Great start and thoughts about covering different situations. I'd suggest a propane generator instead of gas. Propane stores indefinitely and doesn't need to be treated. Plus, the carb on the generator doesn't foul up from old gas. And, you can also use the propane tanks for a outdoor grill, portable stove or portable heater, so it covers multiple situations. Then, get some deep cycle 12 volt batteries, a battery charger and a inverter, and you can run basic electrical items (lamps, charge phones, small TV, charge laptops) from the batteries, and not run the generator continually, which saves fuel. This way, you just run the generator to charge the batteries, get the fridge cold again and cycle the furnace.

I read that, and wondered where she was going with it.

Peel is finally approaching a possible prepper status... she's just crawling, and hasn't even stood up yet. So suggesting she go down to the river with a lifestraw or filter/pump to get water, at THIS stage, makes zero sense. Hell. I bet half the people in this thread, probably couldn't do it. So, here's is the place for her to start: This is the first baby step to start with, then add additional methods to supplement. Crawl before you walk, walk before you run. After that, she should focus on alternative power, heat, cooking and food..... I believe she has the security part covered with her .22LR.

She doesn't have an extra can of soup in her house, but you're suggesting she goes and drinks water through a straw or filter at a local river? Really?

The Survival Rule of Threes: The Rule of Threes states, humans can survive three weeks without food, three days without water, three hours without shelter, and three minutes without oxygen.

You could always buy your Dr. Pepper in 2 liter bottles, and when they're empty, fill them with water.

Kinda follows, don't save silver or gold, just lead and brass, because with lead and brass, you can get all the silver and gold that you want!

I read the transcript and it is a bunch of bullshit. They spent WAY too much time dancing around damages and if stopping for coffee was allowed when going to the range. Very little was talked about in the big picture of 2A restrictions. They were more focused on stupid stuff like, "is driving to a range in Staten Island OK, but driving to a range in Westchester not?" Or does a Premise Permit allow you to protect yourself outside your home. Very little was discussed on the overall infringement of the NY laws, it was all too narrow, focused on bullshit, stupid points.

Some small snippets were posted, if these are true, it sounds like they had to play defense, instead of offense: ....."Paul Clement, who argued on behalf of three gun owners in New York and a state affiliate of the National Rifle Association, argued that the case was still active because his clients could potentially seek monetary damages in the future. Clement, who argued for 20 minutes, had little time to address the merits of New York’s gun regulation. Instead, he spent nearly all of his arguments fielding questions from the court’s liberal wing about why the justices should rule on the case at all. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who is known to have an expansive view of the Second Amendment, did not ask any questions. All in all, the justices spent just a few minutes probing the key constitutional question that gun-control activists feared would be on the table and that gun-rights groups hoped the court would address. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/02/supreme-court-shows-little-appetite-for-expanding-gun-rights.html It also seems that a lot of time was focused on economic harm and damages, instead of the constitutionality of the law.

I think many know how it will go (the ones paying attention)... WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court seemed unlikely to deliver a major win for gun-rights activists during arguments on Monday in the first significant Second Amendment case the justices have heard in nearly a decade. While some of the court’s conservatives, including Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito, seemed eager to use the case to address the reach of the Second Amendment, it appeared likely after an hour of arguments that Chief Justice John Roberts would side with the court’s liberals to dismiss the matter altogether as “moot,” or no longer an active controversy. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/02/supreme-court-shows-little-appetite-for-expanding-gun-rights.html

We use their targets too, and just staple splatter targets on top. Ha... don't worry, if you make a minor mistake, the tower Nazi will "remind" you, we've all been there... that's why he makes the big bucks! Just buy theirs, it's also probably easier for the RO when he's checking the line, it's what he's use to looking for, versus some abnormal flag.

I always bring a case of generic canned soda, and we shake the cans before putting them out. They explode pretty good! The range Nazi has never said anything about them.

It's OK to set up multiple different targets. We set up a few at different distances, depending if it's for handgun or rifle. I also mix it up, and bring some filled soda cans and water bottles that I dye different colors. Just as a change from punching holes in paper.

It's getting tougher and tougher to tell which ones are the real animals, the two legged ones or the four legged ones. I have much more respect for the four legged ones!

You win! ....."The attacker shot dead on London Bridge was known to police and had connections to terror groups, according to reports. According to The Times, the attacker was a convicted terrorist who had been released from prison after he agreed to be monitored by authorities. A security source told PA news agency he was known to police and had connections to Islamist terror groups." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/london-bridge-attacker-identity-attack-video-stabbing-incident-latest-a9227061.html

That is the starting point, and it starts when they start walking. Teaching them to be honest and responsible, EARLY in life, is the first point of business. Yes, kids will be inquisitive, and might search around. That's why it's important in the beginning to teach them that bad choices have bad consequences. Having to build Fort Knox in your house, because junior can't be trusted, and ignores what you tell him and ignores the rules, well, there's bigger issues there than the guns... In that case, maybe the guns shouldn't even be in the house. So yes, everything STARTS with education and respect, across the spectrum. Your situation is a bit different than most here, since it's part of your daily profession, so it has to be handled appropriately. There are different situations in different houses that need to be handled accordingly. Hell, some of the wives don't want guns in the house. Ha.. there are some guys here that could probably write you a short novel on that topic.

That wasn't advice, it was a question.

True, but some trolls still come back to post, no matter what the quantity of their posts are. We have to take the good with the delusional.

Apparently, the question was too difficult, since it was more than 3 words.

There's a video on this link showing bystanders fighting with the guy, then the cops come in. I'm not sure, listen for the shot and what the cops were doing. Maybe they were concerned about the vest, but they backed off and shot him, instead of joining the bystanders to restrain him: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10451300/london-bridge-knifeman-heroes-shot/?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=sunmaintwitter&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1574415283
