QM....I don't understand your statement..I lived for decades without either locks or firearms...In a different social setting I am sure that I would again...How does that prevent me from helping others in times of need? When I have had my own personal emergencies others extended their helping hands to me...How could I do less?
Please explain.

Perhaps I misunderstand what you are saying. I interpreted your post to mean that you would find it impossible to reconcile your faith with the act of turning anyone away, even under the most dire and dangerous of circumstances. If that is correct, you are saying that even those who refused/failed to prepare are entitled to what you have set aside for the survival of your family. You would risk your own safety and "survivability" if someone came to your door and needed help. While that may be a laudable moral attribute, I just wondered why you would find it desirable or necessary to lock your doors and protect yourself in the meantime. After all, you will open your doors and let anyone have your "stuff" anyway, so why take on the burden of prepping and protecting if you don't believe your first responsibility is protecting yourself and family. What am I missing?
