kathy cross You are SUCH a team blue person! It’s a shame honestly! No, in all seriousness this is a good time to think about how to protect your family. I certainly have including some weapons training for my wife, a new shotgun with a plan to store it in a place we can easily access it and training for my 160 lb mastiff. I got one of those dog bite sleeves things on the way, he already loves to bite and hold my arm when we are playing, I want to encourage that ESPECIALLY when I am not around.
He is a sweet dog but we had someone try to come and walk him one day when we were not there and the coworker said he was already there by the time she opened the door and was snarling and showing his teeth…and he knew her! So, good luck to anyone thinking about taking what’s mine or harming my family!
Now, if someone had peanutbutter Brutus would stop snarling right away and do whatever they wanted probably!

For scale, the one in front is 95 lb
Jonathon Only bad thing about a shotgun right now is, you can’t find any 00 Buckshot!

Tex_77 Yeah AMO is the issue right now, hopefully everyone has enough to at least get them through a while. In all honestly I believe the chances to be extremely low that I will ever need that in a home defense instance and I can almost guarantee that all it will require is a single shell but yes, I’d feel a little better if I had more!
Parksider It looks like I know where to tell my inlaws to go if the s ever hits the fan!

I learned from a friend…that you can load rock salt for a “non lethal” or cut up pennies into pie wedges, excellent home defense load for people that have ability to reload.
Parksider or as Billy the Kid says in Young Guns, load it up with 18 dimes, “best dollar eighty I ever spent!”

Parksider THe salt thing I saw in Kill Bill 2 but always thought it was a fairy tale…interesting. However, I’m not terribly interested in a “warning shot” if I’m at the point where I’ve decided I need it, then I’ve already determined it is life of death.’
Wow, deep conversations for early in the morning on meatgistics!

Jonathon I really thought with your affinity for some of the Victorinox knives you have, you might prefer to get up close and personal with any intruder!
-
HAHAHAHA, That’s awesome, gotta put that on the watchlist. I also need to rewatch Tombstone “I’ll be your huckleberry!”
Parksider and it acually maybe from Young Guns II, but watch them both.

They don’t look like biters. My last golden retreiver tipped the scales at 140 and I thought he was big. He’d run a mile to lick your face.BTW… Don’t they say that dogs resemble their owners. And it looks like Brutus has a touch of “orange” about him. Hmm.
-
I defiantly am not a team blue. I only agreed with what u said about protecting your family during this crisis . Go team ORANGE!!!
-
That dog is a team orange dog. Just look at that face…
-
PapaSop Don’t make me paint my poor dogs blue! kathy cross He’s a very good boy, hence, team blue!
-
I can just see your dog now with a orange collar and leash. It’s not his fault you made him blue and sad!!

I believe that there is no such thing as to much ammo or firearms. And warning shots are considered a miss. I don’t think that we will get to that point here, but I believe that this is a wake-up call to many. I am not a prepper or doomsday proponent, but I was a Boy Scout and believe in being prepared. My family lived through WWII, concentration camps, depression, recession and the like. Always taught to be prepared and self sufficient. With all this free time availabe I am hoping to get a cold smoker set up and a curing chamber built. We used to have a French Mastiff, friendly dog, but you didn’t want to get on her bad side. Go team Orange

YooperDog I have a msaterbilt cold smoker and I have very good success with it

I will check them out. Initially I was going to modify one of my boxes to accept a cold smoke unit. Only a month or so before it will be to warm to cold smoke where I live. Thanks
