I’m surprised how often I hear that line, Red. “I have a gun and ammo. That’s all the preparedness I need.” How idiotic. Do people like that really think the rest of us are just going to sit there and let them kill us and our families and then steal everything we’ve worked hard to store and grow??? If so, they haven’t met my husband.

Some people like to throw out clever aphorisms they have heard....in cases like this, you can tell they have not put any thought behind it.

In a post SHTF scenario, people will get together in groups. If they see someone going into a house and shoot everyone inside, they will not simply allow them to walk onto the next one.

Then again the poster may have just been thinking about hunting for their food rather than stockpiling.
