After being preempted by the weather yesterday we are doing today’s show on listener questions.  Tune in today as we answer questions about surplus firearms, buying land, keeping and investing in silver, potential bank runs, alcohol as a gas and more.

Today I also tell you about an article I read on Lew Rockwell about coming food shortages and why food producing land will be one of the most valuable commodities in the coming future. The article is aptly titled “Food Will Never Be So Cheap Again“.
