Now is a PDK really necessary in an EDC or a BOB? What I'm getting at is, is it necessary over a more readily available handgun? I guess I'm trying to understand the situation that would require me to need the PDK.. It's not like I'm some VIP expecting to be assassinated or kidnapped. IMHO, in a bug out scenario, I need something that will allow me to redirect any criminals from me to other unarmed victims/targets so that I can get back to the "fort/armory". Even then, is it necessary as a tool to get something like that? Please note that I am not expecting zombies or aliens to be attacking soon.. Nor do I expect to be involved in a fire fight with the military.. Cause whatever I have, they have more of and better of... I guess what I'm saying is that I have enough ammo and firearms to defend myself against "reasonable" looting and attacks (offer enough resistance so they move to the next home)... Do you really need more? If I were preparing for TEOTWAWKI, I'd dream of just getting a pair of belt fed MGs and go at it until I run out of ammo.. But alas, it is illegal for most US citizens... Just wondering... <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
