Whoohoo!
I’m rich I tells ya!
If you use a roll per day, you have bigger problems than the collapse of society.
and a “smooth” stone instead of paper.
We really don’t know how a collapse would turn out. It is true that ammo would certainly be more valuble as society breaks down. The use of ammo for hunting and protection from increased criminal activity appear to be rational reasons to stockpile.
However, stockpiling ammo by individuals to defend against a government hell bent on attacking its own citizens would not be effective unless there is also an organized structure that could unite resisting citizens. Otherwise, the government could pick us off one by one and we will have a series of Wacos and Idahos.
She ask her next door neighbor how much he had spent to prepare in case there was an emergency.
He said "$4.50 for a box of shotgun shells". She told him "you can't eat shotgun shells !".
His reply " If worse comes to worst I will shoot you with the shells and eat your food, if nothing happens I'll use them to shoot Skeet".
Once they find out you have gold and silver but don't have the means to keep it, they will take it from you.
People are also going to find out what they now consider a huge amount of gold and silver, really wont buy that much because the necessities of life will be inflated.
When your out of gold and silver then what do you do?
I'm with you.
You have the guns and ammo people will pay you gold and silver for it.
OUTSTANDING! You make ME look lightweight. LOL
“Shortly before Y2K a woman was carrying the extra $150 worth of groceries she had purchased into her house as emergency supplies.
She ask her next door neighbor how much he had spent to prepare in case there was an emergency.
He said “$4.50 for a box of shotgun shells”. She told him “you can’t eat shotgun shells !”.
His reply “ If worse comes to worst I will shoot you with the shells and eat your food, if nothing happens I’ll use them to shoot Skeet”.”
If someone threatened me like that I might shoot them on the spot.
You would be surprised how few really have any quality knives.
Brass and copper, too
The neighbor woman was anti-gun that much was true.
The guy told the story as a joke. I don't think that conversation ever took place.
But starving people, who knows what they might do.
Ya ought not reveal what’cha got, ol uncle sugar loves to monitor sites to get a pulse of the pop.
Keep your cards close to your vest.

>>In a SHTF situation, the government will clamp down severely using powers of the Patriot Act, FEMA, the National Guard, and executive orders from the President.
Which is why every little police department in east Podunk is being armed to the teeth with automatic weapons, body armour and even armored personnel carriers and such...it will all be used against the american people, not the islamic terrorists.
I think the other side if that is a good handgun is worth nothing if it’s locked in a safe and you need it
Don’t forget brass!
Well, that’s quite a different issue. If you need it, a good handgun is worth everything you own and ever will.
Careful. Your wife can use this same logic to justify buying jewelry.
That reminds me of the time a friend got into an argument over the phone with an employer who got so angry he said he was coming over with his 357 magnum. My friend said fine, he has a .22 rifle and will take him out before he gets within a block of his house.
Guns and Ammo are in the BASE asset class along with Food and Water.
Nahhhh. Her family used to own a jewelry store so she has plenty. Besides, she'd rather have me buy her a box of .380 ACP Talons than a crappy tennis bracelet any day.
