I'm checkin in everyday……….. just extremely busy!

I decided to spend less time on forums and more time on prepping.  This economic crisis isn't going to blow over anytime soon (my conclusion) and is likely to get far worse (also my conclusion).

Like the Great Depression of the 1930s and the Stagflation of the 1970s, government is responding by continually throwing money at the problem and hoping some of it works its magic.  I would rather take matters into my own hands by taking charge of my own economic future.

For the best job security, maybe I should consider becoming a plumber.

Here's to Sourdough!! Unless we keep him updated, when it all comes down, he'll never know it happened!!

How will he know then? It could be an illusion or a figment of our imaginations…….or his.

I'm here on stand-by waiting for a good topic to jump on.

Where is EN and Indiucky, both were good posters.

By the way I saw a video of a Pizza place armed robbery by 2 guys.  One had a revolver and the other what looked like a sawed-off rifle or shotgun.  It made me re-think my idea of getting a snub nose (yes, I'm still not carrying).  I thought if I had been sitting in there I may have just handed the wallet along with the snub revolver . Five little bullets, out of a little guns does not seem like much against multiple opponents, even if they're armed with junk guns.

Jamie, glad you got to field test your preps.

I have been taught that your best fight is the one you avoid…. which is USUALLY a good choice. 

So if scum have weapons at the ready and only want money just give it to them mmhmmm.

If it appears to be more serious than a simple robbery and all you have is a 5 shot snubby…… the first round better go off when the barrel is as close to the brain stem of bad guy #1 as possible. 

 

I remember reading about an off duty cop carrying a .25 who killed 2 gang-bangers (armed with 9mm's) who walked into and started shooting up a club his wife was working in. He drew his puny .25 and charged them without firing until he could place the muzzle to their heads…. yeah he got shot-up bad, but in this instance he lived and the 2 punks with 9mm's died.

I don't go to the "other site" any more. It's pretty much crap.  

It's OK my prodigal child.

OK GTA members, this forum is still sucking pretty bad.  So I hereby commission everyone with the responsibility to open a thread that will generate at least 20 responses.  This includes you as well, Sourdough, so I don't care if you post about bears doing it with moose — just post something.  And no, MW, a repeat of the Girls with Guns is not acceptable, no matter how desperate we get.

Sample topics included: Zombies, Caliber wars, SHTF scenarios with biker gangs, and yes, of course, the bread and butter topics, hallmark of this forum, finance, gold and the US economy going to hell.

So chop, chop, lets do this in an orderly manner, starting with the highest post count members.

Jarhead, your turn to the bat.

Don't think I forgot about you, Druid.  Go ahead, delve into the wonders of socialism.
