Great question ‘bender and it might get a few thinking more along the lines of not what if, but when. I’m retired and live high up in the mountains, on the side of a large one to be exact, in an area known by preppers as the ‘American Redoubt’. Very conservative area with the nearest town, (think Northern Exposure’s Cicely, pop. of 650 or so), about 4 miles down. Since we are all set for the most part the only thing I have noticed changing a bit here is how much faster certain food items are leaving the grocery store shelves between stock days. Most have already ‘hardened’ homes to a point, layed in basic prepper items, are very firearm and shooting/hunting savy etc. etc. but it is the when, not if, mindset we have had here that will be the benefit when it does happen because that thinking is what got most of us to the preparedness level we are at now in the first place. I can’t imagine what it will be like to be stuck in a larger city type area when all hell breaks out, it is not gonna be fun.

MindBender26: “Were in a great area, 3/4 mile from a very bad area.”
That's useful information. So there appears to be a credible threat relatively near your home. Consider moving. If you can't move, make your house a poorer target. From what you've written, you've already done that--dogs, exterior lighting, a clear field of vision, alarms, evacuation plans, drills, fire extinguishers, medical kits, weapons, locks, strong doors/windows, etc. Don't underestimate the value of practicing in advance for the most probable threats, because you want your response to be second nature.

Have 3 dry chemical, and when we built house, installed hise bibs in each bathroom, kitchen and garage. Have 100 feet of good 7/8 hose on each and 70 PSI at taps. There is nothing like mega-gallons of water in a fire,
What, no structure turn out gear or air pack? Are you new?
(How are you going to survive the heat or BREATHE!?, let alone see?)
Kudos for planing ahead. Series lee. ;)

Any FReeper changing their personal/home DEFCON level due to UK (and US) riot/pre-riot situations? Absolutely. Just had a talk with my 76-year old dad about this.
And don't think for a moment that this sort of crap couldn't happen in America.
The only difference is that the duration would be much shorter, inasmuch as most thugs would lose their taste for looting and mayhem once a sufficient number of them had been shot dead...

I don’t even lock my doors. As my grandmother used to say, “They’ve got to bring it in before they can take it out.”

Have been prepping for a very long time. Currently working on OpSec. Something to look at are
Motion D-Cell LED and an alternative
Alarm System. Use you imagination. Also look into the domestic
Brite Strike alarm. These can be modified for trip wire. These are just a few items to help you to sleep at night. You are not paranoid. Things are going to get much worse before they get better. I hope these items help.

I've heard that "if I fail to plan I plan to fail." Beyond having two serious guard dogs (also great for daily exercise and laughter; they're so energetic and funny, in addition to fierce), I am prepared to defend myself and have enough food, propane & back-packing fuel, water & some other supplies stored in case it gets all UK in my 'hood (and it's no picnic as-is).
I have faith God will give me strength to handle whatever comes my way; and wisdom to discern who to help and who to avoid, if/when things go hot.
The only thing I'd really like to connect with is a good man. I think two are better than one, in so many ways.

Haha, yeah, our police have weapons with real bullets. Unfortunately they work for politically correct utopians and they’re getting laid off due to budget cuts...

Here is one for you. They are looking for this suspect.

I’ve become very award of that - how many firearms can I use at once, vs. how many people do I trust 100% and have plans to survive with if our social decay goes UK.

Large magazines and something that will shoot reliably when pulling that trigger as fast as you can.

Remember a few years ago when they had those bad guys around here that were following folks home from the shooting ranges and then ROBBING THEM when they got home? I never did hear if they caught those guys.

Are bad times probable, no, but are they possible, yes.
Never hurts to be prepared.
I have a Golden Retriever - if the bad guys bring a ball, I’m sunk.

Due to riots, no. However, my zombie alert posture is now at DefCon 2.
