By April 2009, DH had acquired a CCW license and a Walther p22 .
By June 2010, I had my CCW, and we had purchased a 38 snub nose, a Colt 45, two Ruger LCPs (those are our CCW firearms-we just put laser lights on them last night :-) ), a Henry rifle, and several thousand rounds of ammo.
We intend to get an AR 15 and a shotgun, ASAP.
For Valentine's Day, I received a CCW purse-that's a purse with a side compartment into which you slide a hand gun. It's real red leather-top that for a romantic gesture. :-)
No prizes for guessing what triggered this frenzy of "stockpiling" weapons.:-(
It wasn't even so much BHO and what he said/did, as what his followers (or perhaps worshipers would be the more apt term) have said, done, and stated they intend to do).
We live in a small town of 20,000, in a mostly rural county, in a largely rural, low population state (MO).
We aren't as well off as someone living in the country, like you, but we're a helluva lot better off than if we were still living in KC, Omaha, or Miami-never mind a major city in a blue state.
I anticipate a bloodbath in the major blue state (and some red state) cities some time between summer 2011-winter 2012. Whether the bloodbath will be at the hands of roving Entitlement Thugs or will be committed by government forces is the only thing I wonder about.But I do agree something is going to trigger major trouble : Complete economic collapse? BHO not getting reelected? BHO calling off elections and declaring martial law? Some racial incident sparking protests that turn into a riot? Something's coming....
I agree with you. This whole thing is simmering, just below view. I also think that both sides are simmering...I cannot recall that at any time before to this degree in my lifetime.
I had this feeling from the moment that bozo was elected....something is going to blow, and right soon.
In November, 2008, I owned an 870, and a Ruger 10/22. In March, 2010, I added a Ruger SR9 to the pile. In September, 2010, I got my CCW, and carry said Ruger darn near everywhere I go. In October, 2010, I added a Ruger 22/45 MK3 to the pile, and in January, 2011, another Ruger 10-22. Add to this the requisite several thousand rounds of ammo...equally distributed among the various calibers represented. Next, I am working on DW CCW...and then a .380 will be added to the pile.
Something wicked this way comes.....i agree
