Well, I DO have my SKS and 1,000 rounds. I was thinking of being emotionally prepared to actually use it.
I’m quite serious.
I have an associate who had to engage in a terminal bit of home defense. He was torn up for a good while. It is no joke.
If it's a fixed-magazine SKS, be sure you have plenty of stripper clips for it. If detachable mag, be sure you have at least a dozen mags. In any scenario where you may find yourself having to discourage a mob from approaching, you will find yourself going through ammo very quickly
The Korean shop owners in the LA riots would fire a few rounds at the ground to make the mob back up, then a minute later have to fire a few more rounds. Those who ran out of ammo before the night ended had to retreat and watch their places burn
A thousand rounds is very much on the low end in such a scenario
