I expected some panic type buying, too, but never dreamed it would be like this.
Guns are in short supply in many areas, and the wait time for background checks is much longer than usual.
Ammo is being limited by stores, even in states that are gun friendly, just to keep the supply going.
BTW, pressure canning meats works great and you never have to worry about freezer burn or no electricity.
I like the idea of this site.
We are drowning in books, not just paperbacks.
This could be a godsend, unless of course, mr. mm orders more.
I could check, but what do you think of Orange Man Bad these days?
Not trying to be uncaring but there is still food stuffs even if its not our first or maybe second choice by the time the hoarders get through.
In my area, some stores are open one hour early for seniors, those with health challenges, etc. Some stores will even shop for you to drive by and pick up.
Im with you on that goats milk and cheese though, its only fit for goats (or kids!)
I went to local Albertsons (Orange County, ca) last night to pickup hubby prescription. The bread delivery had just arrived, they were unloading bacon/sausage/hot dogs etc..
But no toilet paper! Fruit, vegetables were scarce but it was late.
Happy to grab some bread, bagels & bacon.
They did have milk, OJ & eggs too.
We bought a grain mill and several hundred lbs of wheat berries vacuum sealed in mylar bags in early Feb.
I miss having My HEB !!! Nothing like it in NC. The Meats, Produce, etc...
Stay Safe and Take Care.
Thank You for Your Service.
Have you ever owned a gun before?
What kind of grain mill if you don’t mind my asking?
I can tell you that the local Cabela’s was sold out of handguns last week. Popular caliber ammo is gone everywhere around Northern Nevada.
Yes, shotgun.
And you’re considering a long gun or hand gun?
Is that something we import? (the ammo)?
Or import the ingredients to make it?
Ie, has there been a massive run on ammo or just a moderate one combined with supply chain failure?
Not sure, perhaps just another shotgun to get folks off my lawn if they come for my beer stash.
Ah.
shotguns are underrated for home defense.
People run to get the snazzy guns usually. The ‘looksie’ ones.
I know it's been said but I'll repeat it - it isn't the disease, it's the crazies who are the problem. If you still have the shotgun, buy ammo. Actually getting your new gun at this point is a project of several days at best. Make sure there is ammo available for it - buy the ammo when you give them the form if you can. Your mileage will vary greatly depending on where you are. Best to you.
