From time to time we get old ammo given to our business from people getting out of shooting or just inherited stuff. We often use it at our staff shoot which coincidentally was a couple of weeks ago between the recent rain showers. Phil.
 
Nice when you get a surprise like this. I've had a few very nice experiences over the years too, which I'm immensely grateful for.
 
Also when I was an LEO in Edmonton we would often get ammunition dropped off at the station for people who either inherited or just didn't want the ammo anymore. For the most part it went to the Tactical teams or bomb quad for disposal (often blowing up with explosives) or sometimes I was told it was buried. This seemed very wasteful to me so I went out on a limb (I was a front line supervisor) and asked if the ammo was turned in at a sub station I was working at, to have the front counter guys keep it aside for me for the "correct" way of disposal. Every so often we would have an uncommitted training day where the supervisor could choose optional training. Since I was a gun guy at that time I gathered the ammo and went to our outdoor range to practice shooting it off. I brought out my own guns (pistols and rifles) in the various calibers and gave all my squad a chance at improving their own skills and also the opportunity to handle guns not previously familiar to them. On one instance our firearms training section threw in a case of 40 S&W to make the day even more interesting. Obviously a good day was had by all and a few members even decided on their own to buy personal guns. Phil.
