It`s interesting the media picks up on this, and they`ll try to use it to paint law-abiding gun owners in a negative light. Everyone should always be "stocked up" on ammo anyway, there should never be any "getting ready". If you`re serious about protecting yourself and your loved one`s, you`re always locked and loaded. Just please, please, don`t take the use of lethal force lightly. It`s not a game, and lethal force should always be absolutely the last resort, but you guys already know that anyway. www.yahoo.com/finance/news/not-just-toilet-paper-people-080011115.html |

Guns, ammo and over the counter medicines. I would think in a week to two this socialism approach to the virus will not be good. Large group of adults out of work. One wrong move by enforcement against innocent American patriots trying to run their business might start something bigger, like a world wide revolution. Specially the timing of spring. Lot of energy to release. This could become the beginning of what I visioned back on 7/11/03. Pray that this socialism ends quickly.

The trigger will be any blackouts of electricity or social media. Then you better get ready.

You talk about crazy! Coming through Plainfield and I thought what the heck I’m gonna stop by Bob‘s (Plainfield Guns)!
Jeremy had called me back and I’m on the list for one of the first Winchester wildcat 22 rifles when they get it.
So, I just wanted to touch base with him real quick. Walked in the place and you would think it was freaking Christmas 10 times over! I knew it had to be crazy by the number of cars in the parking lot. I would guess there’s 50 people in there and Bob said it’s gonna be a couple hour wait to get the paperwork processed if you’re purchasing a gun!

Honestly, is this kind of frenzy current gun owners adding to their options or is it really non-owners getting their first?
Hey, I am 100% for everybody owning a means of protection, but I much prefer they have enough knowledge of that means to be effective and not a hindrance.

It would be best of course for everyone to have training and be knowledgeable when they acquire firearms, but, the Second Amendment is their right too, whether they`re knowledgeable and proficient or not. |

If you stay ready you dont have to get ready.
That being said I did buy a new gun this past weekend...its a single shot 20 gauge. Plan to use it for rabbit hunting next winter providing im still alive.

If you don't load your own, you should.

It's getting a little silly. I try to buy a handful of ammo every so often. Went online to buy some 22lr and it's all sold out almost everywhere I look! What is left is like 12 cents a round... for 22!

I was buying Federal Ammunition 22LR 36gr Copper Plated, 550ct: every month last year for $21.34 out the door at our local Wally World. Did this just because the last shortage  ed me off. Vowed to not get caught low inventory on plinking ammo again. That's $0.0388 per trigger pull. Add that on to "several" bricks of various brands I forgot I had stashed behind some books, believe I'm good for awhile. Just forgot about the CMP sale of excess .22's a couple of years ago. Wound up buying 20 cases that contained "sealed" ammo. Each of those cases contained 5000 rounds. Yup, that's 100,000 of target ammo. Got out my calculator and figured out how much to ask for a 5000 rd. case so I could keep 2 cases for myself at no cost. Good friend of mine bought all those, he sold all at a small mark up so he could keep some for himself at no cost. He sold all those 85,000 in a weeks time. All recipients were happy campers. BTW those Federal's gave the smallest group at 50 yds.out of my CMP Remington 40X, comparing them to a half dozen other brands of .22 ammo. |

Just ordered 1200 rounds of CCI Subsonic .22 (#0056) for 6.9 cents a round delivered. CCI is always more expensive, so $5.99 for a box of 100 was a great price. It's the only .22 ammo I use, since I use a suppressor exclusively.
