Tick, tock! D-day, are you prepared?

In the event of a government shutdown, just how prepared are you?  Let's say you've stock up on all that delicious Ramen I was just talking about--how are you going to defend yourself and your dehydrated noodles?

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking too.  An assault weapons ban goes in to effect in Maryland tomorrow, the same day as the potential government shutdown.  Coincidence?  I think not!  I recommend picking up an AR-15 right now so that you can defend your food against unwanted human intruders, or bears, or really vicious badgers.
