This is why I moved to central, rural KY. No cities near us. They will have to forrage their way through 80 miles of people like me to get to me. It will significantly cull the herd.

There was a mini-series about nuclear war about 20 years ago that had a scene that made a lasting impression on me. The family had survived the attack and had a large beef ranch in the middle of nowhere and horses to get around. They were doing pretty well. Then dad rode up on a small family at the edge of his property bbqing one of his cattle. He really wasn’t going to chastise them or anything, knowing what the score was, but as he rode up and started to ask them where they were from, the head of that family pulled up a rifle and shot him off his horse, dead.

If SHTF really happened, you’d want to get most of your lessons about how to deal with strangers from that old movie, Road Warrior, and hope you have more ammo and are a better shot than the rest of them.

But I don’t think that is the way it would go down. In small countries like Zimbabwe, maybe. Our government is too big. It will be more like how the bible describes it, IMO. The government will be supreme, rather than non-existent.

So what really happened in Sarajevo is the same as a ‘Road Warrior’ movie? How do you figure that?

This is what I fear the most — fighting off the government “representatives” that are sure to be out, harassing the self reliant and rounding up the desperate stragglers so they can take them to their camps.

The movie you mentioned was “The Day After”.

I was in high school when it came out, and remember alot of parental debate on whether it was “too heavy” for us kiddies to watch.

By today’s standards, it seems pretty tame.

Our government is too big.

Hardly large enough to begin to contain 350 million citizens with over 100 million firearms.

Logistics. Maybe the government can contain some cities for a little while. They certainly don't have enough people to go door-to-door over the entire armed nation.

Really?

You really believe that the majority of all the DMV clerks, all of the government office workers who spend their 'work days' hiding, online, or shopping are going to strap up, fall into platoon formations like a Sergei Eisenstat Stalinist movie?
