I can appreciate the sentiment, however, that's not how "they" work. Anyone who waited till you were home to come knock on your door and give a chance to use that ammo, would have very little tactical sense. For better or worse, the "high risk warrant" types of guys are pros. If they want you, you'll never have a chance for all that "stand a fight," "take a few with me," "die on the front lawn in a hail of gunfire" type of machismo talk. Now, to keep this on course, since it's not my intention to drift the thread and get it locked...
I bought a bunch of cans of 7.62x39 back when it was like $80 for a 700 round tin of the stuff and have that stashed. It's all that Golden Tiger stuff that was considered pretty good. Also grabbed a bunch of 440 round tins of x54r when they were cheap as well. So most of my core stock is commie surplus. A few thousand of this and another few thousand of that.
My other big stash is .38spl/.357mag. I've managed to nab a good amount of the stuff over the years, but the problem is, I also shoot a lot of it so it's tough to keep a good supply. Bummer! Although now that my wife has gotten into shooting, and she has her Speed Six and LCR to practice with, I'm just as happy to run through my supply, because any time she's getting trigger time, it can only be a good thing!
Of course, I have probably ~3k .22lr, but honestly, i think of .22LR like I do salt and pepper, or a broom, or extra batteries. .22LR is a household necessity. Not ammo.
Except for the ones who aren't pros, of which there are plenty of examples.
