READ EVERY WORD OF THIS AT LEAST TWICE. Matt Bracken has written a piece over at Western Rifle Shooters that matches exactly how I have envisaged the coming collapse and civil war.
His belief that it will all begin with the rejection of EBT Foodstamps cards is, I think, spot-on.
Next comes the urban riots.
Then comes the rioters spilling into the suburbs.
Then comes full-blown chaos when the rioters realize that the cops alone can't contain them.
Then come the beatings, rapes and murders. In the open. In broad daylight. At heavily trafficked intersections.
Then comes the militia, which is what I intend to do when shizz gets real. That has been my intention all along, since the fall of 2008 when I knew that collapse and civil war was an inevitability.
Echoing Bracken, if I am either sandbagged or on a bipod, 400 yards is an EASY kill. Men are a hell of a lot bigger than prairie dogs, which is why learning to snipe on prairie dogs is so wise, in addition to good, wholesome fun.
When I tell you people to be buying LONG GUNS and ammo, I'm not kidding. Assault rifles and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition is one of the best places to park wealth right now. And you better know how to use it, and you better sit your wife down, tell her to cut the sissy, whiny female bullshit and learn how to handle every weapon system in your arsenal. This isn't a damn game or a TV show. Many, many women are going to find themselves as the ONLY THING standing between a hip-hop rape mob and their children.
If you haven't watched my Vendee Genocide YouTube presentation, I clearly lay out the case that it is an absolute certainty that THERE WILL BE MASS RAPES when the inner city hip-hop contingent can no longer be contained by standard law enforcement. It isn't even debatable.
Read the essay above, and then GET READY. QUICKLY.
Can you eat those things ? Balance in all things in life .
In other words have good quality items besides reloading supplies like good quality boots/shoes, food/water, heat/light, warm clothes that are well made.
These will do more to aid your life than just having an ammo fort in the basement but the ammo fort will be useful as well.
Thanks Kart!
Good article by Anne, read TM’s piece and agree with the idea of the inner cities starting the riots and spreading to the ‘burbs. Those of us in the sticks, well, if we are prepared, self sustaining, and far enough away from the cities, it will take some time for the MUY mobs to reach us.

“Sad” may be the wrong word.
“Disappointing” might be better...
I agree on your star-trek quote. I work with many of the receipients of the EBT, it is the people who can’t see a metaphor when it is right in their face. I am scared of when this could happen because of where I work and what I do.
You don’t get it, do you. Amerika is already a socialist country and a police state, and has been since before LBJ’s administration.
Piecing things together, keep the old Holland strategy in mind: half the weight between the hands. Were not talking about a midpoint balance but rather the polar moment of inertia. You cant add weight to one end or the other to get the desired result. Properly applied youll have a gun that comes alive in your hands and feels and handles as if it were much lighter than it actually is.
Of great importance is ammo compatibility in your group. There is no need to add 20 gauge when everyone else has 12. Stick with 2 ¾ shells. Id pick a mix of Brenneke slugs and buckshot. Others may have different opinions. I note somebody is again producing beehive rounds. Go figure. Add a field barrel and a mixed case of 6 and 7 ½ shot field loads and youve also got a great small game piece.
Shotguns are pointed rather than aimed. Spend some time developing skill at whats called instinct or point shooting. Take a look around the web for an army field manual from the 60s about quick kill. It was developed from input of shot gunners, and pistolieros like Atkins. See the target, know where your shot will impact, no sights, point, and bang. Take the sights off an old Red Rider, watch the trajectory of the BB in flight, and pretty soon youll be knocking down aspirin tossed in the air.
Now to the original question. The most reliable fighting shotgun is also the first, the Winchester M97. The ejection port is cavernous and any shell tossed in pointing remotely in the right direction will feed. At one time, because of the exposed hammer, these were very desirable for SASS. Cant say if theyre still legal, but the M12 is basically the same gun with an internal hammer. Moving forward, the Remington 870 was actually the first firearm that could properly function with interchangeable/standardized parts without gunsmithing. The Mossberg 500 series is their answer, and any of these are not only reliable but robust designs that can take abuse and continue to work. A couple springs, pins, a spare extractor and ejector and your grandkids will be using it for zombie patrol years down the road.
Dang. My normally timid mother was almost to the point of taking one of my guns plus lessons, but my Dad’s negative attitude contributed toward changing her mind. I surely do wish she’d carry. Him as well.
I suspect his manhood was threatened?
Once she got started, I don’t think Mom would hesitate to pull the trigger until the threat ceased or the gun emptied. But I fear Dad would be too tender-hearted.
Don't let something like a screen name fool you. I was stationed in Europe for 14 years, and have traveled throughout the European and Asian continents. I have seen and worked in many of those "communist" countries. A couple have more freedoms than an average non-traveled American can imagine.
Yes, Amerika is a police state, and it's getting worse.
Ya- we have cattle, water and woods.
In addition to the other stuff.
