If you are correct, there a lot of conservatives who have been buying guns and ammo for some time and can put up one heck of a fight.

Baloney. Outline the tactical aspect of exactly how that would work.

Suppose the Wisconsin miscreants as a perfect example. Crazy stupid mob, even just 50 or so morons. They converge on a little old vet guy holding a Gadsden flag in his yard. He has this "heck of a fight" you're talking about. 6 dead, he gets arrested.

Trial goes on of the "Tea Party Killer."

Now your turn. Tell me how all these isolated conservatives who've got hundreds of rounds stored up march on the crowds and restore order.

That's not how. It's the willingness to prosecute the old vet that will soon fail. It will fail for the lack of enthusiasm on the part of low-level LEOs. It's they who undergo the risk of not making it home to their families after a SWAT raid on the house of some armed 2A hot-head goes wrong. Commie rioters are much safer to deal with.

It will be easy for the Obamanauts to issue martial-law orders. It's getting them followed that'll be a b@#$%.

"The smart money is to keep from getting cornered at Little Big Horn"

LOL

Sounds like the French Army, going into battle with their hands up, waving white flags.

Sorry; you can run but you can't hide.

This is how it works if we stick together:

THE BATTLE OF ATHENS, TENNESSEE

If you've taken a CCW class of any kind, you'd realize that in the middle of a mob scene is the last damn place to consider pulling a gun. The smart money is to keep from getting cornered at Little Big Horn.

True, but the rabble in New York are not the Souix. Look at Kent State. They were all throwing bricks and burning buildings. The rioters had the National Guard guys cornered and outnumbered 20 to 1. Then four guys heads explode and suddenly the mall gets real empty. There were no more riots after Kent State. Oh there were protests, sit ins, strikes and a lot of bad music. But nobody threw a brick at the National Guard again. It turns out getting shot just isn't that much fun.

It takes a butt load of courage to stand under fire, or charge the guns. I just don't see that kind of commitment from the Occupy New York crowd. They may be brutal, but not brave. They will kill the unarmed, but will run like heck once lead starts flying.

You're talking about a small mob riot action. Those usually, if not always start in their own ghettoes or around government buildings. I can't remember in my lifetime any large scale riot (I've experienced 2 in Los Angeles) expanding out of the "gimme" areas. And I also remember a few brave Koreans patrolling the roofs of their stores with rifles aimed below to protect their stores right in the middle of it. Guess whose stores weren't ransacked of burned. It certainly wasn't those who put signs saying, "Owned By a Black".

I think the guys point was that if things get big enough and nasty enough for the "gimmes" to look for fresh meat, they'll have trouble finding it outside of their trashed realm. Remember Katrina? A few isolated gun shots heard, but overall, no one outside the ghetto wards or even in the French Quarter encountered mob takeover.

I know in my own neighborhood, we have a system in place for extended emergencies, and that includes armed self-defense. I suspect nowadays they are everywhere.

But you're right, don't be the only guy to pull a weapon in the middle of a crazed mob, unless you have a fully auto with extra mags.
