Ask to share your ammo

[gnystrom]

I am an RSO at a municipal range that does not sell ammo. We welcome our new shooters and spend a lot on one on one help with their new purchases to the point of taking them into the cleaning room and showing them the best field strip and clean.
We are getting first time gun owners that got a box of ammo with their purchase. Most of our staff are reloaders and thanks to a long time customer that before he passed away and left us with a few thousand rounds of 22lr, we can resupply that new shooter with some 22 or our own centerfire ammo. There is a limit to that but we leave it in the hands of the RSO. We have a lot of happy customers.

I have a good friend who called and said he had just bought a new .357 Mag. revolver, but he had no ammo, reloaded or new.
I offered him a box of 50 reloads so he could try it out. He would do the same for me if I needed something.
His Dad was a machinist and my buddy had all his machinist tools and chests. He didn't know what most of them were or how to use them, so he gave everything to me. I offered to pay him, but he declined, so I have no problem helping him out with ammo. We both reload also.

We’re getting into relationships here... I had access to some primers at almost pre-panic prices and made sure my younger brother also got what he needed. My next door neighbor’s oldest son is in college and just starting to shoot, so I texted him about a deal on some ammo for his AK. We have been great “across the fence” neighbors for quite a few years and I’m happy to help him out. Would I do the same for some casual acquaintance? Probably not. jMHO, of course... you need to decide on your own relationships.

You are right. Been on the lookout for some 22lr for a family that lives out in the country in the northern part of Shenandoah Valley. The dad and three boys like to target practice on the place and can’t get ammo in their area. Found some at a NC Walmart yesterday! Looking after friends and family is important during tough times.

Ammo has become a very personal currency in some circles.
I will share a bit with a friend that would return the favor. I'll be a bit more generous with children and grandchildren. My grandson that I have allowed to have a highish round count with a SW22 Victory will find himself on a budget.
