If someone's trying to barter for a firearm after the SHTF already I suspect they'd trade their left nut for whatever you're offering. Stock up on 38 special to trade with it too.
Plus, you wouldn't be arming someone up who can potentially come back after you with it...642 would obviously just be defensive.
