I find it entertaining the types that only plan for the weapon aspect of the SHTF scenario. How many have ample food,water and adequate shelter as part of their plan?

Have you seen a parking lot lately????? How many full sized trucks are there out there, when you KNOW it's just their daily driver. MOST of those trucks never seen any kind of full sized load of anything. If people (MEN) carried personal defense tools, like they pick out cars, we'd see countless rifles slung across men's back as they cruise thru the Lowes.But unless your JOB is delivery of bulk materials,
DammitBoy, great pic, but if... or should I say when, you are ambushed in the shower how do you get into that bag quickly enough to defend yourself?
Which have since ended and have not re-erupted.What about the korean shop owners who protected their property during the LA/Rodney King riots? They used rifles and shotguns for self-defense and it had nothing to do with any border...
There are probably several scenarios you haven't forseen that have as much likelyhood of taking place as your border war scenario.
So, you think there will never be riots anywhere in the U.S. ever again? Seems to be an unrealistic opinion.
You confused me by answering the OPI'm going to stick my neck out and say quite possibly Charles Askins around 1939. He and other Border Patrolmen in El Paso were in fights several times a week, and they made a point of carrying either a rifle or shotgun in addition to whatever handgun they chose. Askins, who was a world-class revolver marksman, considered that only a fool would go into any fight that was foreseen without a long-gun. In private he often explained this in very blunt terms.

Some have. Some haven't. I don't know that I've seen any even indirect assessment of the matter. Do all/some/most guys who've seen combat feel a need to have a rifle nearby in civilian life? I don't know. Do all/some/most of the guys who DO feel that need act on that need? Again, I don't know -- but it sure doesn't seem like it.just find it interesting that many of those that do keep a rifle/shotgun available, have actually been in combat.
It certainly may mean something. It may mean several things.Does that mean something? I think so, but then I am prejudiced.
