Tried to help but my help was abused,,,

[aarondhgraham]

Last week a work friend asked if I knew where he could buy some 9mm ammo,,,
I replied how I hadn't seen any on the shelves locally,,,
And my go-to SGAMMO was completely out.

I did brag about how I was lucky,,,
I got a small windfall of cash a few months back,,,
Instead of spending it on another gun I stocked up on ammo.

My 9mm stash is sitting at just under 3,500 rounds,,,
Which is plenty for me as I plink mainly with my rimfire guns.

He asked if I would sell him 500 or 1,000 rounds,,,
He has two younger friends who just bought 9mm pistols,,,
They burned through what he had and now were completely ammo dry.

I didn't want to part with that much of my stash,,,
But I did remember that I had some Tula steel case I could part with.

I remember that they still had the price sticker of $12.49 on them,,,
So I said I would sell him 200 rounds for what I paid.

When I delivered the ammo to him next day I cautioned him,,,
Don't let those boys shoot all this up to quickly,,,
I won't be selling any more of my stash.

That was last Friday.

Today he comes up to me asking to buy another 200 rounds from me,,,
Apparently the two went through all of that ammo in 30 minutes.

I reminded him I had already said the store is closed,,,
I only sold him those 200 rounds so they would have something instead of nothing.

His, "C'mon man, you're hoarding when the rest of us have nothing."

"Sorry." I said,,,
"I told you this was all I would sell."

Then I got cursed out.

I've worked in the same building with this man for 12 years,,,
I considered him a friend but not anymore.

Sorry for the rant,,,
But it's either pound my keyboard or his face.

Probably took him less than 30 minutes to sell it on armslist or facebook.

That sucks man. I only have around 3000 myself and I am hanging on to it. Most are my reloads anyway so I can not sell it.

Good excuse to use when someone tries wheedling you into selling some ammo!

I too would tell him that I did not want to sell any more. I have completely stopped shooting my 9mm at the range at all. Keeping it in reserve in case I really need it for something.

In fact, I went and bought a second .22 pistol so that wife and I could still go to the range together and shoot. We used to go and she would shoot the .22 and I would shoot my 9mm but now we both shoot .22.

But, if you are willing I'd be willing to take a couple of hundred rounds of 9mm if you have some you want to get rid of !!

Friend don’t take advantage of one another that Way They definitely don’t issue cussing because you cut him off. I’d say you lost nothing there as TAKERS are a dime a dozen

This. Not a friend, this is someone who likes knowing you as a connection.

1) Never tell anyone how much ammo you have in your stash
2) he is not a work friend and never was
3) your co-worker is an idiot....and likely needs his face pounded.

I mean you did him a solid by selling him steel case at all, much less at your own cost when you could have easily doubled it.
