I will just sit back and wait. When the Gubment runs out of money the left will self destruct. Imagine Detroit, Philly etc when the checks do not come. Prepare yourself and family with food, water, and a good generator. I am thinking 1K rounds of ammo should be enough and will use a 300% safety factor just to make sure. Self defense only.
Think of what just happened on the East Coast on steroids. “My Obama phone can’t get on Facebook.” “The @#$% cable is down and I can’t watch the Beyonce PBS special salute to the president.” “We’re out of @#$% Ding Dongs.”
Your plan is a good one.
Just refuse to participate or support them,
and just watch it crash.
Their ideology is fiscally unsustainable.
I’ve heard several news stories on “the fiscal cliff” today, whereas I heard NOTHING on this from the MSM before yesterday.
IC Ken....You better plan your hide far from your home in a wilderness area or hard access area with a good surrounding view(free fire zone). When TSHTF, your house will be a death trap even if you have 10,000 rds of ammo. Secrecy and invisibility will be your hope for survival until you meet up with like-minded groups and form community defenses...
Even though a movie, Red Dawn is an example of survival, albeit without the offensive moves that the group made...That was Hollywoodish....
“...I am thinking 1K rounds of ammo should be enough ...”
You need a bit more than a thousand rounds, friend...
And it won’t only be the hordes from the city you need worry about; it’ll be FedZilla and thugs with badges that consider you a threat for having the temerity to believe you actually have rights and property worth defending.
Agree, but not about having a generator. Unless you have medicines that need to be refrigerated, they’re more of a liability, IMO.
They’re loud, draw attention, and require gasoline (or diesel or propane, but some form of fuel) in order to run, which means you have to stock up those fuel supplies as well.
I’ve got several cooking/camp stoves to replace my oven, and enough propane in tanks to heat via gas fireplace. We’re fortunate to be in a relatively temperate zone.
Depends on where you live and the extent to which the "takers" attempt to take under cover of government responses to "unrest." Do you have any idea how much ammo you could expend in a single attempt for even a small group to take your stuff? Then there may be the continuous "running skirmishes." 1K per weapon depending on type of firearm. If an AR type count on at least 5K with a cusion per weapon. Also, remember that if you engage in "spray and pray" your round count will go up exponentially. So buy some cheaper hardball like Blazer and start practicing. Or maybe get some good instruction that's reasonably priced like The Sig Academy. I'm going up there this summer.
