AR-7 for flights over remote territory.   Cheap, light, compact, amazingly accurate and carrying 350 rounds of .22 LR is easy.  Hey, it's for survival, not an armed conflict!

I don't suppose the shortage on .40 has anything to do with various agencies of the the Federales buying up pretty much all the current capacity of the major manufacturers for the next year or more?  There are a lot of conspiracy theories floating around, but Occam's Razor suggests that the Feds just want to dry up the supply for everyone else.
Without ammo, a firearm is just an awkward club.

How much do you folks consider to be a reasonable supply to carry in your airplane?  For me, 40 - 50 rounds (Rifle=20rd/box; pistol=50/box) should be enough to see me  through a trek back to civilization.

Sorry Brother, the department supplies my rounds. I must qualify on Valentines Day....hmmmm. Also, I carry a Glock 22, 40 cal. Yes. I am aware of the shortage 

It's overcast here too and is gonna be at least the next two days, my days off from rolling and patrolling. Sigh. So tomorrow I will try to repair my fence so my pup doesn't try to knock-up every bitch in heat in SE Houston. I can do that in the rain.  :-)  Yes, I need to fix him....poor pup....

Chris, 

Well, it is low IFR here in Austin-Lockhart today, so the wife and I went to the shooting range.  We would have stayed longer, but in case you haven't heard, there's a severe shortage of ammo virtually everywhere.  So, tell me Chris, what's the inside skinny on where to buy 9mm?
