Not everybody can. If you happen to be in the later category, the next best thing is to make friends with your neighbors who are ants and shun those which are grasshoppers.
The political signs they put out during election time is a major clue in said identification. One advantage our side has is that we have more guns and know how to use them.
If you own guns & use them for hunting or range shooting, beware of your liberal neighbors. More dangerous than thieves IMO.
In some cities an anonymous snitchline can be used to call a SWAT raid down on your @zz.
“Uh, my neighbor has guns, he speaks out against President Obama, hates government, puts guns in his car & drives off, give me hard looks, I’m terrified for my safety and for my children!”
” the next best thing is to make friends with your neighbors who are ants and shun those which are grasshoppers.”
I agree that it is not only the next best thing but the only other thing you can do if you get stuck in the burbs. We are aligned with our next door neighbor and the neighbor next to him. So it will be the three of us trying to defend three places agains’t God knows what. We finally came to the conclusion that we would be overrun in days. So we are bugging out.
Bottom line if you do not have the resources to move you are just going to be living in misery when the SHTF.
