    There would not be anything in our armories anyway. Maybe a few small arm pistol rounds and a few cases of MRE's at best.

    If the Armories were in such a state of alert to be 15 minutes ready to move out with all vehicles manned and rifles loaded, it would take hours to bring up everything to that armory and all others by truck.

    I believe so. Failing the local shop I can either go to Memphis or to Joplin to acquire strong drink and bring it home. There are certain spirits banned in Arkansas due to very obscure old laws that I have to go out of state anyway to get. Spearment Schnapps from DeKryper or Hiram Walker is a example of one such drink. The beauty of these types of drink is that when treated as medicine it takes very little liquid for the effect. I do not have the capacity or desire to drink a case of beer like some would. To each his own.

    Long ago there used to be a winery near Mt Airy as the crow flies. Its a tiny little place but they bottle several times a year. Used to visit there and collect annually out of there. Just a small thing in life that would be worth continuing for those who can do it.

    The other problem pertains to wet and dry counties. It is legal to have strong drink for yourself at home. But you cannot have others involved in consuming such without a license in a wet county.
