You’re right, but if SHTF doesn’t happen I still have to answer to my wife on why the pocket book is empty, and that can be just as scary as the coming civil war.As for as price, when TSHTF , Any money in the bank is worthless, so that's one way to justify the expense, I too have been thinking of getting one , also want a thermal rife scope ,looks like 3k is the price of a decent one,already have 2 digital NV scopes and for short range 150yrd they're great ,
Thank you for your insight.
