All is not lost. You have some options:

1- Get a job at Walmart. Their employees seem to buy the ammo right off the skid.

2 – Apologize to Cyphertext and hope he takes pity on you.

3 – Send me a PM. I have 47,005 rounds of rimfire and am happy to share. Figure…3 times what I paid, plus shipping. I have to charge that, so I don’t find my future self typing inflammatory posts on a forum of people, with whom I presumably share a passion, where I tell them what idiots they are for being smarter, or perhaps just luckier, than I am.

Full disclosure: I was lucky. I decided literally months before Sandy that I should stock up on various ammo, as my family was getting very interested in shooting and my wife more nervous about the political climate. CCI was rumored to be increasing their prices, so I bought by the case. I wish I could invest in stocks with such savvy. My friends and fellow shooters know they can go shooting anytime. The same friends and fellow shooters who would help protect my sanctuary, as you put it.
