There is a "Lowes" in the town my buddy lives in, along with 2X4's and faucet washers they also sell Remi 870 shotguns, Winchester rifles and the ammo that both require. On the other hand depending on who was brave enough a hardware store has many self defense options, a circular saw blade can do nasty things when used as a frisbee,a bit of duct tape wrapped around the safety mechanism of an air nailer give you a nice semi-automatic flachette launcher, and nothing beats a nice 5 gallon bucket of Muriatic (hydrochloric) acid.
