Not sure why anyone would think gold and silver will mean anything in a SHTF scenario. If everything breaks down, I wouldn't give you a box of 22LR or a ham sandwich, even for a pound of gold. Gold and Silver only have value in intact economies, even way back when we were all wearing sandals.

Most silver coins are not pure silver, most are 90% and as they wear their weight decreases by a good bit, so buying coins on line for their silver content is a bad bet. You are paying a premium for the collectability of the coin and getting less silver to boot. We all know collectibles are the first thing to drop with the economy. If you were really interested in silver - buy bars.

I've thought about this and I do have some silver. But what good is silver or gold in a crisis situation exactly? If the economy goes really south, gold will be be worthless as well. Gold will be as useless as paper money, you cant eat it, you cant hunt with it, you cant drink it, and it doesnt give you shelter. In a real disaster - I would want food, ammo, fuel and water, gold and silver wouldnt be on my list.

Well, not for anything but most pinned mags are easily unpinned. I'm not sure that anything is PERMANENT when modified to restrict capacity. The only PERMANENT option is to buy a 10 round short mag.

I recently had my address changed on my FID card and it took 3 months. Basically it was going through the entire process from scratch like I never had a card to begin with. They called and wrote to my References, they called my job to verify my employment which really ticked me off. (having a job is not a requirement for a FID card) mental health again and all the fee's involved. Sorry to hear these kinds of delays are so wide spread.
