Just a play on a similar thread about firearms. In this case ammo. I have some crates of ammo on the way that have been on backorder for several months. I figure might as well be well supplied with ammo given all the uncertainties of supply. Fortunately I live in states where it is quite common to have a few guns and a bit of ammo on hand, unlike those who live in the "occupied territories" (liberal cesspools). As a hard asset investment ammo has been especially good.

Gots to feed the kids - in this case ammo for the hobby.

Ammo at BOL-1 Bunker:

Will need to get photos of ammo at BOL-4 and BOL-5 later. Of course much more is cached and stashed on multiple locations. Ammo has been a good investment as well. I still have cases of 7.62x39 I bought before Y2K for $70/case. I spend a bit of time in the field and at the range fine tuning my firearms and trying to improve my skills. We don't worry about ammo shortages obviously. Guess that's why they call it "prepping".

This beats Ares' Bitcoin collection, imo.

I would like to order some 22LR and 9mm. I have been abstaining from practice ever since the ammo shortage. Is ammo now available? I have simply been too busy to check it out. Where is a good place to order it from?

9mm has been available, but CCI Mini-Mags, or Velocitors are another story. Some are available, but a $20 a box of 100

I'm able to find 9mm, but not 22LR.

No such thing unless your stockpile catches fire, then run like hell! ;)

Is it such a smart thing to display it on the Internet though?

If you are swimming a creek there is a quantity of ammo mathematically related to your buoyancy above which proves fatal.

If your scuba diving then it's a different qty with a potential for delayed fatality influences.

On dry land if you are hampered in protecting yourself against attackers, by the risk of hitting the ammo storage, you may be at a disadvantage...

Well that is ok if you're on top sucking bottoms while truth lies with hairless monkeys!
