“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no
will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men
for evil purposes, but there are more good men than
evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the
path of righteousness by propaganda, they can
certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”
– Jeff Cooper
A true end-of-the-world scenario, with no electricity, power, or other
th
conveniences, could very well transform us into users of 19 century technology.
How likely this scenario could be is a matter of opinion, but it is something that should
give us a reason to prepare.
Modern Firearms
Most preppers and survivalists are familiar with the modern standby firearms: Glock, SIG,
AR, AK, shotgun, etc. We love them too and always have a few of each on hand, but an
unimaginable disaster could render them obsolete rather quickly. A high-end semiauto is
a thing of beauty with a stockpile of ammo and the skill in knowing how to use it, but what
happens when a part breaks and the factory and all its suppliers are gone?
