I’ll tell you what, chief ... Just for the sake of the argument, come attack my home - up close and personal.

Yeah, Cletus, I’m sure you’re a real Billy bad a$$. All keyboard warriors are. I would NEVER attack someone’s home unless it was an absolute last resort. And if it did come to that, they would not know I was there and it certainly wouldn’t be face to face. It may not even be at the home of that person.

But enough of that.

I and two other families do have a plan. We’ve been talking about it among ourselves longer than Trump has been POTUS. We are not going to go out and engage the enemy. Of the three of us, we have selected the home that is the largest and easiest we believe can be the most secured. The selected home is where we will live if it comes to that. We have enough weapons and hopefully enough factory ammo. We have a Dillion XL650 press with over 15K primers, several lbs of Winchester powder with 1000’s of once fired cases ready to go.

Our plan, as of today, is to hold on to the selected home as best we can and hope for the best. Two of us will have vacated homes and are fully aware they could be lost.

Our numero uno goal is to protect our families and try to survive till law and order are restored.

Food supply...we do need more.

WTH makes you think I am any less prepared than you, on all counts?

First off, my home is a buried concrete fortress, on 12 acres of open range in SW Nebraska, with our own water supply, located on a plateau at 3000’ elevation, surrounded by canyons, having a 25 mile view in all directions, with only one access road. We have:

Multiple firearms - pistols, revolvers, carbine rifles, bolt-action rifles, and pump shotguns.

Well over 10,000 rounds of properly stored ammo, for each weapon. I’ve been stocking ammo for years, at 1000 rounds per purchase.

I have access to cattle, deer, pheasant, wild turkey, and other game.

Stored potable water.

Preserved, or freeze-dried canned food stocks, sufficient for 2 years.

Multiple fuel supplies.

Back-up sources of heat and electrical generation.

An independent fresh water supply.

Medical and surgical supplies (excepting antibiotics, which have very limited shelf life).

NBC / Hazmat gear.

Fire fighting gear.

Full set of mechanics tools.

A bug out plan, with contingencies.

Hidden supplies, buried in several locations along multiple routes.

Our nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away; however the majority of folk living in this area are politically like-minded and well-armed. Most are well practiced in tracking, hunting and preparing game, either by use of firearms or the bow.

Presently, I am planning a small machine shop, although I was an aircraft mechanic by trade.

Come summer, I’ll be erecting a 50’ observation tower.

I’m even considering grading a 1500’ gravel runway (I have acquaintances who are qualified pilots.)

Other than a crossbow and bolts, have I left anything out?
