Talking in context of hundreds of thousands up to a million, I'd be curious.
I guess that nobody else finds it kind of weird that an ordinary guy would own enough ammunition to shoot a thousand rounds a day, every day, for three years? I guess that i only keep an amount on hand for a half dozen or so range trips?
It's obviously possible that the guy is a national level competition shooter. I'm assuming that he hasn't got a really urgent need for it all.
To me, this is similar to a guy who keeps cases of mayonnaise. He's probably a weirdo.
That million rounds cost money. If the guy is living in a shanty and sends his kids to school in worn clothes there is a problem. No, I won't loan him a twenty until payday, I won't ever let him drive my car.
If we were talking about a truly dedicated collector and shooter of many guns, and he kept thousands of rounds on hand for every one of them, that's not abnormal, and if you keep it in context there's nothing strange about it. If, however, a guy has pallet stacks of one thousand cases of 7.62x39 piled in his living room, I'm going to just assume that either he has a good reason for it or he has a screw rolling around inside his head.
It's going to stay in my head. I'm going to assess it logically to understand why he has it. If there's no particularly good reason for having a thousand cases of ammo in his home, I'm going to assume that something unusual is happening.
Maybe he's just a secondary market for his club or friends? He's the one who accepts delivery of the truckloads, then hands them out to the buyers?
In any case, having a pile of ammo the size of a pickup in the garage should be a very tightly kept secret. If that pinhead allowed you to find out that he is holding ammo in the tens of thousands, his judgment is impaired. You don't let things like that go out to the general public.
