I just laugh now. I sit on my porch on a knob on 32 acres, looking at the field and the trees, and wonder when the cities are gonna melt down.
And some of those city folk are gonna survive the long trek all the way to my house and I’m a gonna have to use this Mossberg on my lap for something other than foxes.
Need any field hands? Will work/fight/defend for food and shelter (laughing, to keep from crying).
It wont be those city folk you see first. Once chaos turns into marshall law (or it’s equivalent emergency powers whereby constitutional law is suspended), the hording of property and natural resources that can be used for the sake of urban refugees will be borrowed, and those local law enforcement who don’t cooperation with the efforts to administer redistribution of resources will be the first to go. Then either the cooperative locals or the regional resource agents will be the ones who visit, and resistance of the type you speak will be exactly what they are expecting.
Just sayin
Mr. Mercat and I are moving to our little farm in a few weeks. In fact we are moving stuff out there now and getting ready to sell our 5 bedroom/3 bath home in the suburbs. Our new house is about half that size. Feels good. Excuse to get rid of lots of stuff.
