Samuel Colt made them equal." That is especially true if a petite 90 lb lady is being attacked by a burly 240 lb thug intent on harming her. It's also true for the older of us, or if we are faced with multiple attackers.Question often comes up, "What firearm I should buy?"We'll address that in this series, and give you five firearms we believe everyone should have, and the order in which they should be acquired, but the choice is yours.We look at a Short History of firearms, from the flintlock to the machine gun & their usage which will help us better understand where we are today.In tomorrow's episode we will answer the questions about which firearms most preppers should have. The answer is still, "it depends" but we'll talk about some specific firearms and make some recommendations.The choice to own or not own firearms is still a personal choice.The choices you make depend on what you believe may happen after SHTF. We expect to survive and continue with life, while protecting our family and putting food on the table.We expect the need for firearms in catastrophic SHTF event will be much more likely to be in providing food and personal defense than it will be in fighting the unwashed hoards, but..... we ARE prepared if the alien zombie frogs or the fire breathing ninja turtles show up.Please consider supporting the podcast by buying us a cup of coffee.
