Had a convo, or two, as well.

Took my kids to the barber shop the other day (small, Southern town). We always talk politics and world events while the kids listen in. One of the barbers said he was cutting a local policeman’s hair and asked him, if directed, would he confiscate weapons.....he said, “Absolutely.” As you can imagine, we were all pretty dumbfounded. This is a VERY ‘red’ area (conservative).

Then, some months later, my convo with the Chief of Police (who I know fairly well), was quite surprising. Asked him where the best place would be to get firearms training. He said....”Well, you know, our town is a pretty safe place...” and I interrupted him and said, “Because lots of people around here own guns.” He was a bit flustered. I was concerned about his response. He is a devout Christian. Maybe he took it as the police not doing a good job.....which is not the case. They are pretty good. Left me scratching my head.

During the Civil War the Union postmasters in post offices in Southern states stayed on the job. Jeff Davis even paid them, but in Confederate money.

At the end of the war they were still all on the job. Congress paid them their missed Union pay.

So, whose side were they on?

You can mull this one over a few minutes.

There are some sympathizers that will blindly follow orders. Including some police.And then there are some that will say, “hell no” and will train and equip people. These are sad days, but all the more you should “Prep” now. Don’t wait until the “SHTF” make your plans now! Where will you go, what will you do? Start getting plugged into prepper sites immediately. Don’t wait, because when the SHTF...it’s to late then.
