Well, for me that opinion is not showing up at BassPro, with a cart, putting your arm on the shelf and dumping the contents of the shelf into your cart....Is that an exaggeration, YES.... a little bit.
I know most stores are rationing all this stuff and I know the ammo manufacturers are buying up most of it.
But there are also the types out there that think there is going to be war in the streets and they’ll be like, Benjamin Martin, running around.
Issue with that is....the very large majority of the people that think that, the ones with stickers all over their cars, are under the impression that a civil war is going to break out, but they’ll still live their lives as they are. They think they’ll be able to tell their buddy.....Uhhhh, yeah, I can be here tomorrow and Thursday from 5-8 and Saturday, right after my daughters softball game.
And if they think that BLM is going to start roving through neighborhoods, doing home invasions, etc etc etc, they’re believing the wrong person.
I’m not saying that they shouldn’t be prepared for something to happen to them. But having a stockpile of 10-15,000 primers and counting, of various sizes, is a bit ridiculous.
my stock is in long term food storage, antibiotics, liquor,. Its all lighter then ammo and ammo wont save your life if a cut or scrap gets infected. Ill trade you a bandage with triple antibiotic on it for a box of .223, 9mm, 40 cal,
A stockpile of 15k primers?
I shoot that amount annually between LR,SR and SP. I try to keep 3yrs worth on hand. then there’s the “ rainy day” emergency supply.
No hoarding, just turning inventory regularly.
