Ammo limit > General Firearm Discussion

I'm sure this has been done but I couldn't find anything in the archives so...

Is there a (legal) limit on how much ammo one may keep on hand?

Posted: 4/26/2002 7:09:53 PM EDT

[#1]

If there is i will buy enough to go just over the limit.

just as a matter of principle

That's why I'm asking. If there's a limit, I'm sure I'm over it, I'd just like to know how far over.

Not that I am aware of.

Never heard of one.

I'm not sure if i trust you.

with all that ammo, and a name like "canthitshit", i don't want to be your neighbor.

I thought about 'SprayAndPray' but that would draw too much attention from official quarters.

I think I remember in NY they have a 100,000 round limit.

Curiosity demands I ask, is that your lotto numbers or some such?

I carry 11 mags full in my car with me at all times. 1 in my rifle, 4 in a thigh ride, 6 in my tac-vest. My car is where I have my SHTF kit.

11x30=330 rds. in SHTF kit

I've heard that in Florida, if you have over 10,000 rounds, then you are classified as an armory! I don't know exactly what the would mean, but that's what I've heard.

I buy a lot, load a lot, but shoot a lot also, so it isn't stored. Just kind of stops here for a short time before I send it down range. Like most things you use a lot of it usually saves you $ to buy ammo in large bulk amounts.

Actually, my employer gives me taxpayer purchased ammo to shoot. My employer also provides a vehicle, so that is where I store the ammo. I keep a few hundred for contingencies. The rest is just stuff I haven't gotten around to shooting yet. I don't keep any issued ammo in my house, but I do have plenty moe of my own personal ammunition.

This question has been asked before. It turned into a contest of sorts. Eric the Ammoman won with a hundred zillion rounds.

If you actually know how many rounds of each caliber you have, you don't have near enough.

Not enough ammo, but now I may have to go down and check. My minimum is 1000 rounds per gun.

Posted: 4/28/2002 7:54:01 AM EDT

well my new gun I got the remington tactical 700 i wont buy a crapload for it.. maybe 500-750 rounds of some good hornady, or winchester power points or something... that shit is like 17 bucks for 20!

I keep about a thousand for each gun .223/5.56, 9mm, 45acp, 12ga, 22lr

The limit here in Canada is 225Kg. Thats about 500Lbs.

It probably varies from state to state. i think here in NY we're limited to 1000 rds PER CALIBRE. IE. I can have 1000 rds of .223 and 1000 rds of 9mm.

I don't own any guns nor do I store any ammo. I don't know what you're talking about...

IIRC the 10,000 round limit is per DOT regulations. There was a gun store some months back that got their inventory confiscated by some overzealous DOT agent for not having the proper permits.

Since the last fun show, I have increased my ammo inventory to:

100 rounds of Remington 158gr SWCHP .38 +P
100 rounds of eley .22lr

Oh yes and an extended life battery for a cell phone with 911 on autodial, if and when I can afford one.

hey imbro, all you need now is 3 MREs a 2ltr bottle of spring water and a cute little day pack and youd be already for The S to hit the Fan HAHAHAHA

Hmmmm....I really don't know how much of each caliber I have. I know that I have several full ammo cans of various calibers. Maybe I should count them.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7......1000, 1001,1002,5000...Okay forget that..hehe

There was talk about imposing a limit here in Illinois. It's a good thing that's as far as it got because they wanted to include primers in the ammo count.

Pushing the limits of reason as you are, I think you should change the autodial to a good atty's number, you know what 911 will bring!!!
