I do not have children. My nieces and nephews are scattered around the country. When SHTF I will not go to them, nor do I expect they'll be able to get to me for safety. When SHTF, my Tribe consists of two: Me and my bride. My wife has my back. She's proven it in circumstances that are far beyond the experiences most married couples must test. I know for a fact that my wife would stand back to back with me and challenge the world with a knife in each hand, if that's what comes our way. She is not looking for a fight. But she knows a fight is likely, and that ultimately, we have no control over whether or not the fight comes to our door.
She is my Molly Pitcher. She agrees with most of my politics. She agrees with the effort I am investing in the III and the Liberty Movement. She understands the risks. She knows me and where I am willing to go if given no other choice. And she'll go with me...whatever the cost.
Where is your wife? Have you spoken to her about the Ruckus? I mean, really let her into your deepest thoughts about what you may be called upon to do for Liberty. Sometimes the best way to defend your home and hearth is to stay at home. Sometimes, defending your family is best accomplished by leaving them behind while you take the field. Is she willing to let you go? Have you taught her to handle the tools she'll need? Does she know her role if a Stack shows up at 4am for you?
Talking to the most important person in your world about these things is better today, before your house is filled with OpFor, or before you pack a Go Bag and decide to head for the Ruckus.
Resist!
Now!
