I am a concealed carrier, concealed carry instructor, and active member of my local CERT.

Practice ammo is still quite pricey but perhaps a little cheaper than it was two years ago. I haven't been tracking prices carefully -- I belong to multiple groups that do large-scale group buys periodically, giving opportunities to buy ammo when it's cheap rather than when I need it.

The large cities I visit for work have become noticeably more dangerous.

My CERT continues to operate essentially as it has. We've done well in recruiting new members.

It's not clear to me yet how the Magnet family will deal with any loss of weather warnings that may occur. While I think of myself as being able to read the skies pretty well, nobody has to tell me that weather satellites and radar do it better than I can with my eyeballs.
