I think some electronic motion sensors, motion sensitive lighting and a couple of good dogs would go a long way towards making parasites like this move on to an easier target.

in a SHTF scenario... power will be out, unless you supply your own.

if you supply your own, and have lights on... you will just draw them to you.

one strategy would be to create a 'honey pot' to lure in the rabid thugs. a kill house with various traps set up with lights to give the impression of being a solid target. when the thugs attack the house, they'll be in for a surprise.

of course, you better make sure to finish the job... or they'll be hunting for you.

10 years ago... did you think we'd actually be considering such situations inside the US? another thing we can thank the left for

You can get these. They are very effective. Three D cells last about a year. Plan your locations and range them. You can also get some of these .

Excellent point. At family gatherings we have discussed at length prepping and scenarios for survival. A lot of people I run into are contemplating bad things down the road. With guns sales through the roof the past few years, millions of citizens are quite aware that we will likely enter a dark period. More and more people are preparing, and that is a good thing.
