Every couple weeks or so I recommend a few things such as movies, books, and an assortment of gear – all kinds of stuff. Some of these are related to survival & preparedness – while others are just stuff I like. Most are on Amazon but not all.
With the anti-gun rhetoric from the Left being spewed since Orlando guns and ammo sales are climbing. Obama just called for the establishment of a new assault weapons ban. I spent some time checking a few online dealers and found a few of their more popular selections sold out. There was still plenty of ammunition available and prices seemed decent – for now.
Call it panic buying or call it common sense. When the threat exists to take away or limit the ability to defend oneself – well – you go out and stock up.
My childhood best friend contacted me a few weeks ago. We see each other a couple times a year. He mentioned that he and his wife wanted to buy a couple guns. I asked why and he said – “The world is getting crazy.” He knows I’m a gun nut. Last week he bought a Glock 17 and just today he ordered a S&W AR. We are scheduled to get together beginning of July so we can do some training.
I have no idea his political beliefs. I have always avoided the topic as I was afraid it could affect our relationship. I will avoid the subject of politics but will certainly discuss gun control, governmental monetary policy, and the direction the country is going.
Are you doing anything as a result of the Orlando attack and gun control talk?

If you have been reading this weekly series you may have noticed a trend – guns & ammo.
I have made some strides over the past few months especially in food storage. My latest order from Emergency Essentials should be arriving this week. Still need to put back some more rice, beans, salt, sugar, etc. Freeze dried food is my main priority now for food stockpiling.
Here’s what I have done prepping this past week:
I sold off 4,000 rounds of CCI Mini-Mag .22LR and funded the purchase of a used Ruger SR9 9mm pistol. A few days later I traded it plus $200 for an AR-15. The AR only had a total of 30 rounds shot through it. I know the history and build as a friend of mine built it. I’ll post a picture soon.
……and yes, another gun.
Local Cabela’s is having a huge 2nd Amendment sale. Went in to check things out and found an unadvertised special – Century Arms RAS47.

I love the AK-47 and its variants. Drawback is this is another caliber and magazine type I need to stock. That’s fine. I have been needing to increase my long gun count so this helps(in addition to the AR already mentioned).
280 rounds of Tula 122 grain 7.62 x 39mm rounds for the aforementioned RAS47. Paid $4.96 for each box of 20, Best price I have seen in years.
Added 2 jars of peanut butter to the freezer. Totals up to 10 I believe.
Went to the local Dollar Tree and bought men’s deodorant, 2 women’s, and 5 tubes of triple antibiotic.
