PREPARE Magazine discusses self-defense, home firearms, and protection for preparedness. We posed a question on the PREPARE Magazine Facebook Page which asked: “Is the preparedness movement too focused on guns?” We enlisted the help of other well known, outspoken Preparedness trainers, authors and leaders to help us gather feedback from their Facebook friends as well. The conclusions we have come to are, that this is topic with deep dividing lines, strong convictions and differing opinions. Not that these was a surprising conclusions, but two of the threads that ran through both sides were surprising. Both those who felt that the emphasis on guns was too prevalent and those who saw a high emphasis as necessary, were the two common threads of ‘balance’ and ‘skill trumps stuff.’
It is with these underlying common threads of balance and skill that we have approached this potentially hot theme of Weaponry.
