Over the years, I have had friends and relatives jokingly say that when times get tough, REALLY TOUGH, they are going to come to my house, because I have guns and load my own ammo. They seem to think that I am preparing for THEIR defense. I always laugh right back, and say "What are you bringing with you (when you come)?" I have sacrificed a lot of other things to have a well stocked battery of guns and accessories, ammo, etc, for each, to be prepared for "whatever". I do not feel a social obilgation to arm my neighbors, or certain factions of my family in such times. I may barter or trade ammo, and maybe even guns, to get what I need, but during an emergency is not the time to be giving it all away. Anyone else suffer from people who otherwise act oblivious to preparedeness planning, and think you are going to "provide" for them?
