One of my unarmed neighbors knows I prep: water, food, guns, etc. He says to me, if the sh*t hits the fan, I’ll be over. I says, oh no you won’t. I’ll be over to take your stuff.
To his credit, he armed himself after our talk.
Just make sure that you and your family are better protected than your neighbor.
You can't change who is your neighbor,
but you might want to encourage him to learn how and when to "prepp".
It may have been a flippant comment, on the other hand, he may be envious of your wisdom.
The Scriptures are have numerous warnings about jealousy and envy.
Better to encourage a friend, than to develop a potential enemy !
