Before hurricane Katrina, I went after work to the local walmart. I don't usually buy as much ammo as you all do (I'm monitarily challenged at the moment), so I haven't really recieved as much of "the look" as has been described. However this time was different, and hilarious. I purchased 50 one oz slugs and the same of 00 buck (12 gauge). The walmart girl was nanchalent, but I had this guy behind me who asked goin huntin' this weekend? Mind you, this was a few days before it was supposed to hit (on the weekend), so I was thinkin....right....huntin during a hurricane.....OK....I just said "no." The look on that guy's face was utter shock. He stood there looking at me as I put the bags of shells in my cart and moved on, completely dumbfounded. I thought it was a smart move on my part, for two reasons.
1. You can never have enough excuses to buy ammo (get the purchase past the wife)
2. Might be nice to have if anything did happen.
When I get my ar finished, I'm going to be stockpiling ammo for that. Want at least 1k avaliable. That reminds me, I need to go shooting.
