yup some take it personal when someone trys to educate them and because there pride gets in the way want to turn that education into something personal. Id bet some of the guys that have run out will be the same ones when this happens again (and it will) being on the side of the people who had the sense to make getting stocked up a priority instead of some chrome for there harley or pickup or a new golf club.
Comical thing is ive got a guy i worked with that during the last shortage came over and bummed some 22 shells to take his kid to camp. I gave him a brick and said have fun. About 6 months ago he called me and asked me if i had any 22 shells he could buy. I LAUGHED at him. Hes got a 200k house a nice truck and car a 4 wheeler and two snowmobiles but was to tight to buy a half a dozen bricks of 22 shells. If you take this education as bragging or gloating then youll be in the same predicament 10 years from now when it happens again. Hanzys post hit it on the head. Its hard to admit you were wrong and its easier to be a baby and cry. Id bet none of you here are under 18 years old and sure shouldn't need me to educate you and its not my job to do so. But here you are. But to come here and say this shortage is the first or unprecedented is ridiculous. If your out you should be chastising yourself not someone here. You darned sure should have known better and next time your in walmart and they have 22 shells put the steak and beer back and buy some 22 shells.
