I have handguns I want, suppressors to cover most all of em.

Plenty of ammo and piles of reloading components. I think I am good there.

I have boxes and a full case of unopened AR mags. Working to up my 2011 and MP5 stash here and there.

A couple AR lowers just to be safe?

I wanna take advantage now. But I’m not looking to buy full guns to sell during the next panic.

I just don’t foresee needing much in the future. Maybe a couple more 5k packs of primers wouldn’t hurt.

Am I missing anything outside of the tunnel vision of ammo and mags?





Eight years to retirement! Just waiting!

You have more than enough. Use the money for something else. I’m dead serious.

Yeah, don't over-think it.

Since you reside in Wisconsin, it reminded me of this Sunday video from Tom Grieve (also WI resident) where he asked two thought provoking questions:
* what should you buy now that Dems control both WI House and WI Senate (also MI, MN, NV, and PA)?
* should you be transferring SBR, AOW, or Suppressor on 4473?

He doesn't give the answer and only gives some possibilities, but I found it thought provoking.

If Wisconsin has a pro-gun State organization, consider joining or donating to their efforts.

We need strong state efforts to buttress the National orgnizations.
A few local wins in the State House or State Senate can make a difference.

Depending how far down the rabbit hole you keep going…any interest in having your own thermal or night vision optics? Radios? Lights - both handheld and weapons-mounted? Slings, vests, plate/mag carriers, holsters?

Social breakdown can be achieved with relative ease now that almost everything can be hacked. Food and water supply, communications, transportation, etc - all systems which can and have been hacked.

If it ever does get bad locally, nationally, etc, you will at least have something valuable to barter. If you had it just for yourself, eventually a group will come for you. They will have Australian accents, and they will all drive crazy pieced-together vehicles which have flamethrowers, spearguns, machine guns, etc, all attached.

There may be an actual sweet spot to how much defensive equipment is best to stock, but being prepared is being prepared. All of our crystal balls are fuzzy, so the actual sweet spot is anyone’s guess.

Again, if the shtf and you are to help others or are in need, at least you have something valuable to barter. That goes pretty much with any supply.
