Now that Harbor Freight has best in market ammo cans it's really easy to add cans as my hoard grows

Watch Cabela's for a sale. I bought ten Chinese made 50 cal cans for $100 with free shipping. Gave a few for Christmas presents and filled the rest.
I think that puts me around 40 counting the 30 cal cans also.
I like playing in my ammo fort while sitting on a footlocker full of magazines.

We have plastic storage bins with covers and labels. Have some wood crates. Simplest though is she saves the cardboard boxes reams of paper come in.

Various milsurp and new containers, labeled. Lockable locker cabinets with shelves added, long gun on one side, handgun on other, excess and random bulk on the side shelf with the big cans on floor.

I can sympathize...

...and this is just the downstairs ammo.

Adios,

Another pretty picture. Some may be jealous of the variety of brands, of calibers available or both.

Maybe some just wonder how you get your shelves to bow the opposite way from everyone else’s.
Can you just imagine living in NYC where you’re only allowed to have 200 rounds of ammo.

Can NYC guarantee that there are only 200 criminals at large? What a joke. Just like their magazine capacity limits infer that you will never be attacked by a group where more than 10 shots would be needed. Of course criminals get booked and released immediately without bail.

Whenever you’re out and around in the restrictive states, take a look at how much ammo the cops have on their belt. Where I am in the California Bay Area it looks like 80 rounds (4 mags + one in the gun) of 9mm or .40s&w.
The criminals they have to deal with are the same ones we face, except we have to do it without a gun outside the house and with only 10 rounds in a mag inside. Usually without armed backup.

Last year my brother reminded me I had 1,000rds. of 55gr. 5.56 NATO. Huh? I still don't remember buying it, but he insisted I did, and bought it from him while it was on sale at Gander Mountain for $99.99 a K. It got me to wondering and I did find it a few weeks later in a tote among thousands of empty 5.56 cases ready to reload.

I got too much stuff. I do, I'm old, don't get around like I used to, It's getting harder every year to work up the gumption to even hunt deer anymore. I'm happy to just sit around under some shade in the summer and shoot groundhogs across a field! Decorate the tailgate of the truck with a small grill with hotdogs cooki'n, cooler of beer, some Backwoods smokes, a portable bench and chair... The game warden might not favor that style of hunti'n , but it'd suit me just fine these days.

Back on track here. Every time I straighten things up, I can never find some stuff. last time I lost, (later found, but took me several weeks) a favorite file, a dial caliper, 4-6 hundred rounds of .30-30 brass, and a die grinder. I guess I'm one of those people that the messier and more disorganized it looks-the better!

Hey, when seconds count, the cops are only minutes away...or hours.

To be fair to cops, their profession is not designed to prevent crime but to capture criminals after a crime has been committed and prevent further crime. I’m not saying they’re great at that, but asking them to do the first is illogical. Just because they can’t protect us doesn’t mean we should lie back and let criminals do what they like and wait for them to be punished later.
Isn’t that why we are advocates of 2A rights?

I spent a couple of days last week wondering why someone would break in and steal only my toothbrush. I knew I had searched everywhere, even in the trash I had taken out. Who would want to send little old me a mob-type warning— perhaps they thought I was someone else?
Then I had the bright idea of dropping a second toothbrush and seeing where it went. It bounced (they all have rubber grips these days) and flew under the bathtub, where the missing one was too.

I was just using some dark humor pertaining to NYC and other large cities where the politicians hate to see their voter base killed off by honest citizens who likely vote the other way. Far as I'm concerned, the 3-S rule should pertain, Shoot-Shovel-Shutup.

Man, can I relate to that!

This should end with a sound clip of John Denver singing ‘Thank God I’m a country boy’!

That's why I carry a .45 because a cop's too heavy. Speaking of heavy, moving large amounts of ammo is no fun!
When I lived in NJ,I lived about five miles from Picatinny Arsenal. Every month they would have a surplus auction and one month I bought a pallet of 135 50 cal ammo cans for $1.25 each! I did sell some off to friends but they do weigh a lot when full.

''Joshua, grab a big piece of plastic and a chain saw! Caleb, fire up the back hoe and get a hole ready in the orchard!''🤣

Now, where were we?
