“”they” would have a list of potential holdouts (possible preppers). “
If that scares you from taking any action that benefits you then you had better sit down before reading any further.
“They” have “fusion centers”, data centers, that will target you as the type that could have radios, food, preps, firearms, LONG before you actually buy them. Your geographic location, your income, your phone calling habits, your credit card purchases, your age, your associations such including family, your home State, the foods you buy at the grocery store, the type of clothing and stores you buy them from, the car your drive, its age, type, make and model, your vehicle maintenance habits, your financial investments, account balances, your Internet usage and posting comments, etc., etc., etc., all contribute far more to whom they might target far more than simply owning a radio. Millions of GMRS radios have been sold, but that isn’t nearly the information used to determine your personality profile compared to the list I just gave you, plus about 1,000 other data points...your dog’s name and type, if you own cats, property value, property location, friends, yes, your friends and associations, miles driven to work, political registration, voting participation rate, magazine subscriptions, organizational memberships such as the NRA, gun ranges, FCC, FAA, Boy Scouts, SFA, AARP, etc., jewelry purchases, educational and training background, occupation, church membership, known skills derived by purchase history and memberships and subscriptions, etc.
“They” know more about you and what you are going to do tomorrow before you know it.
So, my advice, stand proud and be counted, scream “HELL, YES! I HAVE GUNS AND RADIOS AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS! I HOPE THAT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF YOU IDIOTS!!! BRING IT ON!!!”
Should I off the catz? I've always been a little suspicious of them.

But I have now learned that there is also a segment of the prepper population that not only don't care, but have some type of emotional allergic response to the topic and attack anyone who mentions it.
Except of course, when your advice is not to ...

Terrible advice. In Colorado if you have a gun, shut up. The cop doesn’t care unless you are handling one or pointing it at him. Simply let him do his job and stop trying to be a self-centered idiot bragging that you have a CCW or that you are “a responsible citizen exercising my right to carry in a vehicle”. He doesn’t care. Just don’t go making an issue about it."
Damn, you got a way with words that brings a tear to the eye!
MOLON LABE!
If they're using the same data as those online people search sites, then I'm safe.
