Without ammo, a firearm is just an awkward club.

How much do you folks consider to be a reasonable supply to carry in your airplane?  For me, 40 - 50 rounds (Rifle=20rd/box; pistol=50/box) should be enough to see me  through a trek back to civilization.

It's overcast here too and is gonna be at least the next two days, my days off from rolling and patrolling. Sigh. So tomorrow I will try to repair my fence so my pup doesn't try to knock-up every bitch in heat in SE Houston. I can do that in the rain.  :-)  Yes, I need to fix him....poor pup....

Chris, 

Well, it is low IFR here in Austin-Lockhart today, so the wife and I went to the shooting range.  We would have stayed longer, but in case you haven't heard, there's a severe shortage of ammo virtually everywhere.  So, tell me Chris, what's the inside skinny on where to buy 9mm?
