Does the SHTF? Finish this...
It's Saturday afternoon on the ole homestead and you, your wife, a good friend and his wife are enjoying the game on your 52" HD Plasma TV. You've all had a few beers but aren't drunk - buzzed would describe your condition.
As you watch the game you're kicked back thinking "life is good". You bought your 40 acres last year (4 acres across and 10 deep) and put a pre-fab on it. And it's a nice one - too - just big enough for you and your wife with a spare bed room for the kids and grand kids to use when they come to visit. Your acreage is heavily tree covered with lots of brush between the trees. Your home sits in a 3/4 acre cleared grove in the middle of the property and it's far enough back off the main road that you can't hear the traffic. You especially like the 2 acre spring fed (and stocked) pond that's about 50 yards from your house just to the right of what you call your front yard.
Suddenly your reverie is broken as you become aware of your dog Sasha barking up a storm. He only does that when some one's coming down the gravel road to your house. Your wife tells you to go check on the dog so you get up with a groan and head for the front door. You're annoyed but become more so when you open it and see an old beatup pickup truck come to a screeching halt about 50 feet from your front door. Three "Bubbas" leap out of the bed of the truck and spread out. One of the "Bubbas" stays in the bed of the pickup. The driver stays put but the passenger hops out and you recognize him. You know this guy! You had a physical altercation with him over a year ago in Colorado. You won, he lost - badly. What's he doin here, you wonder? The Bubbas appear to be unarmed except the one that stayed in the bed of the pickup and you can see him holding a shotgun thru the rear window of the truck.
You are armed as always when at home. On your right hip is a Sig P220 with 7 in the mag and one in the chamber. Your gunsafe stands open and in it is:
12 ga Saiga Shotgun - 4 preloaded 5 round mags on the top shelf. Ea mag is loaded with #4 and 00 alternating in the mag.
12 ga Remington 870 - box of 2 3/4" #7 Shot shells on the top shelf
Win M94 .45LC 20" bbl lever gun. There's a box of 50 handloaded 300gr LRNFP's loaded to 1400FPS on the top shelf
2 CZ 75B's .one 40S&W and one 9mm hanging on the door with a couple of hundred rounds each on the top shelf and 4 mags of .40 and 2 mags of 9mm preloaded on the top shelf
M1 Garand with 10 preloaded clips on the top shelf
Saiga Rifle 7.62X39 with 4 preloaded 10 round mags on the top shelf
S&W 686 with Red Dot sight and a box of 158gr .357 mag cartridges on the top shelf
Taurus Raging Bull .44 Mag with a box of 240gr JSP on the top shelf
The Bubba you recognize stops behind the open passenger door and yells "come on outside you PRICK! we've got sumpin to settle and we're gonna do it here and now!" Sasha sensing what's happening goes after the talking Bubba's right ankle and the Bubba kicks the bejeezus out of Sasha who yelps in pain.
NOTES:
Your friend is far from being an anti but he's not a gun guy either. He's been to the range with you a few times just because he's your bud and is familiar with (though not particularly good with) all of your arms. Your wife likes shooting and is pretty good with the 9mm but has never fired any of your long guns. Your friend's wife isn't an anti but is afraid of guns.
You know for sure that if you call 911 it will take 5 to 10 minutes for the county police to get to your home.
The Bubbas tracked you across 5 states to find you.
