Arm ONLY the neighbors that have the stones to USE the damn thing..
In my not so humble opinion, you only want to help people you know who have the same value system you have and who otherwise “think like you”.
Now exactly what “think like you” means is probably different for different people, but for me it simply means that they believe in freedom, have respect for others and take personal responsibility for getting things done and not expect other people to do things for them or to give them things for free.
I have talked to several people I know about preparing for “What-If” scenarios. Some of them have said things like their survival plans are to come and stay with me.
It is probably not a good idea to arm people who are too stupid and/or too lazy to do the work to prepare.. If lazy unprepared idiots showed up at my door wanting me to provide for them and I had to tell them what I really thought of them and to get lost or else, I certainly would prefer that they be unarmed or not as well armed as they could be with my help.
People who are otherwise preparing and who live within their means are a good bet to help out if they need advice on a gun or guns, though.
Im looking for a couple of used Kel Tec P-11 9mm pistols.

Exactly.
Otherwise, all you are doing is putting yet another gun in the hands of the bad guys!
