Its funny when you come into a large stash of ammo how your hoarding instinct comes into play.My bud calls and says a friend of his has moved out of country on work and has left a large supply of ammo behind and its free for the taking,I said great I'm on my way over.When I arrived there was a nice large stack of ammo cans and cardboard boxes in his garage marked 223,45,9mm and so on,I new from that point I had to stop myself from airhumping at the joy of free ammo.
While my moist moment was a little short cut I could tell I was going to get cock blocked and walk away with blue ball ammotiasis.My buddy being one of those guys thats loves to stock pile ammo for that SHTF day and me being the kind of guy that loves to burn ammo and train I had the feeling I was SOL on the ammo and I think he might have just wanted to rub it in a little.
I've never been the kind to stock pile ammo and I do have a few rounds put away to outfit the Wife and Kids with guns and gear for the moment the mass exodus of the great zombie attack happens.In my little world how much can you really carry with you on foot, fuel,food and water will be high commodities on the list for sustainment IMO and what you might call your FOB just might no longer be there.
It was a little eye opener for me why sit on a shit metric ton of ammo and not train?Why collect guns for them to only sit in the safe and collect dust?I have friends that over the years have massed nice gun collections and never go to the range,and when they do they just plop down at a bench.And when you say hey we got a Comp going on this weekend you want to come,they will say maybe I'll come and watch...WTF over!!!...I like to live life by the Military term "train like you fight,fight like you train".
I guess there is a seperation in gun owners!!!
