Personal Protection - DO YOU WANT a Gun?

As a devoted prepper among the items that I constantly consider is security. Whether that be whenever we are out and about or in an actual doomsday scenario and attempting to protect my family and food stores from the ones that are looking to go on it from me

No matter what associated with I have had several conversations with family and friends about security and the role of guns for protection and seem to be getting somewhat of a mixed response.

There are clearly two groups here, those that believe that in a situation where there is little or no government and order whenever a major emergency happens and the ones that think it could be bad for a day or two then all will be well.

AMMO SEEK  is that if group two is right, group one only wasted money on guns and ammunition. However, if group one is right then group two is likely to become section of the problem because they're suddenly going to function as have nots in a world where they have to survive.

So as far as having protection whether that's a gun, knife, stun gun or whatever it seems only logical to err on the side of caution. Having a gun and ammo doesn't mean you will become a Harley ridin' tattoo covered gun slinger. It's just a tool that when needed it's too late unless you have it.

I am not advocating that everyone go purchase a gun so when they answer their door they have a loaded handgun, but having one just in case and knowing how to utilize it only makes good sense.

So in speaking with friends and family the people in group two appear to like to say most people are shot making use of their own gun. I don't dispute that because many people who have guns aren't ready to use them or have never taken the time to understand about their use after the initial purchase and perhaps firing a bit at a range.

In real life if you feel the need to pull out and aim your gun at someone a couple of things have to happen. One you should be sure that the problem you are facing calls for the potential use of lethal force and two that you actually have the abilities and capability to proceed if that is needed. Unless you have those then you probably shouldn't have a gun and I'd recommend something less dangerous just like a stun gun.

Remember guns don't shoot people, people shoot people. If you use good judgement and are security conscience you might never need to use your gun, but if you do need it, it'd be a bad time to be thinking "I should have bought a gun."
