So now for those who do not care to share this info, I totally understand.

Having a debate with an old anti-gun friend who thinks I am insane because I have over 1,000 round (varying calibers) in the home. To me, that is just a good start considering I have S&W 40, 22lr,.223, .308, 12 and 20 gauge to feed.

Anyone here care to share your totals? I wanted to post this on a board not dedicated to guns to show a little impartiality.

I have 3 guns - 12 gauge, .32 Special and a 9mm... I think I have like 200 rounds total? Then again, I don't shoot much.

Not counting .22 rounds (I have like 1,000 of them), I only have maybe 200 for my shotgun and pistols.

I've got roughly 250 rounds locked up at home for my pistol. I don't shoot that often. Most of those are in a box sitting on a shelf. I've got three magazines that are loaded and locked away in my safe with the pistol.

A good friend of mine is a serious gun nut though.  He's got thousands of rounds of different types in his house.  I mean he's a serious firearms guy though.  He's probably got a couple hundred different weapons stored at home.

Last time I checked:

~450 9mm
~500 .22lr
~1500 .22WMR (received after friend's father died)
~250 12g
100 20g (purchased by accident, in a hurry)
200 45ACP
~50 .40
~60 30-06
~100 30-30
~50 .223

Sounds about right.  Tell your anti-gun friend that you are not alone.   ;)

;D
The scale never lies, but yours might be broken.

He's not quite Nugent, but he's gotta be really close.  The best part, this guy isn't even a hunter.  He just likes guns....a lot.

    It's really not about catching fish at all.

A quick scan of my ammo cans shows...

2700 .22LR
250 .38 special
900 9mm
1500-2000 .223/5.56 (I'm not gonna count them all)
100 12ga.

Plus...
1 pack each 1/4 oz and 3/8 oz slingshot ammo and ~8000 .177 BB's ;)



I've been steadily trimming down the "collection" and consolidating calibers for the past several years so the ammo cans aren't as full as they used to be since I unloaded the .40 and .45 ammo.

Right now I'm stocking up on ammo and eyeballing a new varmint gun...so I may wind up adding another caliber to the mix. The .17HMR does nasty things to little furry creatures. ;D

ok, I know yall are gonna think I'm crazy, but I have around 6250 rds for 12 ga shotgun and 9+1 in my pistol!  Other than that, I probably dont have any other ammo in my house!

.22~ 450
.243~20
7MM~60
9MM~120
12 ga.~200
.44 mag~40

I thought about stock piling, but then I don't go and shoot much.  That money is better spent getting to and from the lake.

A guy I work with will buy a gun about every other month it seems.  He probably has 100 total, and at least a 1000 rounds (and counting) for each caliber...  Its crazy...
