It's never too late to start! I retired to homestead on the slopes of Mauna Loa, an active volcano. I relate snippets of my endeavor on my blog : www.kaufarmer.blogspot.com

The reason I say that is what I see as the point of her story, even though she may not think it is, the bully in the store looks at Marjory as a quiet, hippy dippy liberal who will be easy pickings if any thing ever did happen. Sometimes owning a gun makes these bullies think about going after an easier target. If I were Marjory I would make sure that I opened carried into that guys shop, wearing camo, and ask him if he carried ammo for sale. Make damn sure he knows that it might not be as easy as he thinks to steal your food.

This doesn't contribute to the more practical part of this conversation, but I find this interesting. Around here (southern Missouri), you can buy centerfire ammunition all day long, but for the past couple years .22 was next to impossible to find. Now it's more available, but for a while there it was getting snatched up as soon as it hit the shelves.

You can get a box of 500 .22LR for 10 bucks.
