Freedom
Meticulous Listener
A couple of weeks ago, when the gov't warned us it would shut down, I had a cold chill run up my spine. I couldn't sleep that nite and had all these morbid thoughts. I'm usually pretty much happy-go-lucky, but it suddenly hit me right in the face.
Previously I'd compiled a bunch of hurricane aftermath gear. And I'm an avid camper, so we had sleeping bags and tents, etc. Lighting, emergency radio, extra batteries, canned foods, Cooking gear and so on.
But one night I had a nightmare of some intruder prowling our house. We're pretty secluded on an acre, as are our neighbors. I had no home defense weapons. I used to, but I sold them all years ago.
So the next day I bought a Taurus Judge, went to the bank and got a bunch of cash, ordered a stockpile of survival foods (25 yrs shelf life), and about 100rounds of .410 shotshells.
Have any one of you felt this way? Better safe than sorry.
No, not at all.
