What's goin on
Eric Krewson:
I have around 100# of lead, at least 15# of Goex black and enough flints to last a lifetime plus I know how to knap more.
I have stockpiled ammo over the the last few years after the 22 bullet wakeup call a couple of years ago. I don't have much 9mm because I let all the ladies who come over who want to learn to shoot use my Taurus G2C.
Anyway, I have bows, I have flintlocks and enough modern stuff. They may take the modern stuff but I doubt if they will take my flintlocks. If I saw that on the horizon they would all be broken down into an unrecognizable pile of parts, I built them and could do it again with the parts.
Trapper Rob:
A friend of mine works at Wal-Mart he said one of the store's got all there ammo stolen so they pulled it all off the shelves

I understand how well the black powder gun works as a survival tool, but yall should maybe consider a pellet gun too. You can carry 500 rounds in your hip pocket, shoot a 22 caliber pellet 1300 fps, and it required no powder at all, and as a result are very quiet. They can take any game smaller than a deer and maybe even a deer too if you had to try. But realistically, you won't be taking much deer in these situations. Squirrel, rabbit, and smaller game are easier harvests. anyways, thats my case I make for a pellet gun, if which I have 3.
Marc St Louis:
Yes I have made black powder before, it's not that hard to do. Hard to find potassium nitrate up here now
WhistlingBadger:
My dad reloads and he's commented on the difficulty of finding components, too.
