Sitting Duck Policy

This story comes to us from a long-time friend, it recounts an experience a Kansas State
Highway Patrol Officer had with an elderly lady during a traffic stop:

I made a traffic stop on an elderly lady the other day for speeding on U.S. 166 Eastbound at Mile Marker 73 just East of Sedan, KS. I asked for her driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance.

The lady took out the required information and handed it to me. In with the cards I was somewhat surprised (due to her advanced age) to see she had a conceal carry permit. I looked at her and ask if she had a weapon in her possession at this time.

She responded that she indeed had a .45 [semi-] automatic in her glove box.

Something — body language, or the way she said it — made me wantto ask if she had any other firearms. She did admit to also having a 9mm Glock in her center console.

Now I had to ask one more time if that was all. She responded once again that she did have
just one more, a .38-special in her purse.

I then asked her what was she so afraid of.

She looked me right in the eye and said, “Not a f….ing thing!”

Ever since Obama took office there has been a run on ammunition, specifically popular civilian carry ammo such as 9mm and .45 ACP.

I typically buy my ammo from CheaperThanDirt.com and SportsmansGuide.com. I’ve never had a problem getting any brand of ammo from either sites… until Obama won the election. Today both sites are almost always sold-out.

Even when you can find some ammo that’s in-stock, the price is usually ridiculous, for example, here’s a box of 20 rounds of Remington brand .45 ACP for almost $50! That’s about $2.50 per round! Yikes!

Range ammo usually went for $16 to $18 per box of 20, and premium carry ammo usually went for $22 per box of 20.
