The fellow is right. Bad times are probably coming. Not many of my firearms go pew-pew. Most of them are very loud. One of the neighbors stopped by the other day and inquired whether I had been shooting a couple of evenings prior. I admitted that I had been practicing, and he said he can tell when I'm firing versus other neighbors, because my shots are very regular double taps, and no one else locally does double taps. While we were chatting in the yard, another neighbor started firing nearby, so even with the ammo shortage there are plenty of folks getting ready for the bugaloo or other festivities. I just hope it doesn't come to that; hope for the best, plan for the worst. Interestingly, the fellow making the inquiries doesn't like firearms, though his wife has her concealed handgun permit, and she has shot with me at our home range. The neighbor was there watching while we practiced using one of the pew-pew guns, and he looked through the scope, but he wouldn't fire the gun. His wife is in charge of security in their household.
