I have been preparing our food storage but I am not prepared to use my gun I bought 1 year ago. It kind of scares me.

Lu and I follow basically the same path but we've thrown competition into the mix. It's not for everyone but it was an eye opener for me. Frankly, when I started I was awful and that's after 9 years in the Army and 24 as a cop.
