Abstract:
An ammunition holder fits into a vehicle cup-holder, for organizing gun-shot shells and rifle cartridges in a pattern of open-topped, closed-bottom bores in the top of the holder. The shells and cartridges are held in separate, spaced bores, so that they do not touch and so that they are individually removable by lifting up on the exposed top ends of the shells/cartridges. The ammunition holder is slidably received in the cup-holder, preferably without tools, adhesives, or fasteners, and the shells and cartridges are also slidably received in the holder without fasteners or other obstacles to removal. The shells and cartridges do not hang from the holder but rather stand upright and loose in the bores, resting on the floor walls of the bores. The bores may be sized in length so that the top, exposed ends of the shells and cartridges protrude different distances above the holder, thus, creating a three-dimensional arrangement of shells and cartridges that is convenient for recognizing and accessing the desired shells and cartridges. With the ammunition holder(s) in the cup-holder(s) between the front seats of the pick-up truck or other vehicle, the driver and/or passenger may quickly access and select the desired type and size of ammunition cartridge, remove it with one hand, and load it in a gun for use.
