Actually, last time I bought ammo at [unnamed store], I didn't even get the permit out of the clear sleeve in my wallet. The guy said "That's OK - I see a fingerprint and green.", which is the color of the permit.
In the event of a total meltdown of society, that gold's value will be determined by whoever gets their gun on target first. My intuition tells me it won't be you.
In the event of a total meltdown of society, that gold's value will be minimal. Food and tools to get food will have far more value than a pretty metal that is too soft to make tools to get food.
Turn out the lights. You may be the last one. And yeah, that ammo business doesn't start 'til next year.
You could use a bar of it to club someone over the head. Perhaps add weight to the end of a baseball bat with some of it. *snicker*

Actual conversation I had with one of my customers in Masschusetts:
Carol: So what did you do this past weekend? Me: Oh, I went to a gun show. Carol: Gun show! What's at a gun show? Me: I was mildly surpriseD at the number of crew-served weapons there. Carol: What's a 'crew served weapon'? Me: A weapon that takes a crew to operate. Like a light machine gun or a mortar. Carol: What is someone going to do with such a thing? Me: Er, nothing. Carol: They've got to be doing SOMETHING with it! Me: Ah, no. It just the having of it. To own it. Carol: I don't BELIEVE that! They're up to SOMETHING! Me: Well, I guess I can tell you. Some are getting ready for the showdown. Carol: I GODDAMN KNEW IT!!!
Don't forget some skin from the back of your neck, saliva sample, and psychiatrist's report.
I have heard it said in that total breakdown .22rf ammo will be the new gold. You can feed your family with a .22 and not attract much attention to yourself. I could tell you how to make it virtually silent ... but that would be illegal.

Cheri, If you are the last American to leave, please take the U.S. Flag with you. You can leave the Calif flag with the Mexicans.

Agreed. OTOH,in that meltdown,I can see certain groups murdering to get gold and diamond jewelry("bling").
Slight correction:
In Texas there are no pistol permits period. There is no firearm registration of any kind, nor do you need the state's permission to purchase one or many firearms.
Telling someone how to make a suppressor is not illegal - heck, there are examples all over the internet. You can even BUY a legal suppressor (ATF transfer tax of $5.00 applies). What's not kosher is to MAKE your own.
I am in PA so we don't yet need a permit to buy ammo as is required in the PR of NY and PR of NJ. Why do you folks keep on hiring politicians who think that way?
Totally agree. It is amusing to shoot one once. Buying one is the mine is bigger than yours thing bragging rights thing for people who don't have a life. Same reason why people need giant McMansions and giant fluffed up trucks used as a one passenger vehicle.
Mine too.
Because the thought of someone opening fire in a subway because he got brushed the wrong way is far too scary. We actually have cops that do a good job of keeping us safe.
Um, I'm in Texas and I have a Texas CHL in my wallet.
Er, I have a giant truck as a one passenger vehicle... I also tow and haul stuff with it.
Thats why I am sure "heybub" is a bored housewife who just writes a lot of dramatic but totally inaccurate nonsense to fill in the day.
This appears to be the governing laws in Texas:
Concealed Handgun Statutes & Related Weapons Laws
I see both sides of the permit issue. But let's set that aside for a moment. I have a question for you.
Hypothetical situation: Your female creature looks out the window and notices that a male neighbor is aiming a scoped rifle out from HIS window, aimed at YOUR window. Cops are called. Rifle isn't loaded, and the neighbor says "I don't own binoculars, so I was just using the scope to check out the pretty lady across the street."
No law was broken. Cops are frustrated, but there's nothing they can do. Go with this as the truth for the moment and tell me what an intelligent gun safety instructor would say about the situation.
No macho bar talk. Just the facts. I know it seems odd that I'm asking you this, but please roll with it for now.
