Like so many things in todays world. It's good practice to have a backup plan. Sometimes there is a thin line between being a pessimist and being a realist. Water well, garden, extra this and that. Extra ammo? How much is enough? I asked the sheriff here about ammunition in homes and he said they did not care. However, the fire department does. MAkes sense. I wouldn't want to fight a fire in a house full of live ammunition. I think I was born 200 years too late. Ed B
