How much ammo?

I was caught flat footed during the Clinton shortage. Had to restrict my shooting significantly. I started laying in "stuff" so it wouldn't happen again.

During the first Obama shortage I was in pretty good shape, but I had picked up a new caliber and could not find anything for it for about a year. I redoubled my efforts.

I ignored the second Obama shortage. I have everything I need, including .22LR ammo. In fact, I bought a .22 rimfire rifle for my grandkids during the height of the shortage. The salesman told me that they had a few boxes (not cases) of .22LR in back that they were saving for people who bought guns. I could buy two of them (I did not ask if they were 50 or 100 round boxes). I said, "No thanks, I have plenty." He said, "I haven't heard that in a long time."
