Buy lots of ammo in the past and continue to hoard it, either because you plan to resell it at inflated prices, or because your paranoia has no bounds.
I prefer to view myself as doing my civic duty when it pertains to some of the “prepper” stuff that I do. (Not near enough though I fear). By preparing ahead, I don’t add to the panic (nor need to wade into it).
I was at the store the other day and it seemed especially crowded and hectic. I mentioned it to the cashier - she said “these windy days [power goes out around here often then] brings everyone out”. It hadn’t even crossed my mind!
Is it just my paranoia, or is it something else that has made the ammo shelves at stores nearly dry?
