When it really happens: SHTF...

Friday, when I went buying at our supermarket, I thanked all workers for keeping on the good work.
They were very surprised and also really glad that someone noticed and cared to tell them.

Simple kindness.That is the attitude that will get us thru. Underlying preparedness for those who have none (kindness) is in order as well.

As for what I'm doing, watching all the ammunition in the country dry up before my eyes

Made the mistake of trying to organize some ammo in a safe yesterday. Talk about exponential spread. I still can't see how it all fit before removal.
Odd how it grows when you remove it.

Construction wouldn't be struggling if the Governor didn't shut us down. I personally have work as do most other companies. But under threat of losing our licenses and being fined or put in jail, it isn't worth the risk at this point. If this goes on for more than a few weeks however, that's a different story. Construction is on the list of essential businesses at the federal level.

As for what I'm doing, watching all the ammunition in the country dry up before my eyes along with most of the accessories needed like magazines and clips. I did find a seller of 7.62x39 this morning but it will be four weeks before I get it. Tried installing a steel magazine that I had here already in my SKS but it was a piece of crap and restored the original. Ordered two plastic promags today. Ordered 10 Garand clips last night, they actually were not hard to find. AK and AR magazines are all gone. I have a few, just have to find them.

Anti gunners are starting to panic and are trying to use this crisis and the massive ammo purchases to try to legislate the sale of ammunition. They want all purchasers to be licensed and for each purchase to go through a background check. Isn't going to go anywhere but it is what it is.

All the counties directly to the east of ours has been placed under shelter in place orders. Almost sounds the same as what we are under now as you can still go out for essentials and exercise but you are supposed to practice social distancing. That is something which we seem capable of doing extremely well. No one is pushing around, everyone stays clear of everyone else. Not sure if it is a natural sense of individualism, distrust, paranoia or actually listening to the government for once in our lives but we are doing it. Except for the damn kids. They still think it's party time.

Surprisingly there is a lot of surplus 7.62x25 ammo on the market for the Tokarev; J&G Sales and Classic Firearms seem to have plenty. For commercial ammo that's a different story. I like to buy from TargetSportsUSA, one of the few places that will still ship to me as a C&R holder in California, two weeks ago I put an alert on some of the Sellier & Bellot 7.62x25mm Tokarev Ammo so I was made aware that they got some in stock. I received the text alert 7:45 AM after a conference call I logged into my account, about 8:30 AM and only 1 box was left. Hardly worth ordering because of the shipping cost, so I ordered it and a bunch of PPU 200Gn Match 8MM Mauser Ammo that I needed anyhow.

And that will be our undoing, by the way...there's older ones that are of the same mind set.

Tell me about it Jim, the utter fuc*whits spent last weekend partying here, the government has had no choice but to react and as a result, the whole of the UK has just gone into complete lockdown....

I (and many others) will struggle to keep our businesses operational and viable over the next three months...

Just 'so many' retarded Millennials (and older idiots), who can't grasp the gravity of what's right in front of them!

Tokarev ammo I have sufficient quantities. I apparently bought a box of commercial every time I went to Cabelas and bought hundreds of rounds of surplus when I ran across it. I have a PPS-43 in addition to the M57 and it's fun to shoot so I was buying all I could find locally and only took it to the range the one time. I never bought a spam can but I have enough. I did order a couple of extra magazines today. Nice to not have to take the time to load 35 rounds in a spot.

My weak spots were of course the two calibers that are the most effective, AR and AK ammo. Those I ordered also.

We haven't taken drastic measures yet. They'll wait until it's too late...

Just to teach us all how it is possible not to learn from others. I think one country should have sufficed in terms of mistakes, but I’m slowly starting to think that we only took the lead in a worldwide competition...
