    Bought since panic started:
    Not a damn thing.
    My last rifle arrived two days after.
    Not buying over priced ammo.
    Got all my reloading supplies last month.
    Spend my time reloading and not feeling the panic.

    I bought nothing.

    I already have ammo reloaded and components on the shelf. Plenty of firepower also.

    reports of a pending power outage is is no time to buy a generator. I learned that when my power went out for 5 days and I would have paid anything for a generator, only to find out that there were many more like me so we couldn't get one.

    Now if I can just remember exactly where I buried my gold coins in the back yard, I would be set.

    - I ordered a case of 5.56 the moment fox called ohio for obama (I'm not sure if that counts as the current panic or not)
    - I ordered 10 USGI mags with pmag followers from PSA (also right before Sandy Hook)
    - bought Remington 597
    - sold a Mosin 91/30 and some ammo to pay for the 597
    - several thousand rounds of .22
    - still waiting on a Ruger Takedown...but that was supposed to be a xmas present so technically I won't be the one panic-buying it

    Bought 15 PMags..but got them at regular price. So I guess that's a panic buy, but I didn't get my pants pulled down in the process.

    In a cornfield.
    5 AR15 easy mags.
    Some hollow points for my 1911 and SR40C.
    Galco STO226 holster for my SR at Bradis for like 25 bucks. It's originally for a Glock 19, but fits mine perfectly. Very nice and it's all leather.

    Technically speaking, I paid for it before the panic craze...(On the 4th of december) They just screwed me for 6 weeks and then cancelled my order. Never order from buds guns.

    So I bought this:

    And 300 rounds of 9mm. Would like some magazines but it looks like I'm going to have to wait for a bit. Luckily this is my 13th handgun and the rest are well stocked.

    I acquired two Glocks the day of the shooting (coincidence already had planned to get them). I however had very little .40 S&W so I knew I needed to get some. I ordered 500 online, bought a few boxes from the store. It was in a panic mode but I had to hurry to make sure I got some!

    Haven't purchased anything since the panic but 2 items that I would like is a 25 or 30 round magazines for the 10/22 and an stripped AR lower. I was planning on purchasing both items for the last couple years but just never got around to it. Maybe one of these days they will be in stock again. Serves me right for not buying when I had a chance.
