Warsaw Ghetto. Darfur. Katrina. Some people call it the sky falling, SHTF, or in the words of the President, Catastrophe. I call it the worst case scenario. Since the November 4th mistake, The Dow is down 2000 points. Even more since the 2006 elections put the Socialists in charge of the economy. Reasonable people are now alarmed into buying guns for the first time in their life, with a president telling them catastrophe is possible.

I’ve decided to build a Castle with a moat full of crocks.

LMAO!

Here at “Fort Yorlik” we have 2 81mm Motars, three M2 .50cal machineguns one flamethrower and one very cross orange tabby cat named “Sarah”.
We also have maps to all the liberals houses in the area so my raiding parties can go to get resupplied.
Hey Obama, we’re ready for your punk ass goons.

[Prole]

Exactly.

The Remington 870 is my favorite shotgun:

And I love .357 revolvers:

What concerns me is mobs burning down your house with you in it... What kind of protection is there for that? Prayer is my guess.

Not a bad idea. Might also try finding some well-armed, like-minded neighbors and friends? It's what the founders had in mind when they used the word 'militia'. 'Militia' doesn't necessarily mean a bunch of people holed-up on a compound. When we started to disarm and lose touch with our neighbors, Big Brother started to fill the vacuum of power.

A long time ago I believed in that unloaded gun crap. I kept my unloaded shotgun on the top shelf of the bedroom closet in a lockable gun case. The ammo was in the basement in a locked container. Keys were in a dresser drawer. In 1983 I was stabbed while confronted by a burglar. The police chief asked if I had a gun, then he called me an idiot when I told him how it was locked away. He was 100% right. I’ll guarantee that scenario will never happen again.

If you're in Miami, I'm an NRA Certified Firearms Instructor with 20 years experience. Read my about page. There is a gunshow March 14th downtown & I may be taking another client for HIS home battery (more than one). I'm teaching his kids gun safety, his wife and he are getting my CCW permit class. Took him to the range just today (our 4th trip -- not required, he just likes my instruction) and he keeps gettin' better and better!

Sorry to hear about your incident.Thankfully you’re here to tell that story.In my house ,there is a weapon every three feet.The kids even have been trained to use pepper spray paintballs in some loaded cheapo paintball guns from Walmart that are locked and loaded in their closets.Its awesome and teaching them to be responsible with loaded firearms.They got a taste of one very mildly and respect the crap out of them.

“What concerns me is mobs burning down your house with you in it.. Short of building a fireproof bomb shelter and owning an assault weapon.. What kind of protection is there for that?”

Yes a bad and very scary development insomuch as arson is easy and fire is indiscriminate. That is why you don't work alone, have a clear field of fire and use a 30-06 with a good scope. Anyone even picking up a molotov or lighting a torch gets to take a dirt nap. Essentially making your area a “no go” for any mob or group of feral beasts

[ExSoldier]

A .22 rifle for hunting small game to eat is of little use if you live in South Beach...

Whoa, are you wanting to learn self defense from street crime level bad guys or are you looking for survival lessons such as gathering food and such after a catastrophe? I can do both, But I have to know.

[Shooter 2.5]

1. All guns are loaded.
2. Don’t let the muzzle cover anything you aren’t willing to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to fire.
4. Be sure of your target and what’s behind it.

I’m pretty sure you know these but I posted for the new shooters.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

My family I can count on.. My Eagles Up friends I can count on.. My FReeper friends I can count on.. But, right now.. my “oblivious to what is happening to our Country” neighbors.. not so much.

[AwesomePossum]

When angry mobs come for me (which happens about once a month), I just run up to the belltower, hit the lightning switch and release my monster into the village. You can also get this neat "Angry mob " playset and practice your strategy as well

Best LOL so far today......

Myself, I prefer my patented "Rattlesnake Flinger" for dispersing angry mobs.........

Shoot the one slightly left of center, wearing a vest and a tie, through the head; he looks like the ringleader.
Ask if the rest if this something they are willing to die for...
/joking

[Guns]

Well if I just returned their gardening tools and belt sanders like I promised when I borrowed them, it wouldnt have escalated like it did...

[wtc911]

A .22? Nope.

When I was a cop I knew a guy in Harlem (street name - Champ) who was hit seven times with slugs from a .22 revolver. He took the gun away from the guy who shot him and nearly beat him to death.

[21twelve]

Not sure why you added the joking - I think that would be a HUGE mob deterent. Probably just standing on your roof with a shotgun or rifle would do the trick. Any Asian shopkeepers from Rodney King era L.A. on this thread?
