Ask to share your ammo

I've sold some junk wolf steel case that I got in local auction lots for a healthy profit. My chambers mean too much to me to subject them to that ****!
Buyers were exuberant to get it at all! I sold it for double what I paid and half the going rate!
I've also sold a few hundred rounds of quality stuff I had more than 1K stash of to fellow SWCA members who asked.
Through luck and skill, I scored more rounds of a few calibers than I'm likely to ever need, especially since I can reload for them. (yes, I have plenty primers, cases, powder, various lead alloys and molds for when times get tough!) Only thing I lack is time. :-(

And more on topic.....my formally liberal little sister who lost her startup business due to socialism and 'Covid' (who lives in Denver) asked me for a 'defensive item' several weeks ago because there were literally riots on her street. Blew me away!
I had my dealer send her a police trade-in 64 HB I didn't need and I UPS'd her a couple boxes of feed.
 
During the great ammo dearth of 2009 I supplied a box or two of .22 LR each to my son, brother and the neighbor who keeps red squirrels from overrunning my mother's place. That's about as far as I go. I have traded factory ammo in calibers I no longer shoot for the same in those I do.
 
Brother-in-law shot all of his 380 practicing with his Ruger LCP then realized it was unobtainium. Cousin has some, and I have some 9mm Luger of a brand that ain't accurate in my G43; so an equal trade, with b.i.l being the beneficiary. I told him why practice with an LCP ... got a trigger pull like pulling a log out of the brush.
 
I've been doing without useless **** so I could buy guns, reloading components & ammo. I have never paid high prices for anything & bought in bulk. I started buying when Bush was elected. Way I see it everyone had the same opportunity as I had. All I can say is people that have no ammo should have bought when it was cheap.

Factory ammo OR handloaded reloads ???

My handloaded reloads are for me ONLY, liability consequences.

Factory ammo, I have plenty from accumulating, I've been selling off (but not all of it). I've been selling out the car trunk in the parking lot at a local store as their store has zero stock. The price is profitable for me and less for them had they bought at the elevated store prices, win for me and win for them.

Interesting... a local guy here started doing that and got banned from the property along with a trespassing summons and a summons for no business license.
 
I have enough ammo, but not a ton to spare. At the beginning of the panic, and a little later into the protest movements, I had friends who were scared and couldn't find ammo for love nor money. I helped them out when I had the chance, because they're friends of mine and sitting as a dragon upon a pile of ammo doesn't help me at all.
 
Sold 450rds of 7.62x25 for 400 a few days ago. Made 4 times what I paid 6mo ago. Got enough brass to feed my cz52 already so no need for it to sit. Plus if you didn't learn after Sandy Hook to buy cheap and stack deep you've got to pay the market price.

Have one co worker ask every few months if I'm selling any guns and it's always a no. Usually also get the question about selling my reloads and of course that's a no.
 
At the start of the lockdown I asked my younger gun owning friends (who all have the NJ card and who have all demonstrated to me their commitment to safe and lawful gun ownership) if they needed a box of .38 Special, .357 Magnum. .40 S&W., 5.56 NATO, or 12 gauge 00 Buck or Slugs. Made me feel real good to help out some younger folks who had enough to worry about just taking care of their families.

A friend at work was expressing concern that he missed the boat on a reasonably priced AR15, mags and ammo.
I offerered him a really nice setup at the same price I paid for it years ago when prices were low.
He acted like I was trying to rip him off, and wanted me to lower my price.
So it went back in the safe.

Some folks are jerks..........

Sold a good friend a 915 just before Y2K ...he had a shotgun but didn't own a handgun........ for what I paid for it threw in a extra mag and 50 rds. of HP.....told him what I had in the gun...... he rounded it up to next $100...."You're the one doing me a favor!"

I had 3 other 915s...... couple months later ...... after the "big nothing" happened turned it all into mags and ammo.
 
Most of the people I know have WAY more money than I do, so they can certainly afford the inflated prices. So if it's just a case of high prices (instead of not being able to find it), they need to be buying their own. That said, if we're shooting together, I'll often provide the ammo if they don't have it. That's like me covering lunch. I enjoy mine, and I enjoy sharing, so no problem.

Wonder how good they are at cracking safes? :)

They don’t have to be very good. Someone around here has been breaking into gun safes during the day when no one is home.
They use a hand held grinder with a cutting disc to open up the safe and pull stuff out of the hole. Takes about 15 minutes.
 
For about $60 you can buy 3 surveillance cameras and set them up at your house in strategic locations. The motion activity from the cameras sends an alert immediately to your phone and allows you to see what triggered the motion camera, works great. If you see someone in your house call 911 right away. The time from the detected motion by the camera to the alert on your cell phone is literally seconds.
