I think you are wise. Both QDrop 34 & 35 indicate when this thing goes down, you will not want to be on the streets looking for food, meds etc. And while most Americans on this board have guns, I’ve heard it said that while the Military are rounding up the criminals- they have said repeatedly that the Military needs to do their jobs and that means no well meaning civilian stepping forward with a gun in their hand offering to help. Your family needs you at home with them and not languishing in some Military lock-up while they figure out that you are friend, not foe. Remember how the word got around NOT to turn up on some date recently but the FBI soy boys turned up in their civvie uniforms on and Patriots knew immediately why they were there! That time. It’s up to the wives too to prepare your family, especially the children with board games, books etc. Your local thrift shop has excellent games to keep little ones occupied. It will be the teens that families will find the hardest to amuse. They have lived their lives on their iPhones. There may not be power also. Keeping them home and safe will be a challenge for many families. I’m sure the prepping forums will give some great advice regarding this.
