I’ve had this conversation
“I’ll Come To Your Place When SHTF” – No You Won’t
People see the Unc Cave and are all like “Man, when the zombies come, I’ll be here.” Sorry, no. I have enough for my family and bit more for extended family. That’s what I’ve budgeted and spent money on. Sorry, I will turn you away unless you have something I need, be it a skill or something physical.

Same here,I told several if you want to invest in preps, and want to build up stock I’ll help you, but no don’t show up empty handed

A U-Haul full of coffee and Chef-Boyardee products in cans?

Amen to that!

He went from reasonable to butthurt: Wah, wah, why didn’t the world end already? It’s so unfair. If the world doesn’t end, I wasted time and money for nothing!

I read/heard someone say that their response to that is “Bring your daughter and we can negotiate.” Usually shuts em right up 😀
Personally, I tell folks they can come to my house but it will be empty. I’ll likely have evacuated before they even realize there’s a problem.

I just went around the block, wrote down the locks my neighbors had on their doors, and got the master keys for them.

That was a joke. I did not do that.

My outlook is; “If you didn’t make the effort to prepare like I have don’t expect me to share with you when/if the bad times come.”

Friend said something like that to Jerry Miculek. Jerry said, “sure, just bring 10,000 rounds with you”

As far as we know……
Either way….made me smile.

Supplies? What supplies? Guns? I have no idea what anyone is going on about and my house will surely be abandoned if anything bad happens. I will need to seek higher ground. Or something.
Guns are those loud black things with shoulder things that go up, right? Yeah, I don’t own any of those, or any food, or any other useful items. Sorry.

“Sure thing, come on over. I’m a little short on long pig in the pantry. “
October 24th, 2014 at 3:31 pm
Just tell them “the brothel is full”.

I think Adam Lawson has it figured out. That is, maybe. I’m not sure what anyone is talking about, now that I think about it. “Prepping”? That’s what my wife does before she goes out, and it doesn’t involve food or guns. The only food in my house is the leftovers in the take-out bags, molding in the refrigerator. Dunno; maybe you can take it and make your own penicillin. You’re welcome to it. Just don’t open that door over there or I’ll kill you– There’s nothing to see in there…

Just had that conversation yesterday as a matter of fact.
“When the ZA comes, I’m going to your place.”
“Only as a zombie.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“I have enough resources for my family. Anyone else will get shot. I can’t afford non-contributing parasites.”
That conversation ended pretty quickly.

And don’t think running for the hills will help either, they’re already full of people who don’t want your flatlander ass up there.
October 26th, 2014 at 6:58 pm
I too have used the “bring your teenage daughter” line.
Not only did it end that conversation … they’ve not spoken to me since.

This came up on an East TN gun forum recently, too — maybe because of that article. It seems to me that you want people of high quality with you, whether they are prepped or not. I can think of friends I would happily accept, and family members who would be sent away (by one means or another). After all, those who organize and grow their groups will be more likely to succeed in restoring order and prosperity. Good people are vital to that process.
