I hear what you're saying. But I figure the Sarajevo scenario is pretty unlikely where I am. They're going to have bigger problems in a major metro area to my east to deal with. That WILL be sniper ally.

As far as some out of the area militia rolling in, well we've got some contingency plans for those folks. They'll find easier pickings someplace else.

We also don't have a whole lot of 'ethnic' to 'cleanse' around here. And anybody ordering anyone to shoot a neighbor is going to find themselves on their back with a couple of smoking holes in their chest wondering what the hell just happened.

The Mrs. and I have been working on our little group for almost a decade now. I'm not dumb enough to imagine it's perfect, but it'll hold for a while. Long enough for us to get our own private Plan B into operation.

Plan B is mostly getting the hell out of Dodge. LOL So in the last 10 years or so we've put together a little cadre of 10 families all of whom have put back what we call the "Basic Load". That list is a bit long to go into here. Maybe I'll post it someday.

It seems like a lot but it's really not too difficult to put together over the span of a couple of years.

The result is that we can put 20 people on the street all with a common set of weapons, ammo, aid kits, food, fuel, comm gear, etc to last us a couple of months without too much trouble.

We're also fortunate in that we all live on the high ground overlooking the major four lanes going through the area. When we inspected our roofs we spent a little extra time glassing things out, marking routes and points on maps, that sort of thing.

If we really have to deal with Mutant Zombie Bikers we'll make 'em pay for every yard, believe me.

Like I said, it ain't perfect but it's a damn good start and we work on it.

Claires got some good advice here. Other Freepers of like mind would do well to heed it.

Best to you my friend.
