Have you ever been to NYC or LA? San Francisco?
Single-Family homes basically do not exist in NYC, and dependence on public transit there is massive. For millions of people in NYC, this is life:
-You wake up in a building that several hundred other people are waking up in. Your air conditioning and heating system is run through the same system as these hundreds of other people. You walk out into a hallway with 5 doors for other residents on it on your floor and get in an elevator or on the stairs. Getting to street level you encounter 15 people you never talk to, but can identify by their face.
-You walk outside and encounter literally hundreds of people. You walk to the subway and are in a metal tube with hundreds more. You're all breathing the same air, feet apart from each other. You have no personal space. You get to work, and work in a crowded space. If you work in a public-facing business, you likely encounter hundreds of people per day.
-You repeat your subway trip home.
You've probably been within 6 feet of 1000 people, specifically 1000 different people, every day.
Contrast that with LA, where you'll likely take a car to work and interact with 0 people. You're more likely to live in a single family home (small and overpriced, but still single-family) or an open-air apartment in an apartment complex. In a public facing environment, you probably interact with hundreds of people a day, but that depends on the specific work you do and where.
Sourcing is an issue as well. Flights from Europe to NY (LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark) are incredibly common, those to LA or Seattle are significantly less so. West Coast interaction with China was shut off January 31st. NYC interaction with Europe wasn't shutdown until mid March.
More people, with more daily interactions, with less ability to separate, with more seeding from other countries, and you have more spread. Combine that with De Blasio and NY Councilmembers telling people to gather in large groups in early March and you get what we're seeing.Florida Crew as of 3/21

Rumor is that kim jong un is brain dead (but it's only a rumor because north korea is as reliable as china as to accurate information getting out). 2020 is definitely an interesting year...

Am walking around with my new Blade Tech OWB holster and Comp Tac Mag pouches. When I tuck my shirt in and really tighten my belt my 48” Larry Vickers waistline really pops.

SUP YA bastards?
Had a crazy dream last night that I was walking around down town, pocket carrying a Glock 43 without a holster. Kept having my hand in my pocket, finger on the trigger, and would apply just a little bit of pressure, and would get that crazy thrill feeling of doing it. Then I'd just keep adding pressure until I was about 4 lbs of pressure and would start tripping out after feeling like I just got crazy lucky that it didn't go off.

Do a lot of you store your ammo in your garage?

North Korea's junta would have to decide between reintegration and finding someone who isn't a relative of the family to assume leadership, or allowing his sister to take the mantle.
It really depends on how hungry they are for power, what assurances S. Korea would offer, and whether or not you can use his death as a road into unification. 75 years of communism is hard to break.Florida Crew as of 3/21

Basement in ammo cans with silica packs. How good your storage needs to be depends on how much ammo you're storing and for how long. Ammo in ammo cans in good conditions will last longer than loose ammo in bad conditions.
I've got 4050 rounds of Hornady 5.56 in taped up boxes in my basement that were purchased in February to be shot in June for a class.
I need to get more cans though. I've got 4k rounds of 9mm that are just chilling in the packaging out of cans on a shelf.Florida Crew as of 3/21

no, in a spare room mostly in ammo cans. Ammo cans probably not necessary but I like them.
Ordered 750 rds of browning 9mm 124gr fmj from Academy on Friday, and it's arriving tomorrow. Never shot it before but 16.6 cpr (after browning rebate) to my door seemed reasonable.☆ MissChill Appreciation Crew ☆ Owner ☆ Σ ☆

Went to Big 5 the other day just to check their ammo; no 9mm but plenty of 5.56/.223, 7.62, .40 S&W, .22 LR, .45 ACP, and various high caliber rounds.
Price gouged like a MFer though, some Remmington .223 I paid $300 for about a year ago (1000 rounds) was marked up to $480.Short cuts to success are often paved with lies.

Something worth pointing out as we explore the fun of this "where do you store your ammo" question is that what matters is the environment your ammo is in.
If your ammo is in an ammo can, then the environment of your ammo IS the ammo can. If you store your ammo loose packed in your basement, then the environment of your ammo is the basement. Some people have dark, cold, damp basements. Some people have basements that aren't damp at all. Some people have garages that hit 100 degrees and 90% humidity in the summer. Humidity and heat are really bad for ammo.
From Federal: Store reloading components and ammunition in a cool, dry place, protected from direct exposure to sunlight. If stored properly, loaded ammunition has a 10-year shelf life.

This ^ is why a garage in VT is going to be much different long term than say a garage in Phoenix area
Higher temperatures, if nothing else, will increase the rate of the chemical reactions that cause the powder to slowly lose its potency, eventually leading to a loss of proper function.
It will take awhile, but...it's happening, always...hotter it is, faster it's happening
