That lasts about as long as a Democrat winning an election.

I have not lacked for ammo. However, I have ended up loading ammo with powders or bullets that were nowhere close to my first choice.Jericho941 wrote:Must be nice.Netpackrat wrote:I haven't lacked for ammo to shoot through any of the shortages.Jericho941 wrote: In theory, anyway.

The trouble with survivalists is that they all use the same plan.

Society exists because we make it. It collapses if we let it. Who has a plan with their neighbors? Local police? Fema?

Planing with neighbors is a good idea if they are up to it, same with the PD though if you have the wrong kind of PD this might just get you unwanted attention. Working with FEMA? Not for all the black helicopters in the world.
