    You’re more likely to injury or kill yourself or family than an intruder, so there’s that too.

      That’s why I’d like a gun collective. They’re kept access controlled, and have a range and an ammo loading rig and some cleaning stations and earplugs and stuff. That way not only would I have access to well-maintained guns and ammo in a SHTF scenario, but I’d also have a place to get good without keeping them at home.

          I want a hippie version of a Rod & Gun Club. Community garden, shooting range, picnic and camping areas, managed foraging paths.

            Oregon seems like a place that would exist. I have no evidence whatsoever of it, it just feels right

        I think you are describing a gun club.

        The preppers never made sense to me. The world ends and you want a weapon. For what? To murder someone over the last loaf of bread? In a disaster the best way to get out of it is to team up with other pool, share and trade resources. My life is much more secure if I am surrounded by people who have enough vs people who don’t.

        What kinda person thinks to themselves “oh the world ends guess I can finally commit all those murders that I wanted to” vs “the world ended let’s start planting some crops and depend on shared resources until then”?

        In some places, part of obtaining a firearms license involves being a member of good standing at a range.

        Not in America of course, where pinkie promising you know what you’re doing and won’t leave you gun laying around is good enough.
