Just returned from a trip to my local Walmart. One 50rd. box of Winchester 9mm target ammo is all they had left. I’ve got what I need (I hope) to tide me over for now, so I left it there thinking some poor newbie with a brand new Glock but no ammo will need it more than me. Then, I proceeded to the range where I encountered many new faces. Mostly fathers and daughters. In some cases, both were learning new skills toghether. To do that, you need ammo. I welcome new shooters to the community. So should you all. Lots of young women out there with newly acquired snubbies who’ll need that ammo for protection if things break bad. If you’re already sitting on several hundred rounds, lighten up and leave something for the new folks. Kinda’ like casting bread upon the water. Some dreary Saturday morning you may come running into that store desperately looking for one...just one 25rd. box of Hornady TAP, or anything ‘cause you’ve got nothing, and find someone left one on the shelf for you. Think about it.

I generally agree with that, just so it doesn't get left there for the brown shirts to confiscate.
