[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3415059, member: 10465"] I commiserate with you, in a way, but how do you know they are going to resell it at a higher rate? I have more 9mm than I need [U][I]right now[/I][/U], but not enough to last if this shortage continues for too long or (God forbid) Biden wins. I don't think of myself as a hoarder, just one who learned from the last shortage to buy it when it was cheap and readily available. One thing for sure, I am darn sure not going to resell any of it in order to make a profit. One: I don't think shooters gouging other shooters is very cool and two: I bought it to use it. But then, so what if I did resell it? I have quite a bit of 9mm that I paid $10 or $11 bucks per box for. If I were to post it in the classifieds for say...$16 per box, I could make a little profit and [I]still [/I]be giving others a good deal considering today's prices. Would that make me a neckbeard? ( Not gonna do it, just asking). I am also of the opinion that my safety and that of my loved ones is really up to me for the most part, and I feel that I am as entitled as anyone to buy available ammo in order to maintain my own proficiency too. So where's the distinction? Should LEO's get priority over regular citizens at the ammo counter? I'd say that's up to the company selling the ammo. 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. I went to Big Boys yesterday and shot mostly .22lr and 32acp. But I also took a PPK in .380ACP, and had no problem buying a box of .380ACP ammo there for less than $20. I bet if you go there, or most places like that, you can most likely buy range ammo in .22lr, ,380ACP, 9mm or .45ACP or whatever at the range counter. Maybe just a box or two, but it beats none. (Note: In the interest of full disclosure, I was [U]not [/U]among the neckbeards at Academy or anywhere else , nor will I be. I have bought my ammo, for the most part, online. Phooey on that crap about getting up early to stand in line to buy a couple of boxes of ammo). [/QUOTE]
