Have any of you started stocking up on stuff for the up comming election?

I love reading all the spending you are doing and all the gloom and doom. Most of the pack rats on this sight are over 55-years-old which means in another 20 years, I'll be attending all kinds of estate sales and garage sales buying ammo, guns and all sorts of goodies for pennies on the dollar from your estates. Brand new still in the package. What a deal.

A friend of mine just purchased such a collection. This old joker croaked and had 1.8 MILLION rounds of rifle ammo and a gun collection that would out do most of the gun shops in the US. It seems he was absolutely sure he would need this ammo "someday". Instead, he's looking down seeing someone else buy his hoard for pennies on the dollar and making a bundle.

Nice sentiment. So glade you shared/gloated about this with the entire class.
I have young men in line to get everything (what ever is left) when I pass................My money. I will spend it as I wish.

Remington 512 followed the same day by a Remington 870 12 ga. I was 8 years old at the time. Both guns were Dad's and they reside to this day in my safe. Soon to be the property of my son.

It seems to me that your fathers guns that will be handed down to your son are way more important to you than you think us "Old Jokers" guns mean to us.

You just made the do NOT EVER deal with list with me and I'm sure there are a lot more "Old Jokers" that feel the same.

Like Kirk says, "magazines and lowers, my friends"...

Yeah, I got 'em. And I'm getting more (among other things).

There are no guarantees of tomorrow.
You have given me one more reason to live forever as I don't want you or your ilk to ever have your fingers on my gear. I'll adopt a deserving young person from INGO with a good rep and leave all of it to them.

I'm not over 55 and it's not doom and gloom that drives me. The shortage of about everything over the last seven years have taught me a lesson. If I don't want to ration the things that make my hobby a reality, put back a little for when things get tight. I find it a bit morbid to wait for someone to die just so I can score. I've know a few youngsters whose lives were cut short early so don't think it couldn't happen to you.

 

[HamYankee]

I have not stockpiled anything extra Post-Obama/Pre-Hillary/Biden, etc.
I try to buy extras when I can, when I have the money, regardless of political winds.

He made my list on many levels.
Not that it means anything but yeah.........

If I ever hear my sons/SIL speak in this fashion they will get an ear full of me.

Feel this way if you wish but keep it to yourself please.

 

[actaeon277]

Not really into the end of the world stuff. I have a small amount of 9mm and .357magnum and I don't own a modern rifle. I have a 50 cal bp rifle. If the end is near I am screwed. If it is 10 years away I got time to stock up. Hope my way of thinking works for me, time will tell.

Everyone's collection started off small.

 

[ACC]

9 new stripped lowers this week. And a bit of ammo too.

You might make another twenty years, if you grow up. I'll stock up a little tiny bit more with you in mind.

Don't worry so much about it, you should look on the brighter side. Someday you'll be able to get out of that minimum wage job and start making enough money so you can shop at real gun stores and you won't have to rely on things like estate sales and flea markets for your guns and ammo.

If you keep your nose to the grindstone and stay positive, good things will happen in your life, and you won't be so jealous of others who have the things that you wish you could have.

Don't feed the trolls

Folks, please don't feed the trolls. When I have time, I come to the forums, because no matter how much I think I know, the group will know more. As repayment, I try to contribute when I can. When someone asks about stocking up, that means many things to many people. I don't buy ammo competitively. If you got a better deal than me, good for you. I buy what I think I need for the season for my wife and I to shoot whatever we want whenever we want. Am I buying right now? You betcha. Am I buying a little more than I normally would? Yes. At times it isn't so much price as it is availability. I don't want to be caught without ammo for a particular gun that I or my wife might want to shoot. My son is a vet too, what if he comes by and wants to go to the range? So to the OP: Am I buying more than I normally would? Yeah I guess I am. Is it because I think there might be shortages? Yes. I think there will be an ebb and flow. I don't think ammo manufacturers will stop making ammo so it will eventually be available, just at higher prices of course. Am I gonna buy 10k rounds of everything now? No. I'm going to buy targets, cleaning supplies, upgraded sights, Macallan 12 year, Montecristo White Label, and many other things that help me enjoy my freedom. If someone wants to buy 50k rounds of multiple flavors, their money their business. If someone can't afford 50 rounds of anything and wants to insult and gripe at as many people as possible, have at it. Ill be at the range with friends enjoying a smoke and adult beverage after a fun day of shooting.

 

[AmmoManAaron]

The next issue I'm studying ammunition-wise is the regulations OSHA are bruiting around.

More info here and discussion here:

OSHA is going after ammo manufacturers | The View From North Central Idaho

But I'm hoping to get some better intel soon.

 

[HamYankee]

If I plan to shoot 100 rounds, I try to buy 150-200 rounds. That is how I've been able to get a few ammo cans full, starting from scratch. Do it with each caliber and soon you'll have a shortage of ammo cans.

Dear uncle Harry,

I am fine. I hope this message finds you well. Let's go shooting sometime soon. Well, gotta go, have a long and happy life.

Your loving nephew Tom
