I'm sad to say I gave in and went to Dicks last night. Wound up picking up 2 boxes of .380 cci blazer for $16 a box.

I wish you all luck with your escapes. In a true apocalyptic-ish crisis though I'm betting any and all fuel gets expensive real fast. Real expensive. And any gas stations that actually have any will be absolute blood baths. I hope you can make your destination on the gas you have available right th...

Going to shoot you a PM where I wheel. I've been wheeling long enough that I don't like to post the info up online, seen it too many times where people find out and go and trash the area, then it gets shut down.
