You got a problem. Thought the old rule of thumb was beyond a tank of gas from any large city. Hopefully not too many gibsmedats in the city.
Maybe impossible in the northeast, possible in the midwest and west.
We will all have a problem. There are plenty of gibsmedats in L-Ville, as in *every* city. However, each different population density area will have it’s own drawbacks.
I will say that this state (excepting liberal L-Ville & Lexington) is a gun culture state and well armed.
Example:
An FBI report on the number of gun purchase background checks, January 1 through September 30, shows that Kentucky performed more than twice as many background checks in the first nine months of the year as California and Texas combined.
According to the FBI, Kentucky performed 2,337,494 background checks by the end of September, California performed 1,164,806, and Texas did 1,059,166. Even if you combine the background checks performed in California and Texas—a combined figure of 2,223,972—Kentucky beats that total by 113,522 background checks. This is quite a feat, considering the fact that Kentucky is much smaller geographically and population-wise than California or Texas, let alone compared to the two states combined.
Read that again. TWICE AS MANY AS BOTH TX AND CA COMBINED.
All of this is grist for the mill. We prepare as best we can and wait for the possible tsunami of evil. It is what it is. I am not young, but am in good shape. I can only promise that I will take as many of those worthless fookers with me as I can.
I lived in Palm Beach County the year after Hurricane Wilma. Wilma took out the power through the most populated part of the county. It also destroyed the cable and telephone lines. If your local gas station had gasoline, power, and a computer hook-up, you could buy gas after you waited on line for two or three hours. My boss thought this was hilarious because he quickly learned that if he drove 20 miles north of West Palm Beach City, he could buy all the gas he wanted in Jupiter in northern Palm Beach County.
The overwhelming majority never once listened to the radio to figure out that they could drive for half an hour and buy whatever they wanted. They sat on their hands and waited for someone to fix it for them.
IMO, 35 miles is far enough that it won’t even occur to most of the city people to go there.
