Angelo, First, define how much ammo is enough? I keep enough that I know I won't be able to shoot in my lifetime unless the SHTF! I am OCD as are most people in one way or another! I consider the lowly .22 at about 10K is good. 1 to 2K on everything else is a good number in my book! My wife is ready to divorce me as she is tired of picking up heavy boxes left by UPS on the front steps! Unfortunately for her I placed a few more orders of heavy boxes tonight!!! I am interested to hear your suggestions on how much is enough. I don't go to the range much anymore between work and the grandchildren. All of this ammo is stored in a damp and sometimes flooded basement since I have no place else to put it. It will also be stored for long term! I have the food saver machine and tons of rolls and bags. So unless it is bad for the ammo, I feel better vacuum sealing it! What are your thoughts???

SHTF storage. A VERY damp basement! I run a ventilation fan and dehumidifier 24/7. Ammo stored in OSHA flammable liquids cabinets, but running out of space!

Nice to see nationwide coverage from FOX!

I just ordered 1 black and 2 more khaki! No surprise discount for me! Still a great deal though!!!

Thanks Polak! I snagged one! Not so easy to find these days!

So CC mentioned our little protest!

Mostly commercial but I do have some reloads I did a long time ago. My reloads are in plastic ammo boxes, not sealed.

The trouble with ziplock bags is you cant really tell if the seal has been compromised. With vacuum sealing, you can!

VERY true!!! The facts always seem to get in their way!

Sure! But we are also getting some positive press. I heard nationwide but not sure of that yet!

I will of course call before I waste a trip if they have none of the good stuff left.

The opinions on this subject are all over the place on other sites. They range from, Vacuum sealing ammo is great! Especially if the ammo is stored in a place that could get damp! It's a waste of time! Just store it in a good ammo can with a desiccant pack! Never vacuum seal ammo as it removes the oxygen from the case and will cause the ammo to fail when used! Does anyone here have any experience using a food saver type device to vacuum seal their ammo for long term storage? Has anyone used ammo that was sealed and experienced problems? I think it's a great idea, but I have never tried to use ammo stored that way long term to know if it's good or bad. Thanks for your input.

I will try to down there this weekend. I will buy CCI but I have too much thundercrap that I bought when that was all you could find. I have all the bricks food saver sealed so the should last almost forever.

Some of this was to be expected from the anti gun, pro Sweeney side! We were respectful, quiet and law abiding! We stayed on the sidewalk.

They have a very generous amount of elastic in the waist! I also like the magnets on the lower front pockets!

The anti gun folks are now saying we were wrong to protest at Sweeney's house. They are saying we are using Carol's death to further our agenda!

Cool stuff! GE has been around longer than I thought!

Must have tons. Back in stock again!

Mine came in today. Fit was perfect!

This is what we have become? So many fear Sweeney! This is 2015 and Al Capone is DEAD! Such tyranny cannot be allowed to exist anymore! RETALIATION????? Is this a joke or what??? The only thing that gives Sweeney the kind of power that people fear him and FEAR HIS RETALIATION are those who blindly keep voting for him!!!! This thread reads like a book about the MAFIA in the 1930s. What are we, Lemmings??? Go to recallsweeney.com and volunteer to end this century old tyranny in our state. Together, we CAN take back New Jersey and return her to the U.S.A where the Constitution and the Bill of Rights still means something! Oh, and by the way, your life means something as well in the U.S.A. You can defend yourself and your family there without worry of retaliation!

Holy crap, Dan and Shyanne were there today. We all went to dinner afterwards! I did not put 2+2 together here! Dan brought Shyanne and his younger son to the protest. We discussed this and I will be getting back to Alex Roubian with more info. I sat across from Shyanne. She was a joy with a keen sense of humor! I did not realize that that little one is a better shot than me! But considering the fact that I suck! That is not so hard!!!

Who is Dan Roberts? I would be glad to help!

Am I crazy or do I recall something about the United Nations having the final say on gun rights in the U.S.A.??

Having a coworker who knew Carol well, I have inside information about the Berlin PD and how they treated her and her situation. Such as the killer had previously shot out the window of her home! She went to the police to have him arrested and they told her it was just a BB gun and not enough cause for arrest!!! This was from her mouth!!! I guess Berlin PD did not realize that in the PRNJ, a BB gun is a rifle!!! Same as if he shot a 30.06 at her windows! She was scared to death of this guy (LITERALLY) and the Berlin PD knew it as she asked them for help many times and even went to their headquarters a few days before she was murdered to ask why her permit has taken 2 months!!! When later questioned after her death, the chief said he was not aware that by NJ Statute, he was legally bound to issue within 30 days! This whole thing makes me sick and is the reason I was at Senator Steven Sweeney's house today carrying a sign with Carol's face on it putting the blame for her death on him for the laws he passed as senate president that allowed the Berlin PD to drag their feet and let her become yet another innocent person who died at the hands of a convicted felon because Sweeney does not trust us to carry guns for self protection!!! If any of you who read this and care enough, understanding that the next Carol could be a member of our family or even ourselves. Please go to recallsweeney.com and join our efffort!
