I don't consider it hoarding until you are buying more than you can use in the foreseeable future.  I can't find what I need to shoot tomorrow :'(  Hell ... I've got a secret ... no telling tt, and I can't play with it  :'(
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

I'm not hoarding, I'm actually picking up the good stuff for fellow employees.  One of my local dealers somehow got Fed HST .45 and 9mm in recently.  He's a good guy and saved it for the people involved in law enforcement and security who have to supply their own ammo.  Didn't gouge the price, either. $28 box of fifty in .45.

And my wife - who is not usually interested in all things firearms - told me in no uncertain terms to go to the gun show April 4-5 to see if I can get any deals. Seems Obama and his lackeys (or is he their lackey?) have this effect on people...
Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

The guy in the Tulsa World article who said people were hoarding is a place where I refuse to spend my money in Tulsa.  I sometimes swing by Dong's, but mostly spend my $$$'s Lash's Gun Emporium and some at OPS.

Enough said.

Wife called while I was out shopping today.  "I'm in Walmart, they have 500 rounds of 9MM for $49, thought I'd grab a box"  Her reply?  "At that rate get more than one."


Sounds like Marshal and me. He is making an order for primers etc..and I tell him to double it. He said, " well, they are ---$ of dollars."
I say," good. Whatever they are..... double the order.. 
They don't go bad and we WILL use them. " 

I don't look at it as hoarding. I look at it as being smart and prepared.

Marshal'ette, where the hell are you ordering primers from?  No one has them around here!  I was able to get 5000sp when Michael mentioned Natchez but that's it.

It's great when the kids are grown and the little woman tells me to go play...she told me to order another revolver today, if I want too...what ya'll think?

Absolutely, twyacht!  And if you need suggestions on which revolver to get and where to send it, just let me know...  ;D

I'm not hoarding.  I don't have more than a couple of thousand rounds of any one caliber.   ;)
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!
