200.
That’s yuuge.
I have 200 rounds in my desk.
hmmm.....
Just enough for a trip to the range.
....which he seems never to have visited.
200? Piker.
Thank God he kept them in storage instead of using half of them to practice. 200 rounds sound like a couple of hours of fun from the back porch!
That’s a couple of boxes. Most shooters I know (and probably most on this board) buy more than that when they know they are going to the range the next day.
200 rounds? Apparently he wasn’t planning anything protracted.
That’s a bit heavy when its all in multiple magazine bandoleers on your person. Is that the implied alarm?
200 rounds huh? Well isn’t that special?
(I have 144 rounds in my pickup and 12 more when I climb in.)
Same here - 200 is considered a *basic* load, one fight, for my FAL rifle. :P
Gotta love the media trying to blow it out of realistic proportions.
Has anyone heard what the make/model and caliber of the rifle was?
That’s my sole remaining interest other than the well-being of those shot.
The amount of ammo is immaterial.
His actions are what is important.
Allegedly an SKS.
Completely irrelevant.
I have several hundred rounds in my truck. I have 28 in my POCKETS right now.
It is NOT illegal to own lots of ammunition.
It is ATTEMPTED MURDER that is illegal, and it is a DEMOCRAT operative that attempted to murder REPUBLICANS.
Stop focusing on the weapons and start focusing on PEOPLE.
Rifle ammo is most commonly packaged 20 rounds to a box. Pistol ammo is most commonly packaged 50 to a box. .22LR ammo is most commonly packaged 50 to a box, or 500 to a ‘brick.’
10 boxes of rifle ammunition, 4 boxes of pistol ammunition, 2 ‘bricks’ of .22LR, or a combination thereof.
Wow, panic time.
“..........leftist gunman James Hodgkinson had more than 200 rounds of ammunition at a local storage unit....”
Sounds like someone is trying to make something bigger a deal than it is with the storage locker language. Two hundred rounds would account for ten little tiny boxes of 7.62 X 39 ammo.
I can keep that, and more in a little shoebox. (320 rds.)
2 bricks of .22?!? That’s 1,000 rounds. Brain freeze.
Sounds like he was planning on completing his list of people he wanted to kill.
“Allegedly an SKS.”
No wonder he couldn’t hit well.
