I see that redlevel figured that one out, too.

Yep, I learned my lesson with the "Clinton Scare." As I stated in my earlier post, even though all the bad predictions didn't come true, I still accumulated a bunch of ammo and saved a good bit of money in the long run, simply because of inflation and price increases.

The discouraging thing now is that a "lifetime supply" for me ain't nearly as much as it was back in '94.
