One of the un-intended (intended?) consequences of the ammo shortage created by_______ (you fill in the blanks), is that new CPL applicants don't have ammo to use in their classes and to qualify with.

Do you have Ammo for a Gun you no longer shoot or even have? I did. Sold off my 3rd. Gen Smith .40 a few years back, but I had a Fat 50 can full of Ammo "for the next .40 S+W." But I never bought one, focusing on 9mm and .357 instead for the pistols I do Bubblehead Les.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00730873284089958084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-49031742817183303682013-03-20T17:53:55.786-06:002013-03-20T17:53:55.786-06:00Well, I took your advice (it was also the advice o...Well, I took your advice (it was also the advice of several others, including that little voice in my head) and stocked up not only on ammo, but on certain guns as well. I guess that makes me a (happy) panicked hoarder. I can still go to the range and shoot when others are sitting at home complaining.

It just sucks to not be able to practice and enjoy our hobby. I've actually even been selling off some of my recreational stock to friends who are new gun owners or who didn't prepare prior to now.

Even my antigun co-worker bought one.
