That’s why I’d like a gun collective. They’re kept access controlled, and have a range and an ammo loading rig and some cleaning stations and earplugs and stuff. That way not only would I have access to well-maintained guns and ammo in a SHTF scenario, but I’d also have a place to get good without keeping them at home.
The preppers never made sense to me. The world ends and you want a weapon. For what? To murder someone over the last loaf of bread? In a disaster the best way to get out of it is to team up with other pool, share and trade resources. My life is much more secure if I am surrounded by people who have enough vs people who don’t.
What kinda person thinks to themselves “oh the world ends guess I can finally commit all those murders that I wanted to” vs “the world ended let’s start planting some crops and depend on shared resources until then”?
Unless having it puts you at higher risk of suicide, in which case maybe don’t have it.
You’re more likely to injury or kill yourself or family than an intruder, so there’s that too.

Seems like a great way to try out different kinds too.
I want a hippie version of a Rod & Gun Club. Community garden, shooting range, picnic and camping areas, managed foraging paths.
Oregon seems like a place that would exist. I have no evidence whatsoever of it, it just feels right
I think you are describing a gun club.

In some places, part of obtaining a firearms license involves being a member of good standing at a range.
Not in America of course, where pinkie promising you know what you’re doing and won’t leave you gun laying around is good enough.
