Reported via Free Republic:
We just got a call from Devline Rossell, a charter captain based out of Venice, Louisiana. He was shopping in New Orleans to get some supplies before the arrival of Gustav (currently listed as a tropical storm that has left at least 22 dead in the Caribbean) and reported that the item most in demand was not food, clothing or shelter.
“I just left a sporting goods store and you would think that the number-one selling item would be plywood or potable water or gasoline right now,” he said. “Apparently it is AR-15s and .223 ammo. I watched at least 20 people buy AR-15s and cases of .223.”
FWIW, they were not buying 'cases' of .223 ball, the military .223. You can't get those anymore, except on rare occasion--and you'll pay a fortune for them.
More likely .223 target, or .223 "heavy" (extra lead grains) are available in those quantities.
In any case, those are prudent folks.

The smart move would be to go for an AK. The ammo is cheaper and more plentiful and they function better when dirty.
