[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2097714, member: 116181"] Yeah sure, the Average Joe !plans! to stockpile. But then when it's available they'll put it off because there's no need because it's right there on the shelf. They don't need to drop $2,000 on ammo because the shortage is over! And then Average Joe doesn't stockpile, and then he tries to panic buy the next time there's a run because the 500 rounds he's had for 5 years isn't enough. Heck yeah he'd buy 5000 9mm right now if there was any! Never mind he never actually shot any of the ammo he already has because that's his stockpile, not for regular shooting. He'll buy some to shoot if he ever actually goes shooting. Because it's right there on the shelf... Same people buy all the 10# bags of rice at Wal Mart when a storm is about to hit, not thinking that they have no idea what to do with a 10# bag of rice. It's what's left! Buy it! We need it! Then they throw it away a year later unopened when they find it at the back of the pantry. [U]Because successful habits aren't built under pressure[/U]. You'll revert to your true habits as soon as the pressure is gone. If you don't eat rice before, you won't suddenly start just because the grocery store was stripped bare one day and restocked two days later. If you weren't already shooting 100 rounds a month, you won't start just because you scored 500 rounds during an ammo shortage. If you were a shooter before, you didn't have a stockpile, you had a rotating inventory that you rebuilt as you shot. [/QUOTE]
