Mike C. liked an article comparing ammunition with other barter items [1]. The authors list and rankings are interesting.

I noticed that there are some great links to information on gun caching and long term storage [2], over at MouseGuns.com.

I’ve been pleased to see that GunPal [3]–the pro-gun alternative to the PayPal online payment service, is expanding rapidly. You can now buy thousands of items with the GunBroker.com [4] auction service, where payments are accepted via GunPal. As background, I must mention that for nearly a decade, PayPal (owned by eBay, and both headquartered in California) has gradually turned the screws on anyone making transactions related to firearms or ammunition [5]. It is clear that PayPal and eBay are trying to apply California-style Political Correctness on the entire nation [6]. They have suspended accounts of thousands of gun owners, often tying up their money for months in the process. They have destroyed the livelihoods of countless “mom and pop” gun-related businesses. I recommend that you both avoid eBay as much as possible, and get a GunPal account, since it just takes a few minutes to set one up. Their payment fees are lower than PayPal’s, too! Several months ago, I added GunPal [3] as one of the payment options for Ten Cent Challenge [7] voluntary SurvivalBlog subscriptions. I was glad to provide folks with a way to avoid PayPal!
