Prepare NOW II

Advising what to do with guns and ammo is kind of hard, not knowing what is going to happen. If martial law is put into effect, they could come around and attempt to confiscate all of our weapons and all of our ammo. At the very least they would want all weapons registered. Many people would hide their weapons and their ammo. While this would keep the government from getting them, they would be rather useless to the owners too. However, if push comes to shove, mine will be hidden along with everyone elses. Anyone who has the space should consdider getting an old chest type freezer now and burying it now. If you buryed one for food as I suggested, do not bury the second one too close. The one you bury for your guns need not even be used at the present time, but if you need it quickly, there it is. Make sure the seal on the lid is good so that no moisture can get in and have desicant on hand to put in with the guns when you put them in. One of the large old chest type freezers will hold a lot of guns and a lot of ammo. Oil your guns good before putting them in storage and use plenty of desicant packages and you should be okay. Another way to go, if you want to hide guns individually is to use PVC pipe. Cap one end solid and use a pipe plug on the other end. Put your gun and a supply of ammo in each pipe and bury them. Use a post hole digger and bury them vertically and they will be harder to detect. Start next to a large tree and angle the digger so that the hole is mostly under the tree and it will be next to impossible, even with a metal detector to find the gun.

For those of you wo do not believe that such a thing could happen as martial law and gun confiscation, think again. While many of our troops would not come and confiscate our guns, there are many foreign troops training in America that would be more than glad to do the job. My feeling is that is why they are here. They are here to do any dirty work that our own troops would not carry out against other Americans. Most of these foreign troops are from countries that have draconian gun laws and would think nothing of taking ours away. So, while I hope it never happens, it is better safe than sorry.

Have somewhere to go in case of an emergency. It could very well be that cities will be overrun with roving gangs and other scum that you would rather not be around. Having somewhere to get away from the rioting and other lawlessness may well be your only salvation. The reason I say this is that I feel before martial law is declared there will be a period of pure anarchy. The government will let this happen so that the can claim that the martial law is necessary. I do not know how long they will let this anarchy go on, but it will be long enough for the average head in the armpit citizen to cry to the government for help. They will not get off their butt to help themselves, and they will take anything that the government offers. They will sit and drink beer and watch the idiot controlled media tell them that they will be better off as slaves and they will go along with it. Just do not take their beer, sports and inane so-called entertainment away from them.

Should you decide to hide guns and ammo, hide them on your getaway place if you have one. If you cannot afford to get your own place, maybe you know someone with land where you could park a camper of even a tent. This would be temporary until you saw how things played out. The important thing is to plan ahead and act for your and your families safety.

Preparing NOW!!

While I have been on several breaks for family medical reasons, many things have happened. Since I wrote my last planning article in Oct. the demlicans have taken over the house and the senate. Laws have been passed that will take away more of the few freedoms we have left. Other laws have been proposed that would put us under a virtual dictatorship, (yes even worse than now). We are sending all of our troops to fight an unwinnable war in Iraq while our southern border is being breeched by invaders. Anyone who has not at least started to prepare had better start. I do not think that it will be long before the inevitable happens. I believe we are looking at martial law within the next two years. Why? With Mexicans and other invaders pouring over the border every day, people will soon get tired of it and take things into their own hands. When that happens the government will declare martial law, not to help Americans but to help the invaders while taking away all of our constitutional rights. With all of our troops overseas fighting in Afganistan and Iraq, do not be surprised if you see foriegn troops patroling our streets in a martial law situation. The time to prepare is now. If you have already started, speed up your preparation. Today I am just going to give a quick recap of how, what and why.
Next week I may go deeper into this aspect of survival.

Food comes first. Under martial law, HOARDING may become illegal. This means that no one is to have more than a three day supply of food or the government can confiscate it to give to people who have less. You may want to had a certain amount of your food, especially any freeze dried food you may have. You may want to bury an old refrigerator or freezer and fill them with all types of food that will keep. I have always advised a two year supply of food on hand at all time and I still do, but with the warning that if you do not hide it and martial law is put into effect, you may lose it. I am going to depend more on gardening, hunting, fishing and gathering wild foods myself. While I know that everyone cannot do this, all who can should make plans now. You might also want to find other ways besides firearms for your hunting. With martial law, gun confiscation may not be far behind. While you may turn you guns in or you may hide them, either way you will not have them to use. Learn to use a bow, a crossbow, a slingshot, whatever you can take food animals with. If you have enough land to have a hidden garden plot on, you might want to do that too, just in case someone would decide you raised too much food for just your family.

I think it is time to turn any investment you have into silver or gold. Money in the bank will do you no good. Stocks and bonds will do you no good. Land is a good investment only if you have a personal use for it. If it is a retreat of sorts, by all means buy it if you can afford it and need it. People who live in medium to large cities will need this option most. Smaller towns and rural people will probably be safe enough where they are. You know what your area is like and only you can make that decision. My first investment woud be in silver as it is less expensive and comes in small enough denominations that you can do your day to day commerce with it. If you can find it, pre 1964 American coins are the best. These should be followed by one ounce rounds and bars. When you have enough of these that you feel will see you through a couple of months (I opt for a three month supply) than you can either purchase silver in the five or ten ounce bars or go directly to gold. With both silver and gold, purchase common dates and not collectables and numismatically priced coins. Here again take care of where you keep these investments. This country has confiscated gold once and it is possible that they could do it again. They have never confiscated silver, but it is not a possibility. Another reason to keep silver and gold is the coming North American Union. This will be the undoing of our currency and gold and silver will be your only hope. This will be another cause of massive rioting in this country. When enough people wake up to what is taking place, I do not believe that they will stand for it. Again, a reason for martial law.

I am going to end this here for this week and pick it up again next week. I will write at least on column per week and possibly two until I get through this subject.
