    If I was a betting man I say they would. All I know is that the people of Ukraine fighting for their families and freedom need help now.

    Just for clarification, I was referring to the manufacturers, not Ukraine....

    This is a discussion that wouldn't be here but since Sept 11th, we have not had an invasion of the US by a foreign enemy. The last one that led to a major war, was Pearl Harbor but the ramifications in the two are quite different.
    That being said, this discussion would probably run the gamut and churn out far more pages of the forum would be taken up on such an unlikely, unique and interesting topic were we ever as US citizens would ever defend a foreign enemy in warfare on our own territory like the Ukrainians are . I do hope they would cover our six, but warfare has changed immensely and I hope that we would have support either way.

    Just went through the two boxes of shotgun shells. What a hodge podge. 2 ¾, 3 and 3½. Birdshot, buckshot, turkey, slugs, lead, copper, steel. Some of the markings have worn off for easy I'd, so I'll have to look in better light to see if I can make anything out....
    3½ in....buckshot, turkey, a couple waterfowl and some unknown kprobably tky) I have a 935, so can handle 3 ½ in, but never have before. Might have to find an ele-phant to try them out on....

    3 in...some 00, slugs, and federal #2s. Thinking they're lead from the weight, not steel, and probably a bit too old to be the fancy waterfowl stuff (and older markings, don't say waterfowl etc).

    2¾ in. Mostly birdshot, some low and high brass 6's, 1 buck, some unknowns. And one lonely 20 ga..

    Oh, and some Dale Jr birdshot...

    New guy started at work recently. Got to talking yesterday and he tells me he sold all of his firearms minus a 22 revolver. Says he has some 9mm and a box of 45ACP. Asks if I want some free ammo. Quit twisting my arm will ya?! I think he and I are going to get along just fine :)

    Geeze. Sounds like me 10 years ago only I got rid of them for fishing. Ammo I didn't really know about prices then either.

    This was given to me by a younger guy (29) who’s had it for about 10 years. Apparently he got his permit and a couple pistols, went to the range once then never touched any of it again. When he had kids he decided to sell the pistols. Funny because when I started having kids, my impulse was to get MORE firepower, to protect the family I have.

    LOL I still have to count it. I found a few stray 45s which brings the total to 57 rounds of 45ACP, also there were a couple dozen rounds of 22LR in the bottom of the box too. I haven’t counted the 9mm yet but there’s definitely several hundred in there.

    So obviously, no matter what the count is....the statement stands. You do realize that, right? :handshake:

    Same sentiment to me only I made more responsible choices in the limelight. But now I'll be able to teach my daughter and got enough ammo for awhile.
