Any well-zeroed deer rifle can take out a man-sized target at 300 yards.
What if neighborhood defense teams were made up of hunters/snipers plus their sons wielding slingshots & launching cherry bombs at the advancing looters? As the M-80’s go off, snipers pick off their targets, their gunfire confused with the fireworks.
But...wait just a second....suppressors are now legal in most states! Looters might just start falling dead with no one knowing why.
“There will be a rifle behind every blade of grass”
Also, make it clear that looters seen carrying guns will be shot first.
Neighborhood teams are already established. It’s called a good neighbor. This is OUR hood....GO burn down your own hood....we do not care. Come here and we have the Castle Doctrine and we are not afraid to protect ourselves.
