  1. I'm over off West End and 440. Down Murphy Road. I work in Green Hills, at Whole Foods. If the SHTF I'll bring the organic survival supplies. I'm totally down with a meetup/planning meet up. Let me know.
  2. Well, I'm newly married, and relatively poor. So my wife and I sit down and pay the bills together, whatever money is leftover after everything is paid (including mutual eating out money) we split down the middle. And that's for whatever we want. For me it's guns, knives, and cameras. Her it's clothes, and crafty things. Seems to work well. Whenever there's a major purchase, I may kick in some money I make freelancing. I'm a photographer/photographer's assistant by trade. But that's always discussed and agreed upon.
  3. I totally agree with ya, and I'm not saying that you shouldn't prepare for the worst... I'm personally just beginning to setup what I need to have around. I started with an Urban EDC bag with an assortment of gear that I take with me everywhere. Like I said, I'm pretty new to all of this.
  4. See, I think my opinion is different from the rest of what I'm reading. I'm pretty new to this forum but I definitely feel that survivability goes up in the context of community. I mean think about it, I'd want to be friends with a doctor. Sure I could learn to bandage a severe cut and maybe treat a serious infection but what about when you or a loved one comes down with an appendicitis? And on the flip side of that perhaps the doctor doesn't know how to properly protect themselves. I mean I feel like that would apply across the board though, you (or I) can't learn everything. How many of you are fully capable of maintaining your weapons after a cataclysmic failure?? I'd sure help a gunsmith protect him and his if he'd wrench on my Glock if I needed it. Secondly, I've read the Road, seen The Book of Eli, etc etc. I'm very interested in what I call post-apocalyptica. I loved the discovery channel's "Colony" but I also don't think that severe of breakdown of society will happen except in case of nuclear war or global plague, both of which while possible are distant possibilities. I feel that we're best to be prepared for disaster scenarios. Hurricane Katrina situations, UK riots, Japan's earthquakes and subsequent local nuclear catastrophe. I just have a hard time believing that a major economic decline here in the states would result in the end of civilization. I seriously think something like the first half of Stephen King's "The Stand" would need to happen for this scenario to come about, and those characters gravitated towards community as well. (Another good read is The Postman, if you like apocalyptic fiction). Anyway, just my two cents. - Aaron (a new gun owner, and burgeoning survivalist)
  5. They were. I just doubted what I remember, but that's what I thought. I'd still recommend Jeff. Great guy, and great class at half the price of anywhere else.
  6. It's a CW or HC rather permit. We can carry concealed correct?
  7. I took my CCW permit class with Jeff. I would highly, highly recommend. Very informative/fun for $65.
