I’m in better shape than most people, but I fall short in this test.

Sigh, back to work.

But, I think this test is missing something vital. Security. Can you protect your family if law enforcement is unavailable for 72 hours or more? If you have any weapons, are you properly trained in their use? Do you periodically use them to maintain your proficiency?

I was living in Central Florida when Andrew hit. The news reports of Dade County afterwards were ugly. A few smart people saved themselves a lot of grief by sitting on their front porches holding shotguns.

I have some friends who were there for that. Luckily their family has a class 3 weapons permit and a couple Mac-10s because they used to said to the Bahamas and Pirates of the Caribbean isn’t just a Disney ride. They stood watch with those and had no troubles.
