Sorry, didn't mean to offend at all. I don't actually consider "those" Americans to be crazy (I know several who fit into this category but appear totally sane to me and happen to be my friends), but I guess I was just recognizing that I know they come off that way. Personally, "stockpiling" guns, ammo, and food seems like a perfectly rational thing to do.

No problem. And actually, my dh's side of the family probably could be called crazy, rofl. His mom was certifiable, but his dad really isn't. He is a jailer where he lives, and lemme tell ya, NO ONE would dare go to his house unannounced. And he is bigger on gun safety than anyone I've ever known. We are about to take a long vacation to his place, and we'll be doing ALOT of shooting. Very good opportunity for our kids to learn even more about gun safety.

Most of my Mom's side of the family is "crazy" (some certifiable). My dad's side is the complete opposite (well, crazy in a very different way).
