When it really happens: SHTF...

I can see the same all over the world. You’re right, unfortunately.
Here, school should start again in two weeks.
It has been shut down since the 24th or 28th of February!!!
But in the last couple days they’re noticing that they did not consider public transportation, the classes are too small for the number of kids and the required distance, etc...
Italy ordered 3 million new desks. 3 frigging million desks!!! With wheels...
I’m really desperate folks.
School here is only for the workers of the educational system. Our unions and the mostly left oriented politicians have destroyed it since ‘68 and now the pupils are more of a hindrance than the real “customers” of the system.
It is getting so adamantly clear, but the political backup the unions have is monstruous, so they still can make all the damage they want.
We would need a real “cultural revolution” here, non in the Chinese sense, obviously, but in the libertarian sense.
No way...

I have notice some interesting developments in the past week or so. First the gunshop, this past Friday it was Christmas at the shop. We received some 9mm Glocks, a Glock 26, two Glock 45s, and three Glock 19Xs. Within one hour all of them were sold. We stopped the waiting list and calls over the phone to purchase unless it the guns are shown on our social media web site. Primary service is to in store customers, Ammo is still critical, we only received two cases of 9x19mm and five cases of .223 Remington, no 5.56mm, i've gotten tired of educating people on the difference, so be it The 9mm is being held for any 9mm pistols that we have to sell so none is available for the walk-in hoarders. we are only permitting 3 boxes of .223 per customer as what we get is it until the next ammo shipment. We are also limiting the 12 gauge 00 Buck as well to 3 5-round boxes. The supply of tactical guns is still good plenty of Churchills and received some 12 gauge Steven 520 tactical shotguns, no AR platforms, Troy A4 Others. Still have the AR pumps but they are moving slowly as there is nothing else available at a reasonable price. Saturday lines were out the door at the shop. Had to place a sign at the door that no 9mm was available so they did not have to wait around for nothing. Training classes are filling up rather briskly. We are thinking about doing training after the store closes in the evening. I was talking to an "official" that the number of people requesting firearm permits have reached the point that the number of requests have totaled more than the number of requests in the previous two years!! And it is only the end of August. The gun control position in politics is starting to change for the better after all of these folks see what the state is doing to them to by defunding police, early release of prisoners, and encouragment to riot under the cover of peaceful protest, etc. There is general fear in the population of all walks of life of what is taking place. It seems that every new shooting or violent protest brings a new crop of gun buyers into the shop.
Secondly, I work on Sundays at a local rifle range as a RSO, this Sunday was a rather beautiful day with many shooter out. My die-hard core shooters were there but I did not get any of the younger crowd to shoot. all of my shooters were in the late 50 and 60's age bracket, shooting high powered rifles. Initially I thought they were getting ready for hunting season by zeroing their rifles. Just about all were zeroing their rifles in anticipation of troubled times! Additionally all were reloaders so ammo was not a problem for them. Things are getting very interesting to say the least.

I keep seeing videos of unrest, assaults, beatings etc. happening in the US.
That is really worrying.
What is even more so, is the feeling I’m getting over here, that there is a good portion of the politicians and the politically correct oriented stars, sports people, artists etc. who seem to be hoping to see the worst happen.
That is unacceptable. This means playing with people’s lifes for the own agenda in a way that shall not be tolerated.
We want to keep it unpolitical, so I’ll stop it here, but it is a real shame and I’m afraid that this will, like many stupid things of that kind, spill over to good old Europe...:help::sos::confused:

The situation remains grave but not serious, so I took the last couple days, with the family mostly out of town (I stayed behind with my youngest daughter, who had to make a lot of homework), to reload the reloadable.
9x21, 44M, 7,65x53, 30-06, 8 Mauser...
Long evenings and a couple hours in the afternoons relaxing and getting ready for armageddon:p
Lil’ Ginger by my side and chatting with me.

Saturday I’ll have the Argie stretch her legs and... not yet decided.

Sounds like a good life.

Our governor extended his emergency proclamation for another 90 days. We haven't been in an emergency for the last 90 days. Strictly political. Doesn't make much sense because the longer we are locked down the more votes are going to the other party. People are sick and tired of this.

Kids are going back to school and many schools are really failing them. They to to school for 3 hours doing coursework for half the courses one day and the other half the next. How is this educating them? At best they are learning only half the content. Every school is doing it's own thing. I have serious concerns for the youth during this event.

Same here, emergency extended until the end of October...

Well time for another episode of, "As The Gun World Turns". Firearms are still getting tough to get a hold of. We are down to Big frame S&W Revolvers and several single action pistols. Received two Glock 19 Gen 3 yesterday they did not last an hour. 12 gauge tactical shotguns are moving steadily. Ammunition situation is getting worse. Only one case of .223 Remington, .45ACP and 5.56mm to last us to the next shipment. So this ammo will rationed to one box per customer. Those folks buying a firearm in those calibers are given the option for three boxes of ammunition. We did get plenty of 12 gauge OO Buckshot which should last us a while. We only have several Churchills in 20 gauge and 12 gauge left. The Troy Pump rifles are moving slowly, the two 5.56mm are sold and one of the .300 Blackout sold as well which leaves us with a two .338 Federal and one .300 Blackout. Still no Troy A4 Others yet looking at more than 50 on order. Folks are not batting an eye lash at the price, we at selling them at MSRP. When we have have them its like, "Shut up and take my money." I am afraid the day of the cheap AR platform is over. I talk to several folks in the gun industry and their opinions are, the shortages will be with us long after our Presidential election regardless who wins. I was given the date of early 2022 at least. I got an interesting call yesterday from a ANTFIA supporter who threaten me. I told him come on over, I'll be your huckleberry. Bad, bad things can happen threatening a combat veteran and retired federal special agent. I guess I will have to start carrying a pistol at gunshop.

Be careful and aim straight, in case...

Hopefully the little sh!t stain gets a knock on the door from the local PD for making terroristic threats to a business.
