Since the day Hamas attacked Israel, social media has been swimming with posts from "Tactical Tom" types warning of major attacks in the U.S.

"IT'S COMMING!"
"ARE YOU READY?"
"LOCK-N-LOAD!"
"GET OUT OF THE CITIES!"
"STAY IN YOUR HOMES THIS FRIDAY!"

If I took all that seriously, I'd have to dress like this clown every time I left my house. So, let's all calm down.

It is certainly possible that the attack on Israel will be followed up by terrorist attacks in the U.S. This is always a possibility, and Biden's open borders have increased the danger exponentially. That much is true. What's to be done about it?

If you have home defense guns, ammunition, and you are prepared for whatever common natural disasters occur in your area, you are pretty much prepared. If you don't have those things in place, now would be a good time to correct that.

If you already carry a gun, continue doing so. If you don't carry and you can legally do so where you live, you might want to start.

Then stay informed, be aware of your surroundings, and try not to put yourself in unnecessary danger. Easy peasy.

For my part, I intend to go about my life as I normally do. I'll leave the "Tactical Tom" outfit for somebody else.
