Aw, don't be so hard on us. We're kinda fun, once you really get to know us. ;-)
All armed rednecks are not the same. Most are shirt-off-their-backs sorts, regular church attendance tends to foster this. But, some have an outlaw mentality that goes back centuries, the root of bootlegging, NASCAR and clannish mountain feuding. Not all or even most of these would be a potential problem, just the ones who have progressed to the drug trade, a logical leap for them given their history. These will go feral on you due to a minor traffic incident, let alone TEOTWAWKI. They’re to be avoided.
Good point. Some are as mean as snakes and would welcome a `state of nature.’
In my “redneck” area we keep track of those types. An informal neighborhood watch.
