Wisdom from a cookie.

 Some men dream of fortunes. Others dream of cookies.

Hoplophobes

 Auntie gets a community newspaper put out by the large remaining purveyor of birdcage liner AKA THE Plain Dealer. To my joy this edition contained this months flyer for a local chain of sporting goods stores. On the front page one of the items is a picture of a Mandlorian blaster by SIG!. The description sounds like it's an AR-15 of some type. Looking at the rest it looks like they had to replace every AR15 and AR10 with Mandalorian blasters. The store's website has a PDF copy of the add and no such obfuscation is present.

Also in this ad a M1A and a pellet MP5. I guess the microbrains at the PD are only afraid of Stoner inspired styling.

Personal commentary - Pie

 A piece of pie dropped. Made a bit of a mess. Had to stop myself because I was seriously considering eating that slice. 

Had - to - stop - myself.

Told myself I am an adult. I can get ANOTHER slice of pie. It's MY pie and I don't have to share it.

AND today I had pie for breakfast. 

Because sometimes "Because I can" is a valid answer.

 You should always be doing that which you cannot do, in order to learn how to do it. 

I changed it around a bit. The engrish was making my eyes twitch. 

Your lucky numbers are 24 17 19 47 48 8

Comoddity investment- An experiment.

There is something to be said by buying durable goods now before the value of your currency is inflated away. Ponder:

There is a bunch of surplus revolvers getting imported. Online store had LLAMA Martial .38spl for around $300. These are a Spanish licensed copy of the S&W Military and Police revolvers. They are similar to the model 15.

Revolver                          $300

100rds .38                         $50

Basic holster and

two HKS speedloaders     $50

So for around $400 you could assemble a solid basic self defense kit. You could easily make other choices to better fit your wants and budget. 

Ruger Security9 9mm with two magazines  $300

100 rds 9mm                                                       $35

Basic holster                                                    $20-35

Additional 15rd magazine                                $30

OR

Mossberg Maverick 88 12ga  Two barrel kit     $260

100rd 12ga #7 shot                $30

25rd OObuckshot                   $30

Sling and swivels                    $20

Do I expect to make money? Outside of mad max/zombies! no. 

Would I expect to loose money? If I bought new guns and am now selling what is now "used" that's possible. I have seen PANIC! pricing on the Ruger handguns from a local dealer at $450-500.
