To: Lonesome in Massachussets
I was living in Queens during the 1977 black out and the Lebanese who owned the local grocery store came out with lawn chairs and long guns, cassette tapes and iced tea. The men of the tribe spent the night sipping iced tea, listening to mid-Eastern music and no one touched a loaf of bread in their store. While they were successful this time, I would deduct points for their deliberate loss of situational awareness by playing music of any kind. A very poor tactical choice.

Defenders should keep their camp quiet in order to better hear the groups of looters approaching... You are missing the PSYOPS value of advertising your position--you are so obviously certain anyone causing trouble at your location will get their butt handed to them, you are not bothering to be quiet. With a watch with long guns present on the doorstep (and maybe many more), it becomes an area to avoid if you don't 'belong' there.
