Why Preppers Need Guns?

Firearms Play a Vital Role in Your Defensive Plan One of the many adages of the prepper world is, “If you can’t defend it, you don’t own it.” If you’re new to the preparedness lifestyle, this saying basically means that all of your supplies, your stockpiles, your carefully selected buckets of food, and the time and money you spent on preparation will be for naught if you can’t protect it against those who may seek to take it from you.  This is generally accepted as a truth in the prepper community. Most of us believe that we must be prepared to defend ourselves and our property without relying on any type of “authorities” to protect us. To me, preppers and guns go together like peas and carrots.I strongly believe that firearms are a necessary part of a home defesne plan. So imagine my surprise when I got a negative response to a meme I posted shortly after the massacre in Paris. As it turns out, there are quite a few people in the lifestyle that actually do not believe in having firearms. Here are some of the comments that followed the meme, as well as comments from another discussion opened on the topic. I respectfully disagree. That is what has fueled this situation already. Only a coward thinks that everyone should be armed. Oh. What a shame that you posted this – and I enjoyed your page. Bail! I do not trust my fellow citizens to know how to safely take out a bomber without also potentially killing my loved ones! Do you want that bloodshed on your hands?   What????????? Not everyone believes preppers need guns (Edited to add) I wrote this article before the shootings in San Bernadino.  Despite the noisy refrain of people begging for gun control, despite that ridiculous and misleading “mass shootings map” (more on that HERE), I haven’t changed my stance one bit. In fact, it just solidifies my belief that we need to be prepared at all times to protect our families. These people were at an office Christmas party when things went down, not a place one would normally expect to need to be armed. This says to me that there are no places that are immune to danger. You have the inherent human right to protect your own life and the lives of others. I understand not having a firearm if you live in a place where they are not available. (I spent 18 years in Canada and was unable to arm myself there.)  But when you’re blessed to be in a place with access to the tools you need to keep your family safe, it seems like just another prep to me. But obviously not everyone feels this way. Check out this lady who was on an episode of Doomsday Preppers. Hat tip to Erica from Living Life in Rural Iowa for the link to this video (You can check out the entire episode here.) The thing that I believe it’s important to remember here is that if you have stacked your supplies to the rafters but refused to plan for defending your home and family, you’ve basically just made them bait should a desperate situation arise. Here are some reasons why preppers need to be armed. Reason #1: Those who are desperate, unprepared, and feel entitled to be cared for Remember Black Friday?  People climbed all over each other for cheap electronics. Fist fights erupted over vegetable steamers. People were ready to throw down and do battle for sale items. I’d hazard a guess that folks who spend time and money fighting over electronics are not the kind of people who prep. That means that these are the people who will be hungry in a long-term disaster.  Look at those people, stampeding to get to a sale on things that they don’t actually need to survive. Their inhibitions are loosened because those around them are behaving in the same way. You have to look at the psychology of this. People can justify pretty much anything when they or their children are starving. And I can understand that to a large degree – who could stand to watch their babies suffering?  But if someone can devolve to the above degree just to because everyone else is doing it, the chaos we saw above is only a tiny sample of what could come if people were truly hungry. Do you really feel like you could prepare them one meal and they’d go away politely? Do you really think that reason and a polite but firm conversation will be sufficient to make them go away? It only takes one person to start the charge against you in a tense scenario, and when that happens, unless you take swift and shocking action, the others will follow, and your retreat will be overcome. Sort of like when the walkers overtook the prison after the fence got knocked down on The Walking Dead. Reason #2: Those who are planning to take the supplies of others But wait, there’s something even worse out there than the hungry unprepared. There are the folks who have built an entire preparedness plan around taking the things that other preppers have stored. Remember this guy from another episode of Doomsday Preppers? If you aren’t ready for people like this, your survival retreat is a soft, easy target. These people are not nice, but desperate. Their entire survival plan hinges on taking what someone else has […]
