When it really happens: SHTF...

I had another interesting "progressive" at the gun shop yesterday. He thought that he could buy a gun with his driver's license. I explained to him that he was lucky that it only takes 4 to 6 weeks to get the necessary NJ firearms ID card to purchase a shotgun due to the process being put on line. Previously it would take 4 to 6 months if not more when manual paperwork was required. Out of curiosity, i asked him why at this time was he looking to buy a firearm with when this virus had created a buying panic. He said, "Well, you cannot shoot a virus but when there started to be food shortage that's when I knew it was time to buy something for self defense." He stated that he had never own a gun in his life but now it was time to think things differently. He still believe in the requirements to buy a gun. I said OK, but what do you do before you get your ID Card and things start to get out of hand? I told him that the average gun owner is always prepared for any possible natural or man-made disaster with a bit of food stockpiled and a means of protection. He left the shop reflecting on that thought.
