Agreed, the author did mention that 9mm was the cheapest ammo for EDC, something a first time gun buyer may feel is important.

I think panic buyers like these will just put their newly purchased handgun in storage with the stockpile of TP they bought.

I keep company with a very small group of shooters that regularly practice carbine and handgun tactics. We have been having discussions about all the panic buying going on now, how 99.9% of the buyers are going to make their purchase and then put the gun in a safe or closet or under the bed and never really get practiced with it.

We are particularly talking about the new AR-15 purchaser. In a SHTF scenario, which is more real now than any time in my lifetime, it would be nice to have neighborhood/block squads who are safe and practiced in the handling of their guns. I know I wont be able to do street guard 24/7, and I’d like to know that the other guy out there isn’t slinging his AR for the first time.
