This ammo shortage is starting to piss me off now....
I attended a neighourhood BBQ yesterday after work. After a couple hours a few of us were discussing the plinking session, me and a friend had on Saturday afternoon. Before long the discussion group had grown to include most of the people there, who all wanted to come try it sometime. As we were setting up play dates, one of the other people started grumbling about how I shouldn't be having all these people over, shooting so much ammo in these "troubled times". I was kind of curious, but wasn't looking for a debate about shooting at that late hour, especially with an unknown. He kept it going though, and dragged others into it. Eventually he got around to his point that, that kind of wasteful shooting is why there is a shortage of ammo, and when it can be found it's way over-priced. Another time I would have, and may yet engage his conversation, but that was not the right arena so I slipped away shortly after.
The bad news is, he went on about the shortage for the rest of the night after I left, and killed the party.
The good news is, I received follow up today from 9 of the people there, and have 3 dates set-up to introduce them all to shooting.
LOL, couldn't resist with the thread title. I went looking for the original epic thread to share my story, and there it was, gone!
