I have about 700 rounds of .22, 300 rounds of 9mm, 200 rounds of .223 (which I do not have a gun for), And several boxes of shotgun shells. So how much ammo is enough?

How many stripped lowers are enough to have? (Which I sold right before the price explosion)

I forgot to ask about mags.

You can never have enough ammo. And if your only weapons are .22lr, 9mm and 12ga, then you are toast when the SHTF.

I disagree also. Nothing wrong with this. Have some slugs for the 12 gauge and it will be just fine.

Only thing he ought to add, IMHO, is a decent rifle. A .30 caliber carbine or Mini-14 would be a cost effective choice. Even a lever action 30-30, or a pump or semi auto hunting rifle would fill in the gap.

At current ammo prices, you could retire. ;-)

And you all ***** about hoarding lmao!!!!!!

In the tens of thousands for AR, 5-6k pistols, less than 1k for the benchrest/f-class guns, enough powder/primers/bullets to reload twice, and 6 10k cases of .22lr... All bought days after Aurora when the lefties were still declaring POTUS a 2A friend and calling me paranoid...

Seeing prices, I almost thought about busting open a case of pmags to pay for it all... But that would be against my prepper nature
