Sorry. I don't know how this double post occurred as my PC was completely off at the "sent" time. It must have been some kind of AOL glitch. Scott

Planning is the most important part. But firearms become more important in rural areas, areas without nearby neighbors, and in cases where physical limitations limit fleeing. Even so, planning is most critical: safe room location and configuration (doors, windows, cover, concealment, and clear lines of fire), drills/rehearsal, training family members, etc. Two: The political issue is usually stated as left-right, liberal-conservative, etc. This is misleading. The real issue is individualism vs. collectivism. Individualism is based on rights and responsibilities; there are lots of objective criteria here. Collectivism, unfortunately, can justify anything if it's for the common good.
