No. I can't grow much facial hair beyond some chin fuzz, so my neck is nice and smooth...

I don't ever buy anything with the intentions of reselling- guns or ammo. But if I do sell something it's usually a gun that I have bought used and it prolly will come with a lil ammo to sweeten the deal.

Except .22. I almost never let that go. And it's not just for my kids cause they're all grown and gone now with their own guns. It's for me to shoot. Period. Hell I remember when it didn't used to be worth much at all and almost everyone I know always had ample stocks of the lowly .22. Now it's like gold to some people seems like. Weird. I have money, I have no need to go into the amateur ammo business just to make a few extra bucks. Way too much trouble for me.

Hoarding .22 is also not a new phenomena apparently. When my father passed away in 97' my siblings let me keep all of his firearms and related items. I found almost no ammo for any of the rifles,shotguns or hand guns he had beyond a couple large bags full of odd mixed (short and long) .22 ammo and a few boxes of 9mm he had for the 92F's.

(Tapatalk)- on the road.

I ain't one. I ain't desperate enough for it to do what the neck beards do. I did find some .22 ammo at academy in Norman the other day. It was aguila interceptors. I hadn't seen those before. They are copper plated. Kinda high but I got 10 boxes. I have enough that I can shoot whenever I want. And so can my son. I don't need to get out of hand trying to buy it. I'll save that for more guns.

My daughter doesn't shoot her 22 much anymore, so I have about 500 round set back incase she does. If she shoots that up then I'll go get some more, until then I might grab a box of Monarch 223 when I go to Academy every now and then. I'm over buying ammo, I'd rather Netflix and Chill.

You know how I know that you're gay?

I quess you could call me a neckbeard cause i have one but havent bought a single 22 round in over 3 years so where do i stand. lol

Where do you stand? Well, you sure ain't standing as a good example to your feller neckbeards if you ain't at Wally World at 6:00am to buy and stash .22lr ammo. Shame on you; calling yourself a neckbeard and all. For shame.

If only we could get everybody to start selling stuff for less than they paid for it, eventually everything would be free! I think I just invented a new economic philosophy. I think it has a better chance of working than some others that have made a big appearance on the world stage in recent centuries. If I come up with a cool "-ism" name for it, I'm sure it will really take off.

How about: "Broke-ism" ? ... or ""Out-of-Business-ism" ?

Nahhh your good. I was just talking about this yesterday with the wife. I have never sold a single round of ammo but don't care if others want to make a buck for their efforts.

Free market baby!! :yelclap:
