So many people have "a plan" that is no plan at all except "well I'm armed" (and I'll admit at this point in my life I'm one of them
- the difference is I know it and ain't kidding myself). Won't matter much. Beats being unarmed with no plan or preparation for sure, but if you don't have any plan for food, water, shelter, medicine/medical supplies, mobility, and your plan and your survival are contingent upon access to gasoline and a functional electrical grid…yeah having a gun is about the ONLY thing you've got going for you and I predict you die or find yourself "conquered" or worse soon enough.
The really funny thing to me is when, as you say, some folks consider themselves prepared for the apocalypse by virtue of having dozens of guns and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition…and about one weeks worth of food supplies
. That's just hilarious to me. And they say well we can hunt food and grow food…if **** has actually hit the fan the first few weeks ain't gonna be a good time to be out hunting
. Good grief people don't actually think about what this will all entail.
And I certainly see the value in having guns an ammo to arm more than just yourself, but a community, a militia. That makes sense under some circumstances. But if that's not why you're stocking up that much ammo….i heard it best from an old guy kind of dismissing or poking fun at a younger fella bragging about how much ammo he had saved for "the apocalypse"
"Boy if your plan is to survive enough firefights to actually need all that you're one hell of an optimist"
.
Again, no other supplies or plan besides guns and ammo. I'm with the old guy on this assessment.
