Naw. He just hadn't thought any further than that. Both my sons are good hard working men that think as we do, other than seeing that **** will get bad one day. So far none of us are directly effected, and have been working full time.Perhaps that's THE mistake? Would he prep better if knowing you won't have his back?
I have many friends who say they just need a hand gun to fight their way to my house when SHTF...but I tell them...when that day happens, all they would be doing is coming over the house and donating their hand gun to me.
