In France (as in the USA), the average farmer is 55 years old ; here nobody wants to work in agriculture so there are hundreds of farms to pick up and there's a market for local products (no middle man, cheaper prices).<BR/>I bet that people will have trouble getting by concerning food in the years to come and I'm having an agriculture training right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-296433463847266492008-10-10T13:56:00.000-07:002008-10-10T13:56:00.000-07:00Question with no easy answers right there.It depen...Question with no easy answers right there.<BR/>It depends a lot on how serious you are about firearms, your mindset, training ( or lack of) and physical condition.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I’d still get a gun and carry it at all times, but that’s just me. Maybe you can get a S&W revolver ( the ones with a lock) and carry the key with you at all times. <BR/><BR/>I carry the key to the place where my loaded guns are at all times around the neck, in a gold chain with a little cross, Holy Heart image, and a little image of the virgin Mary my wife gave me when we first started dating ( it’s all VERY small, I don’t carry an oz. of gold around the neck all day). <BR/>Point is, is you are responsible you can to that.<BR/><BR/>The best alternative is to simply buy a quality small safe and keep it there.<BR/><BR/>I’ve never heard of a depressed person using a blowtorch to open a safe to kill himself. <BR/>Other than that OC spray is better than nothing, a large knife or short machete is also a pretty lethal weapons in the right hands.<BR/><BR/>FerFALFerFALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578136334334588454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-48925197419999387112008-10-10T12:05:00.000-07:002008-10-10T12:05:00.000-07:00alternative to a firearm?Never bring a knife to a ...alternative to a firearm?<BR/><BR/>Never bring a knife to a gun fightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-17610788296037965782008-10-10T10:55:00.000-07:002008-10-10T10:55:00.000-07:00I have a question about protection.
