    I printed a page for my coworkers some year back. I think it was still during Obama's time.

    Yup. Heard about it years ago.
    It turns out that being ready for the Zombie apocalypse is similar to being ready for most major natural disasters, except for the number of weapons likely to be used.

    Yes, and they've found that the popularity of it made it a good choice for doing some public health education.

    They have lesson plans about emergency preparedness for teachers they disguise as "zombie apocalypse" material. If you call your emergency supplies a "bug out bag" and omit the guns, suddenly you have a great set of things to keep in your home for a flood or hurricane.

      So you leave your guns to be flooded in your home?

        The 2nd amendment types call that "lost in a boating accident".
