Your worries may be genuine about any normal, upstanding American citizen being pencil whipped into a criminal at any time. For me, there is something greater to answer to than the bureaucracy......and that is God. God is who I will have to ultimately answer to. Don't mean to force my religious views, but even if one doesn't believe in God.....we all have to answer to ourselves for our actions at the very least. Living with our consequences of our decisions or actions is really the only thing we have to worry about in the future. Let your conscience be your guide. I hope this eases some of your concerns.

Ram Rod, I see your point. Being of the Catholic faith I usually put most things in God's hands for He will ultimately decide how this is all going to turn out. I'll just do my part to support the constitution and our sport and go on living my life. Packinnova makes a interesting point about outlawing sex with my wife which supports what you said. I feel somewhat better now. Thanks!

In preparation of a possible Obama/Biden Presidency are you stocking up on items that we know they will ban or heavily tax? If so what?

Ram Rod · October 25th, 2008, 12:00 AM

Well, not exactly depending on the election...but because I really need one. My 870 is locked up on payment options. 7+1 might be evil...you never know.

I have the basic guns I want/need...I've been stocking up on ammo...lots of it.

You forgot to put the option of not changing any habits or buying anything additional.

I checked other because I am not doing anything differently.

I am sending the wife and one or two other ladies will go with her to their Texas CHL class in Nov. But it has nothing to do with the election.

I'm not so much worried about the socialists coming to power, but the years after. Personally, I'll be a "lucky chosen one" and will always have a ammo supply, so I'm not that worried for myself. But I am buying what I can anyway, fo rthe mess they will leave in their wake.

I've been ready.

I have what I want for now as far as weapons go. However, I have been stocking up on ammo. I think this is an area of further attempts to hinder civilian firearms use. I started out stocking up on the cheapest practice ammo I could find. Now I'm working on higher quality defensive ammo.

svinfinity45 · October 25th, 2008, 03:02 AM

I've never had a SHTF supply of ammo, but all the poles lately pointing towards that certain presidential candidate has made me start one.

I would rather be that guy that the town secretly knows where to get ammo from, than one of people who knows that guy...

new 1911, new "tactical" remington 700, new acog, cases of ammo, more high cap mags, another holster, AR accessories, reloading press, etc. Preparation beats procrastination...buy now! it helps the economy :p
