What’s in your home emergency kit?

[ADK Native]

The government is under NO obligation to protect you and when civilization breaks down like during riots over some criminal shoot by the police.  The politicians make the military and police let the criminals do pretty much whatever the criminals want to do. 

Our government gives almost complete advice on being prepared for an emergency.  Seems they ALL forget about having a firearm in the house for self-defense which we hope is still legal.  Make me wonder what is in the White House and the governor's mansion home emergency kit!

And bourbon!  If things get really bad, I can drink it warm or cold.
