[QUOTE="forindooruseonly, post: 1292220, member: 13718"] Watch "The Road" for a good depiction of how crappy life will be after something apocalyptic. People can hide away all the ammo in the world, but their money would be better spent on other things already mentioned - water treatment systems and some type of food and power supply. And then you are rooted to wherever you are at. Then, and only then, would lots of ammo be handy, but lets face it, defending yourself and property would be near impossible against a determined, starving horde of people. Survival would require cooperation with others. Unless, of course, you plan to go on a murderous rampage and try to take what you need by force. But then you are limited to foraging and raiding, neither of which would do much for your chances at survival on the long term. Just my opinion. Good luck when it happens. Issues of political turmoil and local lawlessness are another issue. Some kind of temporary, if violent, situation and with some functioning government or larger social apparatus working to restore order creates a different problem. But that is not a EOTW event. If I lived in a violent third world setting, and having seen too many cases might equals right in history, I would be darned sure I was the best armed as I could be. [/QUOTE]
