What do you keep readily available?

Post by GunnyGene » Thu Feb 25, 2021 5:21 pm

Probably none of my beeswax, so don't feel obligated to post it. I know a lot of y'all probably have enviable stashes in safes and other secure places - don't care about that or what you might have already loaded in your firearms/magazines.

Since I'm past caring about who knows what, here's what I currently have handy for stay or go.

All that and more Gene. I have a PO9 CZ 19 round 9mm a 40 M&P and a M&P 45 always around me and I always have a 38 in my pocket. The AR's are handy to but there in the safe.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

9mm on me or close, 45/70 at the ready, 12 ga w/ 00 Buck handy in the bedroom. Think that'll cover it.
Ammo for all, of course.

I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

a tube with 00 buck & slugs, a SAA & BBS in 45c with adequate ammo, more handguns in various calibers with enough to feed them so they won't get hungry for a while ;) :)

I keep 4 light sleeper labs whose loud barking will keep most people honest. If not, they will give me time to load up something that will get their attention. Nothing loaded. Grandkids are young and too curious. Don't carry unless in woods with my dogs. To each his own, certainly enough paranoia out there nowadays. Crime definitely up since covid started. Been a few road rage incidents around here with irresponsible gun owners being a little too quick to react. Luckily they were caught and are being prosecuted.

Pretty much every firearm I own, there is at least a box or two at the ready. :o
Maybe not in the -06, but there are dies and bullets. ;)
There's enough 22's to shoot a 50 rd. box a day from now until this day next year with some to spare.
Yeah I've been stocking since the LAST Damn election fiasco. :lol:

Everything I shoot is available and enough of it. Shotgun is first into action though.
