Don’t they live on a farm? That puts them in a good position in case the poo hits the fan. Of course they need weapons to protect their property.
They do live on a farm, Rusty. They have animals (sheep, chickens, pigs),eggs, his family has cows, they have greenhouses, gardens, some fruit trees, honey, they have hunting guns....they’re in a better position than the rest of us lol. Heck, I’m going out there! She’s a bit of a worrier.
