"...If...you...advise against “lone wolf” resistance nothing will get corrected...."

All the more reason to make friends. I'm currently feeling out my neighbors for their interest. Some are granola-eating, sandal-wearing, tree-hugging hippies who are of no use to society, but others have arsenals, and those are the ones I invite over for BBQs and beer.

Then, I let the conversation take its' course and wait for the opportune time to say the magic word "militia".

Talk about overkill! Lots of good ideas, though. However, I don’t recommend his choice of caching location (on land you don’t control)! Dumb.

You and your client might be interested in this. Even The Travel Channel is talking about the risk of kidnapping overseas. New show there:

My Holiday Hostage Hell
http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/My_Holiday_Hostage_Hell

More than ever, people are traveling abroad looking for the ultimate holiday adventure. But some travelers are putting themselves in danger. Western travelers are seen as easy prey for ruthless criminal gangs. Kidnapping is on the increase; 10 people are taken hostage somewhere in the world every hour. These are the real-life stories of people held hostage under the most extreme circumstances, facing torture, extortion and threats of murder.

"...I’ve one gargantuan and morbidly obese neighbor ... says “I don’t worry about that stuff. I know where all the food is. When the times comes I’ll just take it..."

The arrogance of liberals on display. People like him get shot after hurricanes. Legally.

I would also expect the internet (civilain access), GPS and a few other technical assisting devices to not be available for use in certain senarios...

So pick your “spots” wisely...And keep the info to yourself...

Deciding who you would tell in the event you are unable to retrieve said device, is kinda tricky...I’ll leave that to each individual how to protect that information and how to reveal that to someone else if that situation occurs...

I wish I could afford to hoard ammo. Have you seen the prices of ammo lately?? I try to pick up a little here and there but if there’s ever a big gun fight. I lose.

Hey everyone, quit looking for free NRA memberships. Having extra members is fine and all that, but what they really need is your money! Pay for your membership like the rest of us do, and donate more if you can.

The CZ-52 looks like a cool weapon. I’m wondering about how I could justify the purchase, though, in high country: the land of high winds, extreme ranges and monster predators. Even from little ol’ SA revolvers, we tend to launch gigantic hunks of flat nosed lead. As for the smaller critters that make holes in the ground (leg-breakers for horses),...at least 300 Win Mag, of course. ;-)

Travis - thanks for the great info. I printed it out and will take it with me to a gun show this weekend. Hopefully I’ll find this model to check out. - OB1

Thanks for the reply. Done!

Tip’s dead...

Lemme see if I can shed a tear...

Nope...No joy on squeezing one of those out...

"I wish I could afford to hoard ammo. Have you seen the prices of ammo lately?? I try to pick up a little here and there but if there’s ever a big gun fight. I lose."

...not if you're an Ozark girl. ;-) Remember tactfulness (avoid feuds), tactics and accuracy. And continue good neighborliness with your better neighbors without being too personal.

Soooo...how's things with you'uns back home? Are there a lot more people there over the past few decades? ;-) That area has probably really changed a lot.

good way to open a can of SPAM, right?
