Nothing less than 40 cal. 9 mil is useless in the grand scheme of things, for personal protection, if you have to protect yourself or loved ones.
22 rifle is good for small game.
Shotgun for a house gun.
Become proficient in the use of all, that you have. purchase ammo and store it, stick to only a few types of like weapons.
For me, I have several weapons, but only 2 calibers.
And like was previously stated PRAY.
Do not trust Dem or Repub, there is no real difference between them.
I intend this reply to ALL OF YOU who have so graciously responded to my plea! THANK YOU, Fellow Freepers, who have gathered me under your wings, comforted me, and offered advice. I DO trust in our Lord, Jesus Christ! I pray daily. I am human... I fall short... THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSES!
Fantastic thread. But also sobering.
I am about your age. I think folks our age and above just remember the good days of America, when it was strong. Perhaps never perfect, but definitely stronger ..and first rate. And we’re seeing its decline. Younger people just don’t have the same perspective.
I am prone to tearfulness lately. I am just sad for America. Sad and angry at the ignorance and evil of so many people now. Just disgusted with the Sheeple mentality. I am also very worried. VERY, very worried for my kids, esp the youngest who is 10 and mildly autistic. I don’t even want to think what his life would be like w/o me ...But this thread really helped me tonight.
In the end, it’s all about God and family. I have cut back at work because I refuse to work like a dog just to pay more taxes and just want to enjoy life and be there for my family. I wonder if they are counting people like me in the employment picture ...
