Gold will not always get you guns but guns will always get you gold.
Moral of the story ? If you can not defend yourself then all the preparations and full store houses are in vain.
I remember before Y2K talking to people and them talking about all the stuff they had "stockpiled." I would always ask them how much ammo they had and would get a blank look about 1/2 the time.
I would tell them that they needed to be prepared to defend what they had. They would then mumble something like "I never thought about that."
