I think the point was to check the Walmart across the street before checking PSS and beat the shop employees there to have any hope of scoring a reasonably-priced box. Sounds like help to me.
I submitted an article for an Equip2Endure contest detailing a Ruger 10/22 Takedown Bugout Bag:
Equip 2 Endure
It contains everything I keep in my Get Home Bag. Not looking for any help in the contest, just adding to the conversation.
I've had this same problem since I started carrying, and am now also carrying a Shield. I found that the shirts from Duluth are designed for older guys and aren't just going to be longer, they're more baggy all-around. Assuming you are a younger guy, I'd recommend checking out this line of t's...
I really like mine and would recommend it. With smaller hands, it makes reloads much quicker. Here's a video that can provide more info/insight, too.

Everything I've heard is that nothing will get through the House. That said, a magazine restriction is probably the most likely of all the options. I saw yesterday that Congress isn't expecting to look at gun legislation for 3-4 months. Hopefully a lot of the backorders can be filled by then.
