Re: How Much ammo do you have on hand at home adn why?

At first glance it seems that most people are waaaaay heavy in handgun ammo in self-defense calibres (9mm, 45 acp) and in varmint rounds (.223), and not nearly heavy enough in everyday hunting rounds like .22 LR, 12 ga bird and buck shot, and medium game (like .308). Planning for the zombocalypse, and not for extended hard times? The zombies will quickly die off from 45 sized holes, and we'll be wanting something that will take a squirrel or rabbit or dove cleanly, or skittish game at range. Not telling, but many thousands of rounds of 22 LR should dominate the mix. At 3 cents apiece now, they will be worth real money in trade post emergency because nobody will be able to make them.
