Countless books - fiction & non-fiction - have been written about this very situation... and we read them because we can vicariously live through the conflict with out LIVING THROUGH the conflict. I suppose a few of these books mention, or even focus on, those who have prepared well... but they tend not to reach best-seller lists as far as I have seen. If the 'golden rule' were followed, we would all be living in sustainable communities where owning guns to defend would be part of a last-ditch idea to defend against the criminally insane. What does it say about us that, on the whole, that is the first idea considered? As it stands, it looks like we will be living through a Mad Max-type world if anything momentous happens. You make a good point.
