I understand what you are saying. You do what you can with the situation you are handed.
We live about 35 miles outside a major city. Our kid lives in that city. She thinks I am a tin foil hatter, but she owns a couple of hand guns and a shotgun. And she is *highly* trained in the use of them. I gave her 50 rounds of 00 buckshot because I know she doesn’t keep a lot of ammo around.
I worry that she can get out in the event of a bad scenario. OTOH, I figure with her training and weapons, she’s as capable as any to get here.
So much depends on how fast it happens, if it does. We are heading into completely uncharted territory.
can she walk out? - I assume the roads will become self jamming parking lots
