The chance of major banking failure is real. Not probable in my mind, but real.

If rioting takes place it will be in major urban areas. I simply don’t see anarchy in TX. Citizens help each other too much and they are armed.

We would pull together in hard times for the most part.

In scattered cities it could be real nasty. Chicago, Detroit, NY City, LA

Rioting? That could happen, it has happened before with less pretence.

I doubt very much that the rioting would move much beyond the inner city. MUY mobs aren’t disciplined or organized. They involve people whose average IQ is about 85 and who are heavily outnumbered.

So, these people are going to storm suburban subdivisions? No, a couple of riflemen could kill so many of them that they would be running away in disorder. In Texas, our subdivisions have lots of riflemen. With an outbreak of rioting, the MUY areas would be probably be effectively quarantined by LEOs, Guardsmen, and regular army soldiers.

Too many people are looking for an apocalypse. We are going to have hard times, but I think that food, water, medicine, and other items needed for comfortable living will be the main issue for those who don’t live in MUY central (or next door). I worry more about the government than the MUYs.

Still, it doesn’t hurt to be zeroing in your long guns and practicing with handguns.
