Arm yourself. Heavily.

Absolutely do so - and vary your arms.

People think it's funny or quaint that I've learned how to fight hand-to-hand, and with steel.

Admittedly, bringing a sword to a gunfight won't get you all that far . . . but when everyone is out of ammo and reduced to hucking the guns, the ability to both defend and offend with a big stick (or your bare hands) will come in quite handy.

Just ask the five rednecks who tried to surround me last season.

That's why my "service piece" is a Browning Hi-Power -- it's a solid chunk of steel that can be used as a club if necessary. The dogleg .45 is even better for this.

BTW, nice pics on your site!
