am i the only one that finds it just a little funny that people just post what they think after only reading the title? or am i a little funny for actually reading the first post?
Reality is what I posted.
Granted my experiences are not as some around here, but mine are mine and I own them.
Katrina hit.
Folks of like kind, had ammo, guns, medical supplies and everything else, and even some of the back-up supplies got hit, lost.
Now I am real damn familiar with some folks that took a big chance, and took single shot shotguns, singles shot .22 rifles , .38spl revolvers diabetes kits and meds, and other really needed items into where these folks were.
Criminals on one side, FEMA other there and weaving the needle to not get pegged by Cops.
Nothing "good enough" or 'tactical enough" for many today , still I assure you, the reciepents were damn happy to have these simple firearms that were put back for such a situation.
Let us go back in time...
Before cell phones, before 911.
Tornado comes through and it looks like a lawnmower just cut a wide swath.
Guns?
Yeah they had guns, but one fella did not find his safe until 3 wks later over in a clump of trees in another pasture!
Big City has its own problems, these folks are on their own.
They had guns, ammo, stores , and supplies, still these two are gone, or cannot be accessed.
Again, others run down, with single shot shotguns, .22 rifles, .38spl and other needes like lanterns, blankets and food.
Evil is looking for easy prey...
Evil will cheat, and play dirty.
A firebomb is tossed to catch a structure on fire to run folks off, the firebomb never makes it to the structure.
A simple single shot shotgun shoots this moving target, and fells it before it can reach its destination.
Night time, very little light, no beads on that shotgun, but the person using it, is a shotgunner, not some one that owns a shotgun.
Another barrage of gunfire and a younger male with a single shot 20 ga has the best cover and shot to stop evil.
He runs that single shot like a repeater, sending slugs into that car, and evil leaves.
I know, I made the run during Katrina, I was the young man shooting firebombs, and I was the young man shooting slugs .
Not funny to me at all!
Screw the rules, rules are for bending them that will and breaking those that need breaking.
Before all the gun games and The Great Equipment race, we did set ups and lessons using what folks actually had.
Serious situations hit, like escaped convicts, or natural disasters and one is wise to learn from the past.
Neighbors, with various skill sets, and working as team.
Firearm redundancy on platform and ammo capability.
Here Model 94 in 30-30 was the most used rifle, it was not /is not uncommon to find a household with six of these.
Anyone in the family can run this rifle, so can neighbors.
Same applies other guns, like Model 10s, and some families have a dozen set back, just in case matters go south.
12 ga bone stock pump guns, Model 70 in '06...
ARs are plain vanilla and bone stock, simple and a crap load of ammo set back.
Instead of tricking out 1, folks get 2 guns done for the same monies, or near about.
One fella bought 2, plain GI SA 1911s. These run out of the box, and tested reliable.
He paid $438 each for these.
His next investments were another 24 , 7 round , closed base USGI/Colt style mags.
Ammo was more hardball, both factory loads and components.
This makes 12 bone stock 1911s for this fella and his family.
Redundancy is good, and proven.
How raised, what you do
