I was putting together another shopping cart from Cheaper Than Dirt last night and you can tell who is paying attention to the talk out of Washington.
Out of 800 plus handguns listed only 9 where in stock. Funny since they where mostly the 45 cal and above.

What's the problem? 😄

I feel for you, my preparation-minded brother. I was able to find .223 for $0.40/ea early last month, now the situation is different. They're $1/ea, if you can find them. I guess that backordering is the new prepping!

You'll need to declare each phony gun to our airport-overlords, but it'll keep their perverted, thieving mitts off of the stuff in your bags.
I love this idea. I'd do it if I were willing to let them put their perverted, thieving mitts on my other junk.

Gary North wrote an article entitled How To Gum Up Any Institution that taught me this principal last year. In it, he explains some of what Saul Alinsky said/did. Packing a starter pistol in every bag follows Alinsky's fourth Tactical Rule: "Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules."
North finishes his article with this conclusion: "Every system can be brought down. Every system is vulnerable. If you can spot the weak point in the system, you can exploit it."
Now I want to read Alinsky's book... Thanks for bringing this back to my attention. 🙂
@RayR,
Don't you wish you lived a 100 miles south!?
Then again, the woman at the place I get coffee in the morning has a Belgian Draft Horse, who's mate was shot and killed by an hunter that thought he was shooting at a "Really Big (and furry, without antlers) Deer". I guess that is why another farmer in my area festoons his horses manes and tails with bright orange hazard tape.
Well... broke my sled already. 
Hit this log at speed (It was buried under snow, couldn't see it before):
Bounced off the bars and threw me off the sled. Shake the snow out of my helmet and survey the damage... lower A-arm's destroyed, might have some other issues but I'll have to wait till the sled's defrosted to see 'em.
Decent couple days of riding though.
