Hello and wow! I did speak with one of my sons today using the approach spoken here on the thread. To my amazement he mentioned he’s going to start buying extra food for storage! I mentioned what he felt people would do if things got really bad. He said he wasn’t thinking about getting a gun for nothing, and then elaborated on that. I asked if he thought we might bring this up with his brother as well. He thought next we meet there we should. So it’s at least on the table now and we’ll go from here.
Thanks so much to all who offered their advice...it was more than helpful and has brought my family to where things actually might move forward on this now, where the discussion of preparing is possible now. Thank you Again.
Seeing as my nic was the first you listed, I’m going to assume my piece helped. So: You’re welcome. If I helped at all, then my time here was worthwhile. Good luck, and you and yours are in my prayers.
