off the record and can’t be traced. The local laws enable face to face sales as long as the selling party checks the ID of the buying partner. I find four people within forty miles who have various AR 15s for sale. I contact each of them agreeing to purchase their rifles. When I return home at 6:00 PM, I have five additional AR 15s adding to the three we already have. I was also able to purchase an additional 25,000 rounds of 5.56 55g FMJ rounds. Lacy informs me tomorrow three moving companies will come by to give us a quote. She sees me carrying the boxes and smiles, saying; “I see where you went, how many are you planning on getting? Knowing you, you’re going to arm us and our neighbors.”
“I want to have at least twelve ARs, six shotguns and a dozen semi-auto side arms, two or three hundred magazines and at least one hundred thousand rounds of ammo. I’m sure I can fill out our armory in a day or two, cash speaks very loudly.”
“Planning on starting our own small army? Who are you planning on invading? I hope it's Italy, I love their shoes and bags. I want you to know, I don’t jump out of perfectly good airplanes. If you’re going to invade Italy, I expect you to fly me to Rome first class.” Lacy broke out laughing.
“When everything falls apart, this may be what stands between us and mobs trying to take what’s ours.”
“I hope you’re getting them at a good price. Jay, I don’t like the picture you’re painting. Frankly it’s starting to scare me.”
“Lacy, I got them at a very good price, cash talks. Honey, I really hope I’m wrong. I’d rather have these and not need them than need them and not have them.”
“I agree. But, I’m allowed to be nervous.”
“Of course you are. Honey, I’m going to do everything possible to protect you and our extended family. Tomorrow, I’m going to call Fred and see if he can find a local company to install solar panels on both houses and a couple of windmills. I want us to be able to survive without relying on the grid. I want us to be able to generate all of the electrical energy we need. I’d also like a few more wells dug and a fire suppression system installed in our homes and Fred’s barn.”
Lacy sips a glass of wine saying, “What’s next? Are you going to build a bunker under our new house?”
“Yes, I’m researching prebuilt shelters which only need a hole dug, they can be installed in a couple of days.”
“Jay, you really are serious about turning the new house into a shelter, aren’t you?”
“Honey, I’m going to have bars and heavy metal screens placed over the windows. I want a heavy duty fence built around us and a barricade to stop anyone from driving their vehicles into the front of our house. I want us to be self-sufficient and able to protect what’s ours.”
“How much do you think this is all going to cost?”
“I guess no more than another $500,000.”
“What?”
“That includes a couple of jeeps and freeze dried food to feed twelve people for two years.”
“Wasn’t the entire idea of the farm so we had food available?”
“I like to have a backup to the backup plan.”
“What else are you planning?”
“Since the house uses propane, I’m going to see about getting multiple tanks and also buried fuel tanks for our cars. I’d also like to have an external garage built for the kid’s cars or any other cars we purchase so they’re not kept outside.”
“How long are you planning for us to be self-sufficient?”
“Years if necessary. If the market crashes, it could be a long time before things get back to normal. I’m not sure we’ll ever get back to the way we are now.”
“Why do you think that?”
“If my theory is correct, I expect Russia is going to move to absorb what’s going to be left of Europe. Our currency is going to crash. The economy is going to have to be restructured in
