State of Emergency

What better time for Opposite Day "progressives" to have made obtaining the means of defense illegal? [More]

Meaning they're going to fight to keep it that way.  For public safety, you see.

That said, anyone who waits until streets and stores are likely to be closed has a lesson or two in preparedness they may learn, assuming they make it through to the other side. It reminds me of a woman I know, who will not "allow" guns in her home (disregard for a moment what she's prepared to do about it should someone bring one in anyway.) She has a relative who owns several, and she believes if the situation ever gets really serious, her husband can borrow one from him (assuming the relative is willing, someone can make it across town and back with the goods, that they can even figure out how to load whatever they end up with, and have been spared more than a handful of rounds to load it with.)

What better time to learn how to use a gun, and to develop the proper knowledge, skills, discipline and mindset, than at the very last minute, when determined enemies are advancing on your position?
