Is this the Academy off of 114 and Ira Woods?

You can call them idiots but lots of "idiots" would have had ARs if it would have went though. Hindsight is 20/20 my friend. I know plenty of people that had a good stash of powder and bullets built out. So this emergency of no one being able to get ammo is not affecting them at all.


Just saying, you gotta think of how it would have been if things were different. I already had an AR, so I did not panic looking for one.

That is a great point if you didn't have one, it was a gamble worth taking.

I've got plenty of ammo, but I don't feel like shooting it now. I've plinked a little with the .22's, shot 100 rounds of .380 through my new carry gun, and shot maybe 50 rounds of .45 since sandy hook. Normally I would have shot a couple hundred rounds through just my 1911 handguns, but I've been unable to find any white box that I plink with.

It has opened my eyes a good bit. If/when prices drop and availability increases I will buy a reloader and enough stuff to last me 10+ years. I didn't sweat the ban too much but I still impulse purchased a unneeded ar for $1k. I did trade a 7.62 ar for a older 10/22, moss 500 home defense, 200 rounds of wolf .223, and almost exactly what I had in the ar in cash. The guy I traded owned close to 100 guns, but not a single AR.
