I’m uncertain how it will pan out in the USA.....I believe the people know how to sustain this nation if it meant we would not be a part of the global community. The problem, as you say are those who are accustomed to handouts generational at that. These will become violent.....so even if people stock up they’ll think nothing of robbing your home. So I see the cities will be in a mess no mater how much you put aside....and then they’ll be coming to the rural areas after that...
Todays news stated a robbery of expensive watches from a Jewelry store near Phila. Took them 45 SECONDS!!! From the time they entered til they exited the store...armed only with a hammer..and a bag to make the heist with.
Retail stores instruct the employees to let thiefs take the merchandise...and guess what...the crooks well know that....so we’re seeing more thefts simply because companies are teaching their employees to not resist....thus the criminals have nothing to fear.
It does look like more and more homeowners are armed and are shooting though.
I went to a new barbershop for my haircut yesterday. Both had pistols laying there amongst their cutting tools. I complimented them both and revealed that I had my 380 in my pocket if needed. LOL.
