Is 72 hours enough time to get out of Dodge when the Obama Corps comes calling?

Under those circumstances, you would be best served to bow your head for a short prayer of strength and grab your rifle.

Once bammy's brown shirts get moving, the only answer is going to be lead and and lots of it.

One of the reasons to ramp the war in Afcrapistan is to keep the military occupied and out of country.

I agree that is how it is planned.

Street thugs taking on crusty old farmers and WWII, Korean, Viet Nam vets?

I have my doubts.

Remember it took 130,000 troops to suppress Iraq, a country the size of Texas ans with the population of Kalifornia.

And there were thousands of tons of unsecured munitions laying around. That includes mortars and missiles. The American public is unarmed by comparison.

It would depend. I dont think the National Guard would. Most USMC units wouldnt.
If Obama allows people from other countries to join, then that would be where the biggest problem would be. Or he could bring in NATO or UN troops to “secure” the Nuclear weapons or some other excuse.
UN and NATO would face the largest standing army, since there area lotsa of guns here, and people who are just looking for a reason to use them.

Orchard, gardens, goats, chickens, good neighbors, well,
diesel generators, lead in plenty. If this goes, nothing
would be safe. Remember the ALAMO!

“The only thing we don’t have at 668 is an able-bodied male. Fortunately we live nearly surrounded by badass war veterans”

Reminds me of the family next door to Clint Eastwood in “Gran Torino”. As a “badass” vet, he sure came through for them!

Yes!. But do not forget an IED is easy to make and can tie up a hundred troops for most of a day.

Fortunately, all of my ancestors possessed survivalist instincts or I would not be here. Furthermore, it is good that few others possess such survivalist instincts, thereby making it easier to cull those with week-kneed attitudes (mostly sniveling liberals seeking handouts) that make it easier for the rest of us who will never give up. Don’t be misled, there is nothing wrong with surviving, whatever it takes.

Nope. Not yet. But I was heading towards Best Buy this afternoon. Dick’s Sporting Goods is right next door.

I guess the question is, do you want to be on the highway with a million other people trying to leave the area? I prefer a safe haven in my own home.
