That rifle + available ammo supply would become much more valuable if the World Goes Sideways. Can be handed out to a valued neighbor who has the capability but doesn't have the tool. Force multiplier.<br /><br />Shotguns are very common firearms, but most hunters might have a box or two of birdshot in their possession. If a person had some buckshot or slugs to be traded or sold to help them out, they would be very grateful.

Get good and accurate with a optic equipped .22 and some type of sound management and a few "mobility" kills could discourage ne'er do wells to take their business elsewhere. This does not replace the more powerful rounds. Just a nice supplement to give you options.

As usual, the state legislature didn't take away the right to bear arms, or the right of retailers to sell ammo. It just made the process of selling ammo so onerous that Wally World just said "To hell with it" and stopped selling ammo. This is how the Left works...

You see guns were forbidden for the most part and ALL Legally Owned ones were confiscated just before the Civil War kicked off.<br /><br />They don't have to go door to door, friends. A simple betrayal call in from a "Concerned citizen" could get your power, credit, internet, cell service and employment turned OFF until you turned the forbidden items in.<br /><br />OR Maybe because they have all these wonderful (need I add a sarc tag here?) "Undocumented Citizens" of military age, fit and male (where is the refugee wives and children, eh?) they could kick off a door to door campaign so many have salivated about.<br /><br />Real trouble is nearby. Soon today with all its troubles will be known as "The Good old days".<br /><br />Protect your family and trusted friends, they are worth more than gold when things go sidewise.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329176313885665469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-43635585556252133852023-05-23T14:23:29.038-05:002023-05-23T14:23:29.038-05:00The supply disruption on the metals themselves let...The supply disruption on the metals themselves let alone any nefarious supply disruptions are worrysome.<br /><br />BTW, on that same note if you're planning on buying anything made from 300 series stainless (like appliances or countertops) now is the time.

I stopped when I realized I had over 500k rounds. I also reload all the calibers of guns that I have. I shoot about 6k rounds per year and 95% is 9mm. I also think Divemedic's limits are a bit low.

It worked fine. <br /> I don't shoot as regularly as I used to but still try to buy a box or two of assorted calibers whenever I am at a store that sells ammunition. It is slightly more expensive than buying in bulk online but it incentivizes the local business to keep stocking ammunition.Ed Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06500469176645997200noreply@blogger.com
