Anyone, (friends or family), who shows up at my door better have more than just their hands in pocket....I have preps for my wife, child, dog and cat. What neighbors I have do not know diddly about what I have and never will. Handing out guns in my opinion just opens the possibility of having them used on you...Desperate people do desperate things in desperate times. Though I'm realistic enough to know I can't stave off an armed mob, there would be a lot of death dealt before I go down. If I survive, I plan on "scuttling the ship" before I head for the hills, so I hope charred timbers give them comfort...
