I hate to sound like an asshole but...
This is a non-problem:
I have guns and ammo and no food + you have food and no ammo = tough shit!
I will do whatever I have to to survive.

I used to think that way.. until I realize those who are well-prepare with food and supplies are the ones who are well prepare with protection also.

You me be hard pressed to find your target. I just wonder how many challenges you may go through to find the people with no ammo.
Just a thought.

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.

I am very concerened with the med situation. I can't get more than a 90 supply of my blood pressure meds. If I don't take one every day, the next day my BP shoots through the roof and I get horrible headaches. This has put me in the ER a couple of times - as the attending said "Minutes away from a stroke".

I've considered the major SHTF situation and needing to visit a pharmacy to obtain a greater supply. I need them for basic survival.

Just saying here but I took a flight once and they lost my luggage and I went to the doc and told them that my brand new fill was in that bag cause I got it filled on the way to the airport.... just saying.

Come to take my food and I guarantee you'll leave with out a gun if you leave at all, is the mindset of most who have food.
