>>But not a single sling or magazine pouch.

>>I just shake my head.

That’s what I’m talking about. LOL.

I own a bunch of purpose-built black or green tactical stuff, but I also have a full set of civilian “guerilla” gear that comes from Home Depot and the hunting department at WalMart and Gander Mountain. All the civilian stuff is dual purpose but if 2A duties every become necessary, I won’t show up looking like the guy that the sniper needs to take out first.

Its not really the gear. Its the mindset. The guys I know with the safe full of guns and no slings do not have the mindset. They have this fantasy of the Big Climactic Hollywood Battle where all the gun owners line up on side and the loyal forces of the government line up on the other and, after a few volleys, they surrender. There is no lead-up with skirmishes and the aftermath is peace, love, and unicorns. It’s the old “Short, Victorious War” theory.

I see Kosovo in our future unless something changes soon.

Yep. You don’t need the hand made ghillie suit. That Mossy Oak from Cabela’s will do just fine. In my experience the OTC stuff is better quality anyway. I know I’d rather have quality private sector gear than the mil-spec low bidder stuff. LOL.

Kosovo, Sarejevo, or Argentina. Whichever it ain’t gonna be pretty and it won’t be over in 95 minutes.

Folks will need more than guns and ammo, too. Every year the leftover FSA money in our account goes to medical supplies. Over the last few years we have gotten ourselves better stocked than most 2nd world dispensaries we’ve seen. It’d be just stupid to die from an untreated infected cut after all.

If you have acces to an FSA I highly recommend you look into it. You’d be amazed at what you can get with those funds.

Every year our parents get a 6 month supply of hearing aid batteries. If things get squirrelly they won’t be available at all. They make great stocking stuffers for Christmas. LOL

Anyway, best of luck to you. I have a feeling 2016 is going to be a very interesting year. I hope I’m wrong, but I ain’t betting that way.

As long as they have a few rolls of duct tape, they can make anything they need.

Won't be pretty, but it'll work.
