Can't recall where but there was a (very) elderly gent awhile back on some forum that recognized he wasn't gonna be in shape for the <fill-in your favorite> revolution/apocalypse & could only "support." But support he would & went out and bought a boatload of M-N's and enough ammo to provide a couple of platoon's worth of folks a rifle & 60 rounds if they ever need it. Something about quantity having a quality all its own.
