I know some people that have stuff stockpiled for an emergency but they are thinking of smaller events. I want to say all of them have at least a gun though. If anything it is a hunting rifle/shotgun. Most that are prepared have a few guns though.
I know a few(not many)who have pretty good stockpiles,but NO guns!I just don’t get it…You guy’s know anybody like this?Ever changed their minds???On another note,i know a few that refuse to prep.They have the “I don’t want to be a target” mindset.Lost causes no doubt :(.
Some folks feel prepared with their 38 special revolver that grandpa handed down to them, which they’ve never fired or cleaned, & a crusty half box of ammo. Good luck to them.
Ah yes, my father likes to refer to these kinds of people as born victims.
Some MA newspaper did a story on such a year or two back - I think Survivalblog linked it. Talk about Grade A dumbasses; not only is their OPSEC blown, but now everyone KNOWS they CAN’T repel boarders! :blink:
That pretty much sums them up.
Yep. They are true victims but are preparing the horde that comes and take their supplies. They have it half right but they are freaking clueless in the ways of the world. Nothing but pure sheep.
I know of a few that think the Lord will save them
and they don’t think past that…
What about the Amish? There will be no more if it gets that bad or they will be slaves to those who have the weapons.
Dan
Most Amish own rifles and/or shotguns. Whether or not they will use them on people if the need should arise is another matter.
The Lord helps those who help themselves.
Amen brother.
Although I do wish more people had the attitude of self help and not of entitlement…
Reminds me of that old joke…
There was a flood occurring and a very devout preacher was standing knee deep in flood waters.
A boat of rescuers float by and offer him assistance to which he declines and says, Thank you for your offer, but I trust in God to save me. The rescuers leave…
Now, an hour later, he is waist deep in water and another boat comes by and offers assistance. He declines and says the same thing about his faith in God and the rescuers leave…
Fast forward another hour and now this man is neck deep in water. Another boat comes by and begs him to get in. They warn him that it won’t be long before he drowns. He declines again and cites his faith in God and that God will deliver him.
Well, the flood waters flow over his head and he drowns.
Now he’s in heaven and meets God. He asks God, wasn’t I a good servant to you? Yes, God replies. He asks, wasn’t I always obedient and followed your commandments? Yes, God replies.
Next he asks, Well, then, I have to ask you, why didn’t you keep me from drowning in that flood???
God replies, You dumbass Motherf*cker, I sent three boats to save you didn’t I?!?
I saw this the other day & believe it applies here…
ROTFL. . .:lol:
I haven’t seen this one yet but my father told me about it after a recent conversation we had on the subject.
I work with mostly guys and the topic usually comes up in conversation over the course of a work week. Most guys have a decent little supply of food and other supplies but when the topic turns to guns they usually either dont have one or they have one but no ammo. I always ask for their address and they look at me like:confused: so I just :no:.
One of my neighbors says he all set,he’s got an old bolt action .22 :o.
That’s not in the Bible anywhere, but I agree with the general sentiment. I prefer to make my own luck whenever possible. 
EDIT: Removed some unintentional snarkiness.
You either get it or you don’t… And a lot of people don’t. I’ve stopped trying to talk sense into these people and or explaining my reasoning for why I see things the way I and most if not all of us here do. They usually piss me off and I tell’em just don’t come to me when shit hits the fan. Which is something I’ve been told before too. People will say “oh when shit hits the fan I’m coming to your house haha”. Sorry, no your not.
