You are welcome.
Yeah, I work for a living and can't sit outside waiting for a business to open. One of the managers or leads at Academy overheard several of them talking about how they didn't need it, going to resell it, just because, etc.

Just getting back from Colorado for the summer. One of my favorite spots to shoot there is the county range 2 miles from our RV Park.I am however, surprised at the part about you, as a LEO, having to buy your own training ammo. Is that a common thing among various departments and agencies? That just doesn't seem right to me. I mean, they expect you to stay proficient, but don't help you out with ammo? Hmmmm, perhaps a little blame for your plight ought to be placed there.
The only person at fault for your predicament is you, op.
Considering what is going on these days (rioting, covid panic, election year, etc). It shouldn't surprise anyone there is an ammo shortage.
I'll say this, after 20+ years and a college degree in my profession I was making $8.20 per hour. I was training new hires making $10.50 per hour. We actually qualified for food stamps at one point but I never filed.I wasn't going to go that far, we already know that many LEOs are underfunded and often underpaid. Maybe the OP isn't in a financial position to stock up when times are good, like some. If it boils down to food for the family or ammo for the range, well, kids gotta eat. But yeah, on the other hand, a guy takes a job and knows in advance he's got to provide his own ammo. So it might just be a matter of priorities.
I do feel his pain. I think that many of us feel that what the neckbeards do is wrong, but neckbeards gonna neckbeard so there's that. Think of it like toilet paper, except I can do okay without ammo for awhile if I have to.
