Yes in all likehood its just talk, but during SHTF will you put you and your family a risk on the chance it is just talk?

I usually counter with "Fine, you can have all the jars of food that didn't process correctly." That tends to shut them up real quick!

I think you’re missing the point.
In a SHTF situation, “they” counter your clever riposte with:
“I wasn’t asking. I’ll take all you’ve got, and leave you your life.”
