Preppers

[Bob Denman]

I never said that it'd be the only firearm that I was carrying...
For starters:
Old slabsides in a Galco S.O.B. rig, with twin magazine carriers on the belt...
A P-85 high-capacity 9mm (18 rounds), with twin magazine carriers also on the belt...

I also can stow a Seecamp LC-32 in my front pocket...

The sidearms alone, are good for 81 rounds worth of "persuiasion".

Never mind the other pistols, shotguns, rifles, and my Missus with her firepower... :thumbup:

If they want to dance: I've got the music for them! :roflblack: nojoke

Okay folks...we have now turned to a discussion of what to use to kill people that are trying to steal stuff from us. I don't think that was the original discussion line of the OP.

The end is near... An appropriate pun????

For what it is worth, I have 2 of these. Mine are the older model that do not have the transparent section so you can see when it needs cleaning. Got spare filters and pre-filters for them. They fine for getting by when the hurricanes knock the power out. Often it is storming outside with 100 MPH winds and you not gonna want to go out to the pump and run the generator. I always store at least 10 gallons of water before the hurricane hits, but if it tears down all the power lines, that might not be enough. The filters are mostly for back up plan B.

Anything under the ground in Florida is full of water or soon will be. I have plenty of water. Most of the time the power is out during hurricanes or tropical storms and 10 inches of rain a day is falling from the sky. Also have a stocked pond 100 feet behind the house. Water is not a problem.

Another thing about generators is the gas going bad. Have to put stabilizer in it and even then rotate it out at least once a year. They do have generators that run on LP gas and it does not go bad like gasoline. It is in small tanks and compressed so it takes up less space. Never got around to buying an LP generator. Not so handy to move around when you need power back in the field or some remote location.

There are conversion kits for gas generators to make them tri-fuel, gas, propane, or natural gas. I converted mine after hurricane Charley. I was in Tampa but lent the generator to a friend in Punta Gorda where it hit. They were without electricity for a month. He said the generator was great but he spent most of his day searching for gas stations with fuel and then waiting in line. A 250 gal propane tank isn't too expensive and will last a bit and can be connected to a gas grill as well.

Yup! propane is also a more stable fuel to store... :thumbup:

For home defense: go with a 12 gauge pump-action shotgun! nojoke
You can load anything from #12 birdshot in it; all the way up to slugs that'll put a hole in an engine block! :thumbup:

Maybe this guy can help me pick one out
