It's only hoarding when someone else does it, if I do it it is just called "being prepared."

I dunno where the line is drawn in the sand.
When others have to go without so you get to add to your collection? That's about it. |

When you can't move around your house because it's filled with gun shit. That might be "hoarding."
But that's a lot of gun stuff. I plan on having an entire room dedicated to firearms and firearm accessories. |

I would imagine it's hoarding when you start neglecting other facets of your life. Can't afford food for the kids but you have 300 pmags. Most people put the hoarder label on someone else cause they aren't disciplined enough to build up their own stash and act like jealous bitches.
I've had people accuse me of helping drive up .22LR shortage cause I have 10k+ rounds. Well excuse the fuck out of me, I bought those long before any panic for 8.95 a brick, so kiss my ass crybaby.

It's only hoarding when the stupid people who don't stock up start bitching about how much X costs vs. what it used to cost and somebody says, "Gee then you should have bought it sooner"....Then the broke ass whiny bitches start with the "gouging and hoarding" crap......

I think getting a case of .22 was prudent if you can afford it so you don't have to sight in from brand to brand, especially if you find what your guns like.
Once I decided to consolidate my magazines into bins for each type I found AK mags get quite heavy. That's from buying a few here and a few there through the years, mostly pre '94. And my shooting buddies that used to buy .22 as needed expected for me to sell them some, probably at the $7.99 sticker price on some of 'em. They were assuming it would always be available and I can understand that thinking the same thing myself. Hedging my bets, I always bought a little more than I needed ammo wise...one box to shoot and one to put away and it added up. I guess I'm a border line hoarder. |

I would just rather have a good stock than depend on the store to have it when the panic buying after Hillary wins in 2016. And magazines? For those of us who lived under the 10 round assault weapons ban, it can be nice to have a few spares around, can even sell them if need be if a new AWB passes. $100 p-mags could be coming sooner than you think. If Hillary wins, she will regain the Senate and possibly the House. |

Ever buy a thousand rounds of ammo in a caliber that you don't have a gun to fire it in?
Ever buy a tripod, periscope optic, and light kit for a gun you don't own just so you'll have an excuse eventually?

I never thought there's anything wrong with hoarding. Can't tell people what to do with their own stuff. At some point it seems a bit counter productive. They buy up bunches of whatever because it may be totally unavailable at some point but if they never use it for fear of not being able to replenish it it's pretty much the same as being unavailable. They just have the job of obtaining every bit they can.

With AR mags, I always leave my zombie/duty ammo loaded up and ready to go. Why would you unload and load your mags for range practice all the time?

presuming you're not infringing on other citizens, there's no such thing as too much freedom...and to me, guns/ammo/mags etc are one physical manifestation of it. Free people own these things, slaves & the oppressed don't. If you want 50,000 pmags, and you have the $, go for it my friends.
All that said, for me personally, if the gun is non-SHTF-related, I usually have less than 10 mags for it. I have a Tikka T3...the mags cost like $50 each. It's a bolt gun. I'm not gonna invest $500+ in mags because rapid mag changes really aren't a necessity for that type of weapon. My 10/22 is the same way. I have a handful of BX25s and call it good. AR mags, on the other hand are SHTF-related and I have several guns that use them, so I probably have 30-40 of those and I wouldn't mind having more. Filling mags while you're getting shot at isn't my idea of a good time. The only way you could have to many SHTF mags is if you don't have enough ammo to fill them all. If you've got just 500 rounds of 556 but you have 100 pmags, you're free to do that, it just isn't wise.

Heaps and piles of old news papers. A barn full of broken, rusting lawn mowers. My grandpa was a hoarder, at least partially. He came through the depression and I think that mindset of not throwing anything away was resultant from that. If a person has stacks and stacks of valuable, useful stuff, they are a collector or just someone who sees that they will have a good possibility of using those items for something in the future. I'm the latter,
