When it really happens: SHTF...

Well-- The riots are getting closed to home. Second night of burning and looting in Philadelphia which just across the river from us. The PA governor called up my old National Guard unit for riot control. Needless to say being so close to home, the gunshop is close to being out of firearms again due the current wave of first time buyers. They are buying anything that shoots. We received 30 Troy A4 Other firearms in 5.56mm and we sold everyone in two days!! We had our first shipment of 12 Glock 17 and 19s in 5 months. They were gone in two hours!! Ammo is still tough to get a hold of. The local distributor is holding back on the ammunition as they are ear marked for the police in event of riots which are happening. We are only selling ammunition with the guns we sell. The hoarders have to go elsewhere. The prices on the internet is a new form of highway robbery. I recently seen a case of 500 9mm 115 grain ball re-manufactured rounds go for $999.00 US dollars!! We are still selling PMC 9mm 115 grain for $18.75 per box of 50. Some customers are upset that I will not sell them ammo by the case or single box which are reserved for gun purchases. I usually tell them, "your lack of planning and preparation on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part." I have even advise the owner not to sell regular ammo to hoarders and only sale the Critical Duty or Critical Defense rounds for self-protection to the walk in hoarders. As it is the only rounds that can be used for self-defense in NJ.
