Ammo!

A couple of weeks ago a coworker asked me if I had a couple of boxes of .45 ACP I could sell him. After checking my stock I informed him I didn't have any extra and told him about 10 different places I would normally look for ammo.

He told me he had already checked all of those and about a dozen more and still couldn't find a box of .45 ACP. He found out I had 2-boxes in my ruck sack and offered me $100 for the pair. I told him no because of trying to keep a hole from developing in my supply. I told him what they were and he said that he wouldn't pay $50 a box for what I had anyway.

A few days later he told me he had found two boxes at a little store somewhere on the other side of Houston from where we work and that he had bought one of them because that's all they would sell him. I asked him what brand they were and what he paid for them. I don't remember the brand because I don't think I had ever heard of it before and he paid $48 per box before taxes, that somewhere above $50 after taxes.

I guess my two little boxes don't seam so bad to him now, but he was not getting them anyway.

22 ammo is missing because it finally dawned on the populace that a little 22 rifle and 1K rounds of ammo was a lot easier to carry than an AK or an AR plus 1k rounds for it. The 22 LR with standard velocity ammo is the real survival rifle.
