Weapons
Please note that no provisions for weapons are included in these lists. It will depend on the situation and the location you are in as to whether you wish to include a weapon.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: Most shelters will NOT permit weapons of any kind. In most cases, they present the possibility of causing more harm than the protection they were intended for.
If you live in the country, where the use of a weapon for hunting or protection is a must, then by all means include them as a necessary item. Just be sure you are trained in the care, use and handling of said weapon and they are not easily accessible to young children or those who are not trained to handle them.
The above advice is also applied to knives, mace, baseball bats, or martial arts items that are considered weapons. Think very hard as to how these items will be used and if it is absolutely necessary to include them.
As a cowboy's wife, I always had a rifle for hunting or the shooting of varmints. I was well trained in the use, handling and safety practices of firearms as part of my job as a deputy sheriff. If you think you will need one, I advise you to take courses at a reputable shooting range and seek an expert's advice.
