I read alot of the SHTF threads here, and took a good look at my house, yard and environment. And, while I never considered it when I bought the place, I have an EXTREMELY defensible property.
For example, I have a 360 degree field of fire for between 100 and 300 yards in all directions. 6 foot stockage fence, about 1/2 acre, around the rear perimeter(and accessible from walk out basement), which I can send the dogs into(and you DON'T wanna mess with these dogs, in their territory). Windows on all sides of house, both 1st and 2nd floors, and it sits atop a hill. Solid stone construction for foundation(original part of house built in 1902).
In short, if myself and both my sons were here, with the guns that I own, , we could probably hold off a LARGE number of "attackers", assuming they don't have mortars or RPGs. But, even a well-armed "mob" would have serious problem trying to get in, or even near us.
Like I said, I never really thought about it when I bought the place. Have any of you considered these things when you bought/rented your current property?
