I have officially been given the go ahead to buy a new AR...

AFTER tax returns... lol.. well it's a start! Talked with the wife and she has agreed to allow the purchase of an AR and a case of ammo. The plan is to start really stepping up teaching her how to shoot and be comfortable with our current firearms as well as have something to take larger game with... as much of a HUGE ak fan as I am (don't hate me wash)... I'm going with the AR because I know my wife will have an easier time getting use to the sights on it and dealing with the not-so-there recoil of the ar. Also we are going to start purchasing water purification tablets and non-parishable foods. Watching the aftermath in New York had caused me to refocus on making sure my family can survive after a major natural disaster.

I have always tried to be ready for stuff like that. Learned my lesson in 93 with ice storm. We survived, I'm not a total dumb country boy. Although I was 18 at the time and I don't think being prepared to take care of a wife and 2 yr old is on a lot of 18 year old mind it changed my outlook on life. We were 2 weeks no power and couldn't get out of the house, I live in a swamp 20 miles from the closest town. Glad you and your wife are looking ahead. It took my wife awhile to get on board but she is now no doubt. Always telling to me to get this and get that.

yeah my wife has always been pretty supportive when I talk about stuff like this but this is the first time she's really said "yes, spend the money for this stuff" and not "one day we can do that".
