    Question What Is Ammo Hoarding?

    MODS MOVE THIS IF NEEDED...


    I was talking with a buddy of mine from Texas and we started talking about ammo hoarding now-a-days. Especially, the rare golden unicorn, 22 Long Rifle.

    We don't see it as "hoarding" as long as you're shooting what you have and not just sitting on it for years to come. Example: You buy 2 cases (10,000 rounds). You shoot those 2 cases over the next year or more without buying anymore in the meantime. Some people consider that "hoarding" because no one needs that many rounds of ammo.

    With how ammo is right now, what would be considered "hoarding" to all of you PAFOAer's?

    Hoarding is a term created by crybabies to describe those smarter and/or more fortunate than themselves.

    I have a shitload* of ammo I bought last year that I haven't shot and may not any time soon.
    Am I hoarding it? Who gives a fuck? I paid for it - I'll shoot, or not shoot as fucking much, or little as I fucking want.




    *shitload is a relative term. I know there are those with many, many more shitloads of ammo than me. You know what though? I don't care. Good for them! Glad they can do it. "Hoard" away!

    I'm not hoarding ammo, I'm storing it.
    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.

    I couldn't have said it any better. Same people who were whining about "gougers" back during the panic.

    I'd post a picture, but the local firemen would never, ever come near my house.

    I'm not hoarding. It's my retirement plan to resell in 40 years.

    If more people "hoarded" a bit when supplies were plentiful, the shortages wouldn't be so severe.

    It's just like gouging. If YOU get hurt by it, it is a very bad, unethical practice. If YOU benefit from it, well, it just proves how savy a guy you are...

    Very well put EM. You must be an ammosexual too.

    By the way, I'm not a hoarder. I'm a collector.
