Stocking ammo for community defense

[Dorky_D]

Hey, on cut shells, it is possible for them to come apart in a tube. Not done it myself, but I would think it would be better to spend a little more for some slugs or 00 buck for right now for your HD shotgun. Save the cut shells (at least the widespread use of them) for the SHTF day.

Handing out ammo willy nilly is a good way to arm a potential threat.

No you are not liable for supplying ammo. But you are describing giving ammo to people who have done nothing to prepare. Now you have something they need and you are arming them...

Bingo

The scenario the OP spoke about was neighbors with shotguns and ammo suited for other than self defense.

I don't believe I have any interest in buying ammo that I might later give away to these clueless and possibly dangerous neighbors.

Therefore, I suggest just showing them how to make their bird shot and clay target ammo somewhat more effective for personal defense by the use of a knife. By showing them how to make a cut shell.

I am not giving them anything unless they pay dearly for it or we are related.

Here you go.

The lost art of "Cut Shells" - YouTube

i personally like wax slugs better than cut shells and i really like taking the shot out of a #8 shell melting it into a 69cal roundball dropping back in the wad and putting a cap of wax on the round ball.

For the price of 100 00buck or 100 slugs you can get a round ball mold lead smelter and 100 #8 bird shot and make 100 slugs. Plus a 69 cal round ball weighs within 15 grains of the lead shot load so it is a safe practice load.
