Here is something nutty. With the Iran crap,. the price
of ammo is gone crazy. Colleen called our distributors and half of them are already out. So Colleen ordered a couple thousand rounds of ammo today while she can still get it at a reasonable price. But she still paid quite a bit more. I guess people are thinking the Iranians are going to be attacking on foot. Apparently this started late last week and by about noon today most of our distributors were already out.
I hate to tell people to stock up now as this has to be a bunch of people freaking out over the slightest thing one can imagine. We have gone thru this before with shortages of everything including toilet tissue and even P-nut butter. But if you hear of extreme shortages of everything, you know what is going on.
After work, I plan to swing by and
get some extra 9mm and 10mm.
With all of the things going on, I do not see a huge sense of urgency about the situation. Then again, there are many who live in a bubble.
Last week when the US bombed Iranian targets I asked my students if you heard about what was going on with the US and the Middle East. What frightened me in a way was that no one heard about the military action.
They are on their cell phones all of the time but were not aware of a significant world event.
Maybe I need to get a year's supply of emergency food for the cabin?
What’s even more surprising is that most people in general
don’t have a clue what the Scripture tells us or WHO JESUS CHRIST Is!
We contacted our distributors and got some good and bad news
The gas prices aren't expected top go much farther. The main word there is MUCH. But ammo and powder prices are expected to head up within the next 2 weeks. I hate telling somebody to stock up as that usually means go overboard. But they say to expect ammo prices to go even higher and powder also. Most of our powder comes from Europe and Australia so we don't have a control over it. So do what you feel best. The only problem in buying when the prices are high is that it never goes down.
The average gas price across the country is $3.60. It's 3.85 here.
You got it right, Gary.
"Most of our powder comes from Europe and Australia so we don't have a control over it."
A sign of our screwed-up times.
