I'll stick with my .22 target rifle (12 lbs empty) and my 20-ga side-by-side-by, thanks all the same. That collection is too frikkin "survivalist" for my taste.

So, you don't have a taste for surviving?

Oh SHit! Now you've done it, guns and killing your own dinner in one thread?

I'll get the beer if you bring the snacks, this could be a long night.

Surviving WHAT?!? Life? Yeah, bnut I don't have to shoot anyone to do that. Surviving nuclear holocaust? Rather be right under the first one, thanks. Private armies with machine guns ... Sorry - don't want to tread on anyone's toes here

Nah, count me out of the "shoot to survive" crowd. Nothing personal, but I seriously doubt anyone will have to in this country.

I'm guessing that little hurricane thing in NOLA didn't get any air time on your local news.

Yeah , I remember when Hurricane Hugo came through SC in 89 . Things got real PRIMITIVE .No electricity for weeks. I was one of the few and smart who installed a manual pump for my wells . Peeps were lined up for miles and weeks to get fresh clean water from me . I didn't charge anybody a penny .
The Audibon Society offered to pay all my property taxes until I die . Which means I could retire right now to my 60 Ac farm and live off the land . But I love cars and guitars and will deal with the world for now .

Next time I can beat a hurricane with a rifle, I'll be sure to give you a call. Luckily, we don't have levees to break up here, we are all above sealevel to start with.

It's not the water I'm talking about, it's the roving bands of thugs that filled the streets for a week or so after. PMC's and NG had to be called in to make the place safe again.

Dig deeper than the standard news reports, it got really bad there with criminal violence and armed looters. A rescue group from AZ got there and after seeing what was going on refused to work unless they could be armed. When they were told no by the mayor they said "screw this" and came home.
