Do prices go up, or does the dollar go down? It really doesn't matter. If you see inflation coming, buy commodities. These concepts are way more simple than people understand. If you buy silver, for example, and silver doubles, did you make any real money? That depends on only one real variable. If the dollar did anything less than get cut in half, you lost money relative to that metric. Just because you got more dollars does not mean you got more money! But hedge yourself across a number of possibilities so that when/if the dollar dwindles/collapses you have way more dollars to show for it. Way more cheaper dollars is worth a lot more than way less cheaper dollars.

Probably pointless to start on ammo, but definitely not pointless to start on silver. SLV, bullion, or coins. Back up the truck!

Under the law of agency, in no way does hiring someone for the job eliminate potential liability. Lawyers are disgustingly creative. In this case, defensive response to an attack might be more professionally handled, but liability exposure is not extinguished. If the SHTF, litigation WILL follow!

Still available?

This looks like a great source of info on this topic: https://minnetonkaorchards.com/how-to-make-blackberry-wine/ When all's done, let us know where the party will be!

Me too. I think I've got a couple of gen 1 LCPs and one LCP2. Definitely gonna lose 1 or 2 or 3.

How many miles?

Great news in the LCP world! The LCP Max in .380 is just now becoming available. Same size as the LCP2, but standard mag is 10+1 and you can also get a 12+1. MSRP is $449. I just reserved one for $369. Gonna load it up with the new Federal Hydra-Shok Deep ammo, which is revolutionary for .380. Check out the reviews on LCP Max and the Federal ammo. The gun writers are going crazy over both. Now we can have a true pocket gun with 11 or 13 rounds of great performing defensive ammo.

To paraphrase an old TV series name from 1957-1963 : "Need Gun -- Should Travel." !!!!

SR22 is a great shooter and just an all around fun piece.

DUMB ASS, granted. But Chicago criminalizes that, and that is wrong. And the cost to defend being a DUMB ASS is immense. And that is wrong. Why is sacrosanct Chicago not subject to all of the normally recognized laws of our country that protect our citizens, including the Bill of Rights?

The picture is reversed. I can't find a picture of him (without a hat, which is a challenge) where he didn't part his hair on the LEFT side. FWIW......

Well, for one thing, gains on gold and silver are subject to federal income tax on gains, and state income tax on gains (in states which have income tax.) On what other assets do you pay a sales tax when bought, and an income tax on gains when sold? Should we charge sales tax when you buy a stock, or bond, or mutual fund?

Hey Doug, we were on a road trip and I didn't catch your 4th of July message until just now. Hope you had a great holiday and that all is very very well with you!

And while we're at it, remove the sales tax on gold and silver!!!! Can't believe I gotta pay sales tax on coins bought even on the Internet.

Google this: Honda Rebel 500. I'm thinking about one of these to replace my BMW R1100RS which is just too much bike for this old guy. BTW, it's a 1994 w/ showroom looks and under 15,000 miles if anyone's interested......

I've got the PC9 with iron sights, shooting with Glock mags. Very fun. This gun just feels great period.

as of 1:42 today June 23. Also .223 https://palmettostatearmory.com/ammo-inc-124-gr-tmc-9mm-ammunition-200-round-range-pack-9124tmc-a200.html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=daily_deals&utm_campaign=20210623&utm_term=morning&utm_content=51655104684

Welcome to this great state!

Glad it worked out. [I got into this conversation at the end.] You don't EVER want to get anywhere near even the hint of a scent of a notion of anything that can go however remotely into a straw purchase. If that goes wrong, your life is messed up. And it's so much easier for the good guys to mess with you than actually catching a real bad guy..

I agree with your premise, but there are attorneys that seriously specialize in this stuff. I would say ---talk to two attorneys and you'll get at least three opinions. I have a law degree. That doesn't qualify me for anything. It just means I know a whole lot about a bunch of stuff that probably doesn't matter to almost anyone. This group of us has more specialized knowledge than any average attorney, as in WAY more knowledge. We put way too much faith in the "get the opinion of an attorney" concept. The average attorney has NO IDEA about firearms or any of the issues surrounding them. So unless you can engage a an attorney specialist in this field, you're wasting your money. If you just hire Joe Bloe, or Jane Bloe you're just paying for them to get (barely!) educated. IMHO

Same here too. [USCCA]

Like some of you have said, I like the Ruger LCP for tight concealment and the Ruger LC9S when I have a bit more room. Both great guns!

Love the LCP, especially with the new Federal .380 Hydra-Shok Deep Premium 99 grain ammo. It's the only .380 ammo to ever pass the FBI 12 inch penetration test. Very hard to find, I got mine after being on a long waiting list at sgammo.com.
