Some of it could be for a completely different reason: if the economy crashes too hard, food could be a problem.  That said, it wouldn't be the world's worst idea to have some .22 ammo for (rural) squirrel and rabbit hunting.  While I'm aware that a lot of you believe by way of the current seeming rally in the DJIA that we're on the way back up, there are an awful lot of factors behind the scenes that you don't hear mentioned by the MSM that point to some serious trouble coming up.  We're currently having some really bad Treasury auctions and the dollar got the living crap beat out of it, losing ~1 1/4% today in the futures markets.  Gold and oil both popped up significantly on the news.
