do I store it all?

I've already converted my smaller gun safe to all ammo, the large safe is about 2/3 full of ammo and is crowding out the rifles. I have 2 small Harbor Freight safes full as well. I have the parts to build a couple of more AR's and I'm adding another pistol so I need space. My trap gun sits in the case on top of the safe because I don't have room for it along with ammo that I can't fit in! I saw a large storage cabinet on wheels at Costco for about $280 and I have been looking at metal lockers (72x 36 x 18) to store in.

The end of the ammo supply problem created the ammo storage problem.

I really don't need to hoard as I have an FFL and COE but prices and rebates have caused me to buy. I probably have somewhere between 20K and 30K rounds of pistol and rifle. I haven't seen ammo prices at these levels for many years.
