As we’ve seen with recent events, it’s no longer a stretch of the imagination to believe that the normal order can break down rather quickly and
Once supply lines were broken down because of layoffs, lost production or “social distancing” orders, people began to feel the pinch in a hurry, and even the best of us didn’t always rise to the occasion. There are multiple videos online of people getting into fights at stores and gas stations over relatively small things such as toilet paper. And that was even before the mass layoffs and the various government interventions. Maybe what happened earlier this year is a wake-up call for people to start taking the notion of being prepared for such events more seriously. Certainly, it was a lesson in how civility buckles under the weight of even the slightest disruption.

Luckily, Ruger came along at just the right moment with its new 9mm PC Charger.
