Limit Ammo?

What else?

Limit sq feet in house per person.

Limit food.

Limit travel distances.

Limit money in general.

Limit one & you will get limits on all & more.

I think it's whatever your home builder's limit is calculated to be in pounds per square foot on a pre-tensioned concrete slab foundation.

After all, you don't want to crack the slab.

If your home has a crawlspace foundation, perhaps the ammunition stockpile weight is only limited by the actual volume that you can stack ammo crates underneath the house on dry earth. I dunno, because I live pretty far from homes that have crawlspaces and basements. That's the East Coast, mostly.

For a renter of an multi-story apartment, check your rental agreement for how much weight you're allowed per square foot, otherwise you're going to have to use off-site storage.

I hope I've answered everyone's questions.

These are masculine doilies. Camo. I chew them off the living flanks of my prey with my teeth.

How are you going to carry all of that? You must be lucky enough to be able to bug-in. I have just what I can carry for all primary and secondaries for the fam and myself. We live near Detroit, so bugging-in probably won't be an option. I'm going to have to travel light and fast.

There is a lake wind advisory up to day for Tahoe. All fully laden canoes should not venture in to the lake.

Conservative: more ammo is better, filler up

Heh, nice try.

Don’t ever say doilies.

Call them Armrest Preservers :-)

You do get a +1 for Camo, which goes with EVERYTHING.

“Arms” means firearms. A gun without bullets is a paperweight, not a firearm.

Those who pretend to respect the Second Amendment, while trying to grab ammo or choke off the supply, are just gun-grabbers. Ultimately, the CONSTITUTIONALLY-APPROVED refutation of their position is a bullet to the head.

The question on limiting ammunition strikes me as weird, though I’m sure gun-control loons would like to see that at 0 but might concede to 1 round under pressure.

Ahh, back to the good old days of Mayberry.

What always kills me is when the media sensationalizes a report, saying that some person: “Was found to have 10,000 rounds of ammunition in their home!!!”. Your typical ‘low information’ citizen hears that and thinks they were some dangerous psychopath, the media acts as if they are some kind of dangerous militia member or something, and dumb politicians jump all over it as a reason to make laws restricting or controlling this or that.

I just moved into a new home and I wouldn't let the movers touch anything firearms related. Instead I did moved those items myself. With the climate of things in our nation, particularly PA given the Eric Frein manhunt, I wasn't exactly comfortable driving with all my ammo, reloading equipment and supplies. I couldn't help imagine what could happen if I was pulled over by the authorities while in transit. I had the back end of my Ford Explorer loaded with primers, shell cases, bullets, powder, scales (only to be misconstrued as drug paraphernalia), and reloading presses. That is not to mention actual ammo. I did not transport firearms in the same trip (not enough room).

This, to me, is not a lot of ammo/firearm related supplies. It is adequate for my needs at the moment, but I actually would like to reload in several more calibers. To make it economical, i.e., save money, I would buy even more powder, bullets and primers in bulk. Shell cases, I'd pick from the range. This seems rational to me.

To the low information types and almost everyone in the media, it seems extreme. Geez, two bricks of .22 lr sounds like a lot to them. Their uneducated perspectives are not appreciated. Unfortunately, I did worry about transporting perfectly legal items given these low information and para-militia police types. That shouldn't be the case in our country. It shows the amount of tyranny that actually exists.

What do you shoot that has camo hide? You sure it’s not mange? They can look similar.

If so, I’d gargle if I were you.

Should there be a limit to the number of words a commie-lib “journalist” gets to utter or write under the 1st ammendment?

Three is about right - a subject, verb and predicate. Most of their readers can’t get past that anyway.

"I wasn't exactly comfortable driving with all my ammo, reloading equipment and supplies. I couldn't help imagine what could happen if I was pulled over by the authorities while in transit."

Ohh... The last time we moved, I had all of my guns and ammo loaded into my Expedition(fully loaded). I was pulled over for no reason at all. The cop claimed that I was "weaving"(I believe the dude working at the gas station I stopped at called the cops on me). When asked for my license/registration, I told the cop that I had firearms and ammo in the car because I was in the process of moving. The next thing I know, I'm staring down the barrel of a Glock 17 aimed at my face, and he was yelling at me to get out of the car.

The bastard put me up against the car and searched me, he called for "backup", and they proceeded to remove all of my guns from the car, and ran the numbers on all of them. It was a little eerie that my name was associated with all of them. After determining that none were stolen, he said that he thought he "smelled" alcohol on me. I then passed a field sobriety test, and he gave me a breathalyzer anyway. I blew a 0.0. He THEN let me go...... I've had a VERY negative view of the police ever since.(that wasn't the first time I've been subjected to bullshit like that)

I hope one day I see that fat bastard pinned down by some gang bangers or something, needing my help... I'll just let them eat him for dinner....

Is the religion of peaces propensity for violence finite?

Then neither should the ammunition store of an American be...
