What the Brit abroad needs

The uninitiated might think that’s a lot of ammo. It’s not.

I realized I was running out of Teabags the other day and ordered another 6 months’ supply. Ammo’s been in short supply for ages. I’ve been nurturing my stocks, and not going to the range. The last time I went shooting, they were only allowing you to buy one box of ammo per lane (and they wouldn’t let me rent another lane to get another box).

Today, shopping at Bass Pro, I was pleased to find some ammo on the shelf, and at a reasonable price too. I picked up 500 rounds. I left a few boxes for others, I wasn’t going to be that guy.

The uninitiated might think that’s a lot of ammo. It’s not. We could easily run through all of it in a couple of trips to the range. As it is, a couple of hundred rounds are earmarked as a Christmas present for one of the kids. I’ll pop back to the store next week for some more, and to see if the handgun I’ve been trying to buy for six months is back in stock yet (It wasn’t. It took a trip to a gun show to find one).
