So...how much AMMO is TOO much ammo???

[Outdoorsman87]

Alright fellow ODT junkies. I have a semi serious question.
I know there's a world of opinions out there, just like butt holes, everyone's got one.

How much ammo would you say would be "necessary" for SHTF scenario (doesn't matter which version of SHTF)
I know some may yell "YouR GonnA NeEd 5 billioN MILLION" crap...as stated, semi serious.

Also this is "Stored AMMO" for rainy day, not including fun plinking or deer camp days. This is the untouched virgins kept locked away from anyone's chambers until the perfect time.

I was thinking something like
Bolt guns-300 ea
Semi rifles-1200 ea
Full size pistols-300 ea
Carry pistols-200 ea
Shotguns-500 ea

I'd like to see what some of you have come up with, and reasons why.

None, I keep no ammo or guns in my house, Fed Boi! Nice try!

J/K! Personally i keep two ammo cans of each caliber that I have, except 22s. I keep four ammo cans of those because that's the "eatin" caliber. You can shoot squirrels, rabbits, cats and dogs, anything with meat on it with a 22 and it'll put it in your belly. The bigger rounds are more "protection" rounds except for hog or deer hunting.

I think (I forget) I've got 8 different calibers of guns right now. And that's a ton of space needed to store ammo. I don't think I'd go any more than that for the sheer space it'd take up in my house.

Buy low keep forever. No such thing as too much ammo.

You should have about as much as you can carry is what I have been taught.

That assumes you're going somewhere, though.

I have ammo that I may need one day but I also view it as currency in a real SHTF situation.

I stopped reading at SHTF

The only times you can have too much ammo are when you’re trying not to drown and when you’re on fire.

Buy as much as you can but do so knowing you may have to abandon it.
