Re: Colorado Floods - Recovery

Oh yeah I forgot to tell you guys , unless a deer is shot for food in the next year, no ARs, glocks or 1911's were needed by these folk to survive this.

Well maybe it will be different "next time."

Since Obama was re-elected, many people who were "sitting on the fence" regarding firearms ownership, have jumped on the bandwagon and are buying everything in sight before it is banned. This has been going on for several years and Obama is probably the most effective gun salesman and NRA recruiter in the country.

My own feeling is that too many people fixate on the "hardware" to the detriment of completing their other preps.

Priorities should be to have adequate shelter, water, food, sanitation, communications, and community!

THEN as a neighborhood you plan together to provide adequate security.

If living in a place where it is legal to have a firearm, then you should have one, or two, at least.

If all you are allowed is a shotgun or a .22 rifle, then get one. If you are allowed a pistol or revolver, get one.

If you are lucky enough to be allowed a modern battle rifle, then get one.

Otherwise your hunting rifle or blackpowder muzzle-loader can make do.

The important thing is that if you are allowed a gun, do what it takes to have one or several.

I don't recommend breaking the law, but do all that you can within what the law where you live allows.

In the USA the average rural farmer has a .22 rifle, some type of shotgun and a "deer rifle."

In states where concealed carry is legal, more people than not have handguns and carry them.

Even though "open carry" legal where I live, I carry discreetly because I do not want to "scare the tourists."
