**Please read this entire post before replying or sending PM. Thanks!**
Since the other thread was just to ask about any forum restrictions regarding posting about giving ammo away, and as I've had a LOT of folks asking about it, I thought that it would be fairest to start a new thread to tell everyone what I have and how I'd like to give this away (based on clearing this through our resident legal expert and some good advice from long standing forum contributors). I kindly ask you to please read this through before jumping on posting your own request or sending a PM.
As I said in the previous thread, I am giving it away as I no longer have a need for any of these types of ammo. But what I'd really like to do is to give something to our OC community here and to possibly make some small impact upon those who really need the help the most.
In my mind the priorities for giving this away should be first for those who are working with our next generation of OC'ers -- the kids. So I'm hoping to hear from anyone who supports a program to provide gun education programs for kids. I think that the second priority should be for those in financial need, and for those with health issues (which probably also means that they may well have financial issues as well).
Here's where I'd like help from you -- our OC community: If you know of someone that fits the above priorities, let them know about this thread or perhaps even "speak for them" (I suspect that those that need the help the most may not speak for themselves, so both you and I can help them by you speaking for them). If you yourself don't fall into the above categories, I KINDLY ask that you then hold off on any of your own requests for ammo -- after I've heard from anyone fitting the above, I'll open up the remainder for first come kind of thing. But you can also help this OC community by not asking for ammo if you truly aren't in need as I'd like to help those who truly cannot afford to keep ammo in their defensive weapon or who can't spare the rounds needed to try to keep their defensive skills up. I believe that we have members that really have that need and I think that both you and I can help them with this. Fair?
Regarding how to get the ammo, all I ask is that you be able to make arrangements to come pick it up from me at my office in Virginia Beach (here during the day, or can arrange it on a weekend). Or perhaps we could work some sort of an "ammo railway" that could start with someone picking it up here and who is then able to move it on its way to the final recipient? (We've got some clever members here and think that we should be able to come up with a creative idea or two.)
Okay, here's what I have:
I bought all of the above as new (no reloads) and have had it for perhaps six months.
If you've made it to here I thank you for taking a moment to read this entire post, and I look forward to hearing from folks.

Okay, here's what I have:
- 7.62x39mm 124 gr HP WPA (Wolf Performance Ammunition -- Russian) -- quantity of 50 boxes of 20 rds per box, total of 1000 rds (this is AK-47 ammo)
- 9mm 124 gr Federal Premium Hydra-shok -- 1 box of 50 rds
- 9mm 115 gr Georgia Arms FMJ -- 5 bags total with 100 rds in each (sealed, as GA sells it) total of 500 rds (as these are sealed bags of 100 rds, can certainly split these up amongst more than one person)
- 9mm 124 gr Georgia Arms Gold Dot Hollow Point -- 1 bag of 50 rds (sealed, as GA sells it)
- 10mm 200 gr CorBon -- 1 box of 20 rds
- 10mm 180 gr FMJ -- source was either Georgia Arms or Cheaper Than Dirt (I don't recall which) -- 1 box of 500 rds (this is the sealed box of bulk ammo as it came and so it needs to go as one box)
I bought all of the above as new (no reloads) and have had it for perhaps six months.
