I want to keep enough ammo on hand in case there is a shortage or the price gets hiked up but I don't want to turn my home into a munitions depot.
How many rounds of various ammunition do you think is adequate to keep on hand? Also, where and how do you store your ammo?
Exactly why not? Ammunition Depots are very useful.
To answer your question I would first have to list all my firearms (which I, quite, coincidentally lost in a boating accident ... oops).
I have exactly 422 rounds of 7.62 x 54R FMJ For my (Lost in boating accident ...oops) Izhmash Dragunov and M44 and 20 soft point rounds for dropping antlered forest rats.
135 rounds of FMJ 9x18 Mak for CZ-82
50 rounds of 7.62 x 38 Nagant
100 rounds .32 Mag
20 rounds .32 Long all for my M1895 Revolver.
BTW - I live in Georgia and have my Georgia Firearms License. What that means is I am allowed to carry a handgun concealed, or openly. My license is also recognized by several other states.
In my state, you have to go to your local superior court. They do an extensive background check on you, FBI, GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) and local Sheriff's office. A superior court judge then approves or denies your license. It took them 7 days to issue my license. It is good for 5 years.
I am also allowed to sell firearms face to face in Georgia. I can mail them to any FFL. Ammo can be sold privately face to face. To ship ammo I **think** you have to print ORM-D on the box.
Then there are class III weapons. I hope to get my class III license someday.
