Any CCW people here?

Good for you that you are prepared.  Me I like eating fresh fruits and vegetables and meat.

I love it when you become so self righteous.

That statement has to be the biggest non-sequitur I've read in a long time.

Why do you believe that having some long term food storage would force you to change you're daily meal habits?

Nobody is asking you to change your daily shopping and eating habits, just to consider putting something aside for the proverbial rainy day as well.  Like thousands of people in storms like Sandy and Katrina wish they had, or thousands who face sudden unemployment or unexpected medical bills.

Not to mention that the stores will not have anything on shelves in which to explore days.

perhaps these unprepared types are the study of Darwin "Survival of the fittest" theory. Might be a good thing, ya know?

An Atlanta big buck lawyer shot his wife from the back seat with his gun from the glove compartment.  His story was the driver made a bad turn into a bad neighborhood.  His wife sitting in the front seat handed him his gun at his request to him in the back seat.  His story is he feel asleep with the gun held and laying in his lap, woke up startled and pulled the trigger by accident shooting her through the seat in the back.

Guns have their place but it takes a very cool head to protect with lethal weapons.  Note the number of bad decisions police personal have made.  What we need is a better testing method for CCW and police type jobs to weed out people that made bad decisions under pressure.

Now i do not have have any real food storage but here in the USA I really should with with some over due natural disasters looming.  Just makes sense to have a few MRE's on hand if things happened.  I do not have any but should have.

I live in a very small apartment, I barely have enough space for 3 days worth of food.

Anther thing, where I live, there's no hurricanes. No tornadoes, nothing like that. It doesn't snow or rain more than a couple of inches. There's no flooding.

The problem is food source interruption on a global scale like a Super volcano eruption or meteor collision with earth.  Odds are in our favor but being prepared is not a bad idea.

Well I myself have made dozens of good decisions under pressure with firearms and Im nobody special. In fact thousands of legally armed Americans make good decisions every day that you never hear of.

You hear the few "allegations" cause they sell newspapers and then somehow transpose those "few allegations" into a thing you call "common" in a country of 330,000,000 people that crosses four time zones. The truth is CCW incidents are extremely rare, I havnt heard of one in a city of 3,000,000 since they instituted the Law. And there is no way to weed out people for bad decisions they might make in the future. The Pre-Crime unit isnt up and running yet.

I wouldnt be so quick to criticize on a subject you seem to know little of. After you chase a gangster for a few blocks, exchange fire with him, find him 10 mins later full of holes and the gun recirculating in the neighborhood armory, then come back and lecture me on the bad decisions Police make. Its gotten to the point the only good decision is to make no decision and as long as he's running away from you why risk your freedom and paycheck?

Rich is was not meant to criticize our law officers just point out the need to weed out the very few bad decision makers.  I so much dislike the prosecution of our law officers when the problem should be focused on the officer selection process.

Worse yet as it should be understood that in most every case the perp was not doing as the officer asked. The perp usually sets the value of their life.

Sig Sauer P227 SAS Gen2 Carry.  A bit pricey but a joy to shoot.  Very pleased with it.

I bought a Sig 290RS to carry a while back. Found it to be larger than I liked so bought a S&W Bodyguard 380. It's just right.You can see the size difference is significant in my pic.
