I don’t know how much ammo I have, but it seems like plenty - until I get on here and read these messages. Y’all make me nervous. What I have better be enough cause I am not going to find any more ammo I can afford. I only have a couple mags for my pistols, but I am sure I have plenty for the AR.

Sig mags seem a little scarce but i've seen a lot of online shops with Glock mags on sale.
If you have ammo for a few magazines of pistol and a few hundred rounds of rifle, and you have a few magazines to fill, then you have plenty for SHTF situations. You are not likely to survive more than one or two running gun battles and if you win you can scavenge more and if you lose, well you won't care. It's a TEOTWAWKI situation and you're going to be hunting for food, so will everyone else and game will be scarce.
Now, if you want to keep shooting recreationally for the next year or two until this cycle dies, well, then you're screwed.
If you want to set back a stock of magazines in the event the gov't decides to ignore its own Constitution and ban them, then you really only lose out on the possibility of making a ton of money if they grandfather in existing ones (unlikely) or becoming a criminal because you don't turn them in like a good little citizen.
Ohhhh, I was kind of mixing up my comments on ammo vs magazines sorry. I literally have like 2-3 magazines for each pistol. I have about a dozen AR magazines. And then I probably have about 1000+ rounds of each caliber but haven't taken an inventory. I'm good for SHTF and some limited recreational shooting - but the stuff is starting to seem like ammo cans of precious metals, better left to sit in the closet just in case.
I haven't had to buy ammo in a while, and lately I've looked. Seems like most everywhere ammo is bought up, and guns are bought up, but I'm absolutely shocked to see 30rd mags are still available everywhere at good old days pricing. For example, PSA still has D&H's for $10, Botach still has Okay mags for $11 each. I'm just sitting here scratching my head wondering if there's something I'm missing and not seeing. Is this something that's going to change closer to November?
I remember in the last magazine shortage that aluminum mags were going for $100 each or more and pmags went for $150. I couldn't believe that when I saw it. I learned my lesson from that and the 94 ban, but in both those cases when the guns and ammo dried up so did the mags.
When were Pmags 150 bucks? Not during the 94 ban, Pmags didn't hit the street until 06.....
I assume he's talking about post Sandy Hook.
Could be, I dont remember those prices at all.
