Well, after these incidents in the news, and they say the assailants had about 500 rounds in their arsenal, I look over hoping my wife has no idea how much ammo I have.

The media's idea of an arsenal is less that what I have in front of me cleaning while I wait for the ball to drop at midnight. They really have no clue what is out there, the numbers are just too high for them to wrap their brain around how much that really is.Lee-online wrote:... I remember a news report when a guy was arrested at his home and they found an "arsenal", it was like 5 rifles and 9 boxes of ammo.
Why does it all have to fit on a boat? planning a midnight run for it using a boat? Simple solution, get a bigger boat .[/quote]Miller Tyme wrote:Junk Yard Dog wrote:Your down to 10,000?

+1, got close to 10,000 rounds in my stash, the key is to stack it high and deep when it's cheap.
Nope, collect more than I shoot anymore, that ought to last me 4-5 years, at which time most of my collection will probably be sold off since it wont all fit on the boat.
If you want it, buy it. I would not wait.cleanneon98 wrote:So my one crate is looking to be not enough. Considering getting 4 more crates or so.

Well, at the moment there is none to buy. I am just trying to figure out what's causing the price jump. Is it future legislation? Present laws? lack of supply?BubbaDX wrote:If you want it, buy it.

Depending on the cause, we can see the ammo drop back down to a reasonable price. I remember after Sandy Hook, 22lr was nowhere to be found and when it was available, was INSANELY expensive. It eventually leveled back out. Of course, we are talking about current production ammo, not surplus which is what's there is there.

What about the hurricanes down there? I knew a guy who sold his nightclub, retired to a large boat and ended up beached on the US virgin islands after a hurricane destroyed his million dollar boat. that was in the late 60's, back to work he went ( he found out he was vastly underinsured) . Big class A RV, that way you could drive your home away from the hurricanes when they come, some of the new huge class a pushers are more luxurious than a five star hotel .[/quote]Junk Yard Dog wrote:Miller Tyme wrote:quote="Junk Yard Dog"]Why does it all have to fit on a boat? planning a midnight run for it using a boat?

No, the plan right now is to sell the house and head south and live on the boat. I figure I can keep about a dozen of the real gems and sell the rest, besides if I wanted to keep more I would have to reduce the size of the Liquor Locker.
And that sir will never happen.
