Happy memorial to all. Thanks to those that have served and blessed be those are lost and wounded.
Yesterday as I was loading up the car for a 200 mile trip the coast I was wondering, am I paranoid? Anytime I take an overnight trip with the family I pack a pistol, shotgun, and a 22LR with a 50 cal ammo can full for each weapon. It's a small percentage of my home preparedness but I would feel stupid and scared if we had a big earthquake or other "event" and I only had my EDC with a few mags.
It's not much of an inconvenience. The ammo cans are always full setting next to the safe. I just pack up the long guns and load it in the back of the SUV with the other SHTF supplies that are always there. My wife knows me better than to even bring the issue up and although I do get the rolling eyes from her as I'm loading up I think she sees some practicality in it.
I just wanted to bounce my actions off the board. If a few others here do the same I would consider myself sane. If this seems overkill to most than ill admit I'm paranoid but won't seek help to change my actions. What say you???
