Once you have procured a firearm, or ideally several firearms, your next course of action is to adequately supply yourself with the ammunition you’ll need. It’s been said that there’s nothing more useless than an unloaded gun, and when someone is trying to break your door down that is certainly true. You need the firepower to sustain you through whatever we have to go through, and when you have firearms and an abundance of bullets it provides a sense of security that will put you in a better frame of mind to survive what we have to go through.
Bullets always have a sense of scarcity surrounding them. There have been times in the past where ammunition is hard to come by. There have been times when I’ve wanted to stock up and the only thing you can find from popular retailers is 22 caliber ammunition.
Obviously, you should use your ammunition sparingly and only fire a weapon when it is abundantly necessary. You need to get all of your target practice in before the SHTF, not during. Every bullet you have will be currency to get you out of a difficult situation. It could also potentially be a way to procure your next meal if you turn to hunting. Each and every bullet has a purpose, and the more bullets you have in your arsenal the more of an advantage you’ll have weathering the difficult storm ahead.
