  • Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun.
  • Guns not in use must always be unloaded and their actions open. Guns should always be transported in cases to the shooting area.
  • Always be sure the barrel and action are clear of obstructions. Make sure you are using the proper size of ammunition for the gun you are using.
  • Always handle and carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle at all times. Be aware of all "safe directions".
  • Know your target and what is beyond it. Keeping your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
  • Never point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot. Guns are not toys. Avoid all horseplay while you are handling firearms.
  • Unattended guns should be kept unloaded. Guns and ammunition should be stored separately. All firearms should be kept in a secure place where children, careless adults and unauthorized persons cannot have access to them.
  • Never climb a tree, fence or jump a ditch with a loaded firearm. Never grab a firearm by the muzzle and/or barrel and pull it towards you.
  • Never shoot a gun at rocks, trees, and flat hard surfaces or at water. When target practicing make sure your backstop is adequate.
  • Avoid alcoholic drinks and drugs before and/or during shooting. Beware of over the counter medications…some slow down your reaction time.
Ballistics penetration tests. Know your caliber!

About Me:
When I started thinking way too much about zombies: I realized I was having nightmares about zombies. Typically this is because I have fears of unwinnable situations.

What started my zombie fixation:
Favorite zombie book: The Walking Dead
Favorite zombie movie: Also The Walking Dead
Favorite quote in any zombie movie: "Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun."

My Survival Plan:
My “handle” should you look for you on the radio waves or web: Don't have one yet
My location: OKC, OK
Is my plan dependent on zombies in your home town, or anywhere? No. I am working on a generic disaster readiness plan.
Will I be staying in my home or headed somewhere else? My house is a generic house on a generic street. I'll bug in for a while, then head to my BOL.
If I'm heading out, how do I plan to get there? My BOL is my mom's house. There are multiple ways to get there without using the highway and it is less than 45 minutes away normally.
Got anyone I want to take with me? My wife and my daughter
How will I communicate with the outside world, or do I plan to go the hermit route? CB/HAM
How am I planning to get food and water? I have a home garden but my BOL has a stocked pond, cows, chickens, guineas, pygmy goats, and a field full of game birds and other small animals. Water will come from solar stills, a solar powered water pump for the well water, or a mechanical windmill for the well water.
What’s my weapon of choice? Do you need to reload that thing? Gotta plan for that? Previously, my PT140 and my shotgun. Now? Sheila, my AR-15.
Got a survival philosophy? Rivers have been the traditional source of life for all of man's history. Use the power of the sun to keep you alive.
Am I willing to hook up with other survivors? Absolutely. My BOL can support quite a few people.
Is my plan based on a book/movie/blog/scientist other survivors may have heard of? No

I have a crazy idea for a magic school bus of death. Message me for details!
