does it have to be modifyed somehow? (not able to fire full-auto,etc?)

Semi-auto is allowed in most areas of the country. Full auto is allowed in aprts of the country, but with the afore mentioned fees and permits. Of course that doesn't apply to police and military.

Hey UT,
I've got RA too... bordering on severe... just curious, what are your plans if TSHTF and you can't get anti-inflamatories and/or pain killers... the thought scares the bejesus out of me, two days without my med.s, and I'm basicly an invalid... just wondering what somebody in the same boat might be thinking?

Anybody else???

I've got major high blood pressure, I convinced my physician to give me a back-up 90 day supply. (I normally get 90 day refills) Which I keep in my BOV. I rotate them out and put the "fresh perscription" in my truck and use the "old" batch. I know, before everyone goes off at me (my doctor already did) but the way I look at it 90 day old meds are better than none. So far I haven't seen any reduction in potency but, the potential exists. Anyway If SHTF I can go for 90 days at least.

Yeah, I've gone that route myself (a scrip or two ahead), but if anything is long term, I guess I'll just be out of luck <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />.

I'd avoided looking at this thread for a long time, just because I didn't want to get into a flamefest. Glad to see it is good. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I try to keep about 100 rounds per gun on hand, 200 for each of the 22s. I also keep at least a thousand pellets for a .22 air rifle. Much more compact than even .22LR and suitable for the same kind of food out to about 30 feet (which is as far as you are likely to see a squirrel or the like), less to fear about over travel, less meat damage, and it's quiet. If I had money falling out of my backside, I'd have more than that.

I also have small reserves of calibers I don't own. But that is becuase things like .30-30 (which I don't own) are very common, and it is possible that one of the people who could be bugging to me could need it. Heck, if had more money than I knew what to do with, I'd have spare magazines for guns I don't own but are common, like the Barretta 92, for the same reason.

Holy cow u mad man dats wot da SAS use to da life out of terrorist not wot u use to shoot squirrels. Sorry rave over the MP5 is a good weapon but try getting the LA to let you keep 1 in your garage

As long as a MP5 is semi-auto and has a 16" barrel it is legal in MOST (not all of course) states. Some states require magazines that hold no more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

I typically keep 9 loaded 30 round magazines for my AR-15 and 270 rounds extra 5.56x45mm. I keep 5 of my 10 magzines for my Sig P220 and 100rnds of extra .45acp., 200 rounds of 9mm, 1000 rounds of .22LR (it is dirt cheap) and for the 12g I keep 100rnds of #7 birdshot, 25 1oz Slugs, 25 OO buck, and 50 #4 Buck Shoot.
