And how did people fair with their “food and ammo” in the Great Depression I?

In the Great Depression people with good friends and solid families and tight church communities did okay.

Many firearms and much ammunition were for sale or trade during the Depression--very cheap.

During Great Depression I there weren’t gangs of urban yoots robbing, beating and killing people just for fun.

My grandfather used guns and ammo, usually a shotgun with rocksalt, to shoot public works employees, aka shovel leaners, out of the family orchard. They used the fruit to make illegal alcohol to sell for money, which they used for food. They sold the alcohol to those in the upper level of Barberton, Ohio, government to ensure that they wouldn't get caught!
