Actually it would be a problem. At least 25% of the population owns guns. When you work it out, it comes out to most families own at least a single firearm. Saying that they "won't have ammo" is setting up an unrealistic situation. This strategy may work once for you, but won't happen twice.

BTW, meds are also going to be currency. Especially controlled substances like antibiotics and narcotic painkillers.
