We're moderately prepped for hurricanes since we live in an area that gets them. We joke about the zombie apocalypse, etc., but I would never actually prep for anything severe/nonweather-related unless I had some indication of a very serious situation developing. It would take...I don't know what, but intimations of extremely dangerous mass chaos...for me to ever agree to having a gun in the home. The stats on that are virtually inarguable for me. (Owning a gun substantially ups your risk of someone in your home being harmed by one.)
