Well crap. I stocked up on 9mm. I reckon I should get some .22 even though I don’t have a rifle of that caliber.
I moved my entire retirement to gold and silver. Have some coins on hand. I have lots of tobacco and chocolate for barter.
Hey, G.I. - you got any nylons?
Even here in Alaska, .22LR is most popular and practical for small game up to and including our Sitka black tails. For the things you need a gun for where I live, harvesting wild meat or bear protection, a 9 is next to useless.
Granted, If you are shooting at something other than food, but smaller than a bear...
How UnAmerican. In fact, my ancestors just manifested to voice their unreserved disapproval and vigorously shake their fingers to heap shame upon you.
Even pacifists keep one of these around.
