I stock ammo for .22, 9mm, .45, .223, 30-30, and 44 mag. Let's see how to put this..... I'm comfortable with the amount of ammo I have for each caliber...... Not all of it is at my home, either.......

I mean I can see if maybe one has a couple of 9mm or maybe 3 different .45's then having ammo isnt a big issue. for those who have many diferent calibers, do you concentrate on keeping enough ammo for all of them so in one of the scenarios talked about on here all of the guns are actaully useful?

I agree that stocking ammo for all calibers is a good idea... cause you never know.

I do too agree with this.

I think that the Heller case is going to be a huge asset to us in the fight to totally preserve and even restore our 2A right. I think that over the years you will see more and more states have cases like this. I can only pray that our 2A right will stay forever, shooting has become my number 1 hobby. I hope one day to have a very nice firearm collection one day.

I'd rather learn handloading.

I reload for 4 of the 6 calibers I own, and while it's cheaper than over the counter, it's getting more and more expensive. I s'pose that's true about most everything.

As gun and 2A people we need to be realistic. The recent 2A SOCUS decision was way too close for us to get euphoric. From a constitutional standpoint it should have been 9-0. Take heed. Barack "Reaonable Regulations" Obama will see to it that court appointments will hew to his line where nasty guns are concerned. Never mind his recent BS about being "pro 2A." The slow, inexorable drift to a one-world political reality continues and will only intensify under Obama— and barely slow under McCain. It IS the wave of the future whether we like it or not.

As for ammo, I take the handloading route. I stock enough powder, primers, cases, and bullets to keep me going for a long, long time. For some of my lesser used rifles, for example, I may only have a dozen or so rounds on hand, but thousands and thousands of components ready to go. I think that's the way to go considering the assault on ammunition currently being mounted. (Can't you just hear them? "Well, we can't take away their guns, so let's make it impossible for them to shoot anything out of them!")

and if the finished product is now black market it only stands to reason that the individual ingredients will also be. in that case I would think it would more difficult to get everything you need.....ie..I can get the powder, but the brass is nowhere to be found or the bullets are 3 states away. not sure there is a better side to that coin.

Well, we can keep compounding worst cases 'til we're blue in the face if that's what we like to do. In my own personal situation I'm OK for about the next twenty years.

And while all these draconian regulations are being put in place, what's everybody doing except sitting around with their thumb up their a$$?
