Check out Kim du Toit's National Ammo Day (www.ammoday.com) site!

What is the purpose of National Ammo Day?

The purpose of National Ammo Day is to send a message to those who would seek to disarm us and to support U.S. ammunition manufacturers.

The goal is to put BILLIONS of rounds of ammunition into the hands of law-abiding citizens, all over the country, in a single day.

Let the politicians, the gun-grabbers, and the international community know that America is proud of its Right to Bear Arms and we will not be disarmed.

The gun/ammunition manufacturers have been taking the brunt of all the frivolous lawsuits brought by the gun-grabbers. These gun-grabbers are trying to put these folks out of business. Well, not if we can help it! And we CAN help it by buying ammunition on November 19!


How can you participate?
As a law-abiding citizen (and allowed to buy ammunition in your state or locale), we participate by purchasing ammunition on November 19: 100 Rounds should do it. Handloaders are counted by purchasing bullets and powder.

You might also want to let your ammunition supplier know of your intention to purchase ammunition on November 19, so they will have plenty of supply on-hand to meet the demand. A form is available from the National Ammo Day website, or contact your local ammunition supplier directly to find out if they have setup any special procedures to handle all the anticipated sales.

You can also assist by spreading the word about National Ammo Day. Send e-mails, faxes, and make phone calls to let your friends and family know about November 19.

There are other ways to show your support if you are unable or not interested in buying ammunition. On November 19, send a letter, a fax, or call your local representatives and let them know that you support the Second Amendment and the unhindered rights of law-abiding citizens To Keep and Bear Arms.

In addition, you may choose to donate to (or join) a gun rights lobbying group and let them know you are doing so in support of National Ammo Day. These organizations, such as the Second Amendment Sisters, NRA, and Gun Owners of America (to name just three), would benefit from your contribution.

Didn't have much in the ammo budget last year, but did buy a "small brick" (400 rounds) of Federal's American Eagle .22LR brand, and 40 rounds of 7.62x54 for my Mosin-Nagant M- 44.

Plan to pick up MUCH more this year.

[Mark Tyson]

I'll be participating. I think I'll buy some surplus ammo in bulk.

[Carlos Cabeza]

I'm in.

[Brian Dale]

Yup. :)

[Thrash1982]

:cool: :D

I'll buy as much as I can afford. Heck, I'll probably buy more than I can afford.

[CrudeGT]

I'll be there. Maybe i'll pick up a new handgun as well as ammo. I could always use both.

[Skunkabilly]

I already have more in ammo than I do in food!

Haven't you ever heard the old saying: "Ammo will get you through times of no food better than food will get you through times of no ammo"?

:D

[bogie]

I'll bet this doesn't even do a minor blip in sales.

[BamBam]

I'll bet this doesn't even do a minor blip in sales.
It got no coverage in the media that I know of last year.
But it wasn't because I didn't do MY part!

The point isn't to surge ammo sales or production; it's to SHOW UNITY.
Buy a six month supply in one day. If any media covers this event, imagine the impact it would make if the camera showed bare shelves at Wal-Mart and the manager saying "We were totally unprepared for this; people were lined up five-deep at the sporting good counter all day to buy bullets".

Buy a case or more of ammo. Urge your friends to buy a case.
Bullets are like California gubernatorial candidates: You can never have too many.

[jsalcedo]

I'll probably hit up Academy and Walmart for 9mm blazer and remington shotgun shells.

[Bigjake]

i'm there, pry a case of 9mm and a whole bunch of .45 acp. hell, i plan to buy my next couple months that date, it even gives me time to prep. isn't standard SHTF requirement 1000 rnds per caliber?? i got some stocking up to do!:evil:

[chaim]

Sure I'm in. Even if I only buy a box of the Winchester 100 round value pack .45acp at Walmart and some .22lr I'm in.

[NewShooter78]

So how would you go about doing a bulk ammo purchase online, and have the total count toward the National Ammo Day total?

[RVSinOK]

Count me in! :D

[gwalchmai]

So how would you go about doing a bulk ammo purchase online, and have the total count toward the National Ammo Day total? Most of the major online ammo vendors are (or should be) aware of AmmoDay. But just send them the link and ask that they report their sales to Kim. It's certainly in their best interests to support it.

In fact, that's a good idea. Let's email all our favorite online ammo vendors and tell them about AmmoDay and suggest they support it.

[cool45auto]

Sounds good, I'm in.

[Black92LX]

I'm in

[Dave R]

Oh, yeahhhh. I'm in.

Nice of them to include components for reloaders.

Pass the word on, folks. Make the media irrelevant and show them what "gun nut solidarity" can do.

[Deepdiver]

Roger that! I'm in for at least 1000 rounds of something - maybe some good surplus 308 for the HK.

[WhoKnowsWho]

Heard about this after the fact last year, I will be doing it for sure this year!

[BHPshooter]

I didn't have a chance to participate last year, but I'm in this year. I'll max out my credit card and blow my paycheck. ;) I could use a few cases of 9mm, and I haven't had any 12-guage ammo around for a while.

Thanks for posting this. :D

Wes

[Waitone]

Last year I heard some enthusiastic boosters mailed used targets to various congressional representatives.

Bad symbolism.

[gwalchmai]

Yes, Waitone, I think buying the ammo will send all th message needed. ;)

[longtom4570]

I'm in i need more ammo:D

[MeekandMild]

I think I'll just go to Wally World and get some 9mm. Can't shoot it till after deer season though. :(

[Nando Aqui]

Either I missed it in the past or have forgotten it.

Is it always on 19 November? If it is not on a fixed date, it sure would be better if it were on a Saturday.

19 November is a Wednesday and I doubt if I can make it then - - unless web purchases count?

Alex

[gwalchmai]

Nando, it has been extended to the 13th through the 23rd, so enjoy.... ;)

[Pumpkinheaver]

Good I need some more 7.62 nato ammo and you can never have enough .22s.

[Moparmike]

Cool. I dont know if I can participate though. Hafta wait and see how $$$ goes.:)

[Brian Dale]

Kim DuToit started the thing last year. He picked November 19th because it's his birthday (for the heck of it). This year, he's trying to spread the word earlier and farther, and it's November 15th through 23rd, so you get two weekends. Web purchases count; everything counts.

The goal, as I read it, includes flexing some purchasing muscle. Having gun owners all buy ammo in a short period of time gives all kinds of folks, from marketing types to politicians, a sense that we matter. It's probably a good idea to communicate to the people you're buying it from that, "Why, yes -- I AM buying it now because it's National Ammo Day."

Mike - could ya see yer way clear ta buyin' a hunnerd rounds o' .22LR? ;) It's fer a Good Cause. :D
(note: I expect to go heavy on the .22LR myself; I'm way broke now)

[Nando Aqui]

Good!

I'll go to as many stores* as I can and buy a couple of boxes of something and tell them. I usually buy over the net, but I want to let the stores (and especially the clerks) know what is going on.

* In the St. Louis area, at least:
Galyans
Bass Pro Shop
Walmart
several (real) Gun Shops

Alex

[Dionysusigma]

I'm in. 'Course, everything I use is .22lr and 7.62 x 39, so I might just hafta make it 1000 rds of each :rolleyes: :D

[greyhound]

Think I'll buy some for guns I haven't even bought yet (extra incentive to start saving)!:)

[Zach S]

Hmmm, I thought the Nov 19th Ammo Buycott was the result of a Nov 19 Ammo Boycott started by some anti?

[BluesBear]

Everyday is a good day to buy more ammunition.

If you order ammo online be sure and tell then that it is for National Ammo Day/Week

I wonder if the NRA or GOA would be interested in collecting copies of our sales reciepts to demonstrate how people CAN rally for a cause?

[shooten]

I'll be getting a bunch of .40 for my new Sig P229. I can't pick it up until next Friday because of our wonderful 10 day waiting period here.

Scott

[Black Majik]

Time to stock up on some .45, 9mm, and 12 ga. :)

[foghornl]

I have sent inquiries to my local "Sporting Goods Stores" to see if they will be promoting "National Ammo BUYcott" day. also provided them with the link

www.Ammoday.com

and reminded them that I will be buying much more if I see a return on my $$ spent with them.

Sent ???'s to Dicks Sporting Goods, Dunhams Discount Sports, and Gander Mountain. Will post replies, if any. Galyan's has just opened a store here in Greater Cleveland, but haven't been in yet.

{Store in is Legacy Village, a new "mall' in one of the Eastern Burbs of Cleveland, Lyndhurst, I think} Mall has over 3,400 employees, but less than 3,000 parking spaces. Soooo, I haven't been in Galyan's yet.

[Moparmike]

Well, I bought 2 boxes of PMC 10mm and a box of Bosnian 8mm JSP (new stuff).

Did my part.:)

[Combat-wombat]

We're very tight on money right now, but maybe we could get 100 rounds of .38 special and a 500 brick of .22.

[gwalchmai]

Thanks, Mike, but actually, it's kinda important to buy it on or around the 19th (of November).

[JPM70535]

Count me in

Although I don't know where I will store it. Guess I will just have to go to the Range, and burn a few hundred rounds so I will have the room

[DontShootMe]

37 mins 'till NATL AMMO DAY

Buy local! Buy Ammoman.com! Buy CheaperThanDirt.com!

Remember, 11/19 is the day.

:cool:

[nick89302]

I did my part:

1000rds of .223REM
500rds of .45ACP
500rds of .40S&W
500rds of 9x19

:D

[Pappy John]

Looks like a good day to run over to Shyda's for some .30 carb.

[GhostCat]

Saw a bumper sticker the other day that read:......"Ammo...The Currency of the new millineum".......

How true is that?????

GhostCat

[boofus]

I'm heading over to the local range to buy 100 rounds of 9mm ammo to use on the MP5 they have for rent there. I could use it. This crap on NPR that the boss here forces us to listen to is full of whining socialist blissninnies. Hearing these hypocritical 'progressive' blissninnies ticks me off to no end. :cuss:

[Erich]

Well, now I've participated in both National Ammo Days so far. Just bought 100 rounds of .41 mag.

Happy BD, Kim! :)

[chaim]

I'm heading out in about an hour. I'll be buying:
-a 500 round brick of .22lr
-100-200 rounds of .22lr CCI Mini-Mag
-100-200 rounds of .45acp Winchester White Box Value Packs
-and a box or two of .41mag (so I'm prepared when my GunBroker gun comes), some .41mag bullets, maybe some additional brass (a box or two of ammo is only 50-100 pieces of brass, I'm sure I'll need more than that), and some more powder (what I have isn't really suited to .41mag).

I'll probably be shooting up all the .45 and most of the .22 today though because I'm taking my MkII and 1911 to the range.

[foghornl]

Got no replies from any of my e-mails to Dick's, Dunhams, and Gander Mountain. Soooo, I'll go buy some extra from my local gunshop.

[Augustwest]

Really didn't need any factory stuff right now, and the local shop doesn't carry much in the way of reloading components, but I picked up a couple of boxes of 9mm Makarov and some .22lr at lunchtime, just cuz...

[mwithers72]

I got a new progressave reloading press, 2000 primers, 1000 115gr FMJ 9mm , 600 95gr cast 380s, 100 158gr SP 38 Spl, 2 pounds of bullseye and 70 rnds of mil-surplus 8mm for my Mauser. I hope that counts :D

[longtom4570]

I just got back from Sportsman warehouse and came home with 700 rounds, 350 45acp
350 9mm, 250 of each was UMC 250 rnd value box and 100 ea of american eagle lead bullets. Also got a pair of Houge grips for my 1911 Mil-spec and some other stuff for my boys for christmas:D all in all a good day.

[Dave Markowitz]

Last night I ordered 350 rounds of Yugo 7.62x25 from MidwayUSA.

Today I ordered 150 rounds of S&B 7.62x25, and 50 rounds of S&B .357 Mag 158 grain JSP.

[P95Carry]

Slipped down to the far end at Wally World a little while back (they seem to have to place that counter way outa the way don't they .. maybe ''in case it offends?'':rolleyes: )

Not a big purchase ... spent way too much this last month or two - but, box of 40 White Box .223 45 grn JHP, box of 40 White Box .223 55 grn FMJ ....... and ''another'' box of Fed .22lr bulk pack 550. All just to add to ''stock'';)

[BluesBear]

500 .45 WWB
20 Aguila .45 IQ (Is this stuff any good?)
40 Aguila 12ga MiniBuck #1
40 Aguila 12ga MiniSlug
25 Remington 12ga Slugs
25 Remington 12ga 00buck
25 Remington 12ga 000buck
500 Aguila .22 Colibri (¿I hear they're discontinuing this stuff?)
500 Aguila .22 60gr SSS
550 Federal .22lr

Carrying all that up the stairs makes my back almost as sore as my wallet.
I'm done for the year. But I did my part.

[cool45auto]

I picked up 200 rounds of WWB 9mm and 550 rounds of 22lr.

[manwithoutahome]

I'm poor right now so all I got was 100rds of 9mm (like I need more 9mm), 100rds of .45, a brick of 500 .22lr (can never have enough .22 :D), and the most expensive, a box of 7.62x25 (OUCH!).

Who are we supposed to send the receipts too?

M

[dav]

Stocked up on 45ACP here

[Fly320s]

Who are we supposed to send the receipts too?

These folks keep a running tally.

Correction... they kept track last year but not this year.

[Carlos Cabeza]

1K .223
5 boxes WWB .45
2 bricks .22 lr
5 boxes .270 win

[DeputyVaughn]

I'm not really hurting in the ammo department right now. However, I was already going to pay shipping for some stuff from Cheaper than Dirt so I added 10 boxes of Silver Bear .223 ammo to my order. Did my part.

Scott

[Dave R]

I did what I could. Bought some more reloading components--bullets, primers, etc. Did buy a bit of .223.

[Typhoon]

One case - PMC .45

Now to find a class...

[Missouri Mule]

I did my part and then some....

Yesterday I purchased 100 rounds each from 5 different Wal-Marts.

Then I ordered a new Kimber SS Compact II. It should be here in acouple of weeks.

Not only that I bought nice Original S70 Colt today!

:evil: :neener: :D

[pistolero]

Bought 1 box (500) of .45 bullets (no, not cartridges). Tried to buy a 1 lb can of VV 340 but the gun shop that I trade at ( the owner is an IPSC shooter) was sold out. Fired 70 rounds of .380 and 21 rounds of .44 special. Also have 100 rounds of .45 G. A. P. on order that I have not picked up yet. Hope this counts.

[LiquidTension]

I bought a case of 9mm, but I got it from somebody else that had it sitting around for a while. Guess I didn't really do my part, but I did get some ammo out of it :uhoh: Maybe I can make it to Walmart before midnight.

[Daedalus]

I am a little late, but my 1000rds of 7.62x39 came in today, and while loading up my stripper clips inspiration hit :D
