We have 3 center fire rifles, including a Mini 14; two rimfire rifles including a 10/22; and 3 12 gauge 870s, two of which are set up for pure combat. We keep 300 rounds of 12 gauge OO buck, slugs and birdshot; 1,800 rounds of M193 and M855 5.56mm ball, 800 rounds of .308 ball and soft point and 4,000 rounds of .22LR solid and HP high-velocity ammunition. We also have a GAMO .177 air rifle and a Daisy 25 pump action BB gun. Our relatively small gun safe is completely full. No room for any more. We have FID and my wife's resident alien rifle/shotgun permit. We have all we need for hunting, home defense and target shooting.you have 1,2, guns whatever!!.Whats the bare min no of rounds you feel you need to make you feel safe, AND no silly answers like 100k or 10,000 etc. Take into account nov 4 and the current lack of ammo and NO i'am not paying $700 for 500 9mm. I'am thinking this is going through a lot of guy's heads right now
Speaking of which, what is the max that you (or others) would pay for say, a case of good quality name brand brass 9mm?you have 1,2, guns whatever!!.Whats the bare min no of rounds you feel you need to make you feel safe, AND no silly answers like 100k or 10,000 etc. Take into account nov 4 and the current lack of ammo and NO i'am not paying $700 for 500 9mm.

This is interesting. I did not know that.Sure, if you plan on becoming a cannibal.
During the depression, lots of places around the country were completely hunted out.
Yep, with a third as many people as today...During the depression, lots of places around the country were completely hunted out.
The 1930 U.S. Census determined the U.S. population to be 122,775,046.
You know things are scarce when you have a way better inventory of guns and ammo at home, than your local Cabellas has on the shelf.
But I think that if there ever comes a day when you need more than 1000 rounds, there will likely be plenty of spare guns and ammo laying on the ground.
More of them had guns and a rural hunting upbringing. Plus there were less deer in a lot of places.Yep, with a third as many people as today...

The stupid kind.No offense, but what the f*** kind of question is that?
If only 10% of the US decided to go out and hunt, that is around 30M people. A single person requires a lot of food per day. An active person (hunter) will require more. There aren't enough wild animals.More of them had guns and a rural hunting upbringing. Plus there were less deer in a lot of places.
Inguinal hernias are no fun. There’s only so much intestine that can fit in your nut sack.less than 50 pounds each to be kind to my senior groin.
When the shelves start sagging under the weight of all the cases of ammo, I actually start feeling a little unsafe.
Spread out over the entire country I don't think it will be a problem most places. All these little 20 acre conservation land swamps in MA are full of food.If only 10% of the US decided to go out and hunt, that is around 30M people. A single person requires a lot of food per day.
