Pre-Gustav New Orleans Biggest Survival Sales Item? Guns and Ammo August 27, 2008 Guns And Gustav John Snow outdoorlife.blogs.com http://outdoorlife.blogs.com/theguns...selling-i.html We just got a call from Devline Rossell, a charter captain based out of Venice, Louisiana. He was shopping in New Orleans to get some supplies before the arrival of Gustav (currently listed as a tropical storm that has left at least 22 dead in the Caribbean) and reported that the item most in demand was not food, clothing or shelter. �I just left a sporting goods store and you would think that the number-one selling item would be plywood or potable water or gasoline right now,� he said. �Apparently it is AR-15s and .223 ammo. I watched at least 20 people buy AR-15s and cases of .223.� Can�t say I�m surprised. After the nightmare that was Katrina I think it would be unwise for anyone to assume the state, local or federal government could guarantee his or her personal safety during a natural disaster. Of course, I think it is foolish to assume that under any circumstance. The AR buying spree demonstrates that people don�t think of it as an �assault weapon� but rather an arm that is ideally suited for self-defense, which it is. I also suspect that for some of the folks this is their first firearm. Goes to show that not only is there no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole but that there is no such thing as a gun-control advocate in one either.

Re: Pre-Gustav New Orleans Biggest Survival Sales Item? Guns and Ammo I just picked up 2 cases of Brown Bear 55 grain FMJ for my AR-15 today. It loves the cheap stuff. I am ready for when Hurricane Obama hits Ohio and tries to take away our ARs.

Re: Pre-Gustav New Orleans Biggest Survival Sales Item? Guns and Ammo This tidbit of information suddenly has me REALLY interesting in watching this all play out. If this hurricane hits New Orleans again, we'll have a full on case study about how people are going to react. Here you have a city that's already been decimated by a prior hurricane and the resulting government intervention (disarmament, control etc), and now that same city, is looking down the barrel of another hurricane with the previous one still fresh in their memory. This is gonna be interesting....

It wont be mainstream.......... you are going to have to dig for side stories about patriots that refused to comply with that absurd order. They will show the one or two sheep that still do as they are told. T

I'm sure I'll be able to find em, especially with all the watchful eyes on this site and my other one. Plus if it gets to be widespread like I would hope... you wouldn't really be able to ignore it. MSM might, but it'll get out.... I'm just watching with a wishful hope right now... :-)

Re: Pre-Gustav New Orleans Biggest Survival Sales Item? Guns and Ammo The pictures in the media show a third world world country full of fat ass lazy people being controlled into buses and trains for their deportation. I am sure Putin is having a nice cigar watching us control our sheeple so easily. With all respect to anyone living in them parts of the woods, it is being painted that your city is full of fat, ignorant and easily controlled socialists. It's pretty late. I should go to bed before the tivo finds out I am still awake :)

Re: Pre-Gustav New Orleans Biggest Survival Sales Item? Guns and Ammo New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin called Gustav "the mother of all storms," saying its destruction could outstrip that from Katrina, which flooded much of his city. "You need to be scared," Nagin said. "You need to be concerned, and you need to get your butts moving out of New Orleans right now. This is the storm of the century." politcians scarring the masses! imagine that:confused_ma:

They now know that the hordes are coming and are getting ready for it. Good. Ray Nagin should have been fired after saying New Orleans should stay a "chocolate" city. That's just further proof of the double standard.
