"Run and Gun" Fantasy or Practical?

Tactical, zombie prepping, end of the world etc. is all a huge marketing tool for all these companies....and I fell for it, lol. I have a good bit of firearms and prepping gear its actually a fun hobby. Like a poster above said, a lot of people like to have 500+ horse power on their STREET rides, is it needed? Of course not, but you like the "bada%%ness" of it.

P.S I am a Corporal for a Sheriffs department and from experience with being on SRT and SWAT that a lot of these "tactical" upgrades are very useful and appropriate as long as there quality products and not S&%$ you buy off of EBAY.
