Ammo? Wouldn't that be dangerous?

I remember carrying around $25-30 thousand dollars in cash in a paper sack on paydays at Ft. Hood back in the day, with five rounds in my .45. They wouldn't even give us a full magazine to guard the company payroll. Ft. Hood was an open post back then, and everyone in central Texas knew when payday at the post came around.

My jeep driver was a tough kid from Detroit who could handle himself pretty well. After the first payday with two .45s and ten rounds between us, I scrounged four more magazines from the company armorer and bought a box of Remington hardball at the rod and gun club. From then on we had enough spare magazines and ammo to put up a bit more than "token resistance"!
