A “NPP” is a subtle but major step up from a purely passive “neighborhood watch.” But it still sounds (at first) ilke a nice, soft, “non-offensive” plan.
A “watch” implies that you are only going to report suspected criminal activity to the police.
When a NPP will be critical is when the police are nowhere to be found, and you are on your own. The “protection” will be done by the neighbors themselves.
When the SHTF, a NPP will in fact be a neighborhood militia. During normal civility (now) you just can’t walk around your neighborhood—yet!—recruiting for the neighborhood militia.
But that’s what the NPP really is, IMO.
I will be ordering some. I hope to get a case of the original printing, as now that your review is going viral in the conservative community, I suspect they will be doing another printing very soon.
It is a problem I have been thinking about for years, as I have assumed that neighborhood/local militias would form nearly spontaneously in times of a serious breakdown of order.
I much appreciate your review and have posted it on some other sites.
