What will you do when the rioters arrive in YOUR neighborhood?

[bhajishah 4]

[What's the tin foil for?

It's for fashioning into a hat so the govt./space aliens can't monitor your thoughts. (Conspiracy theorists are sometimes called "tin-foil hatters.")

That is the question. How do you stave off an angry mob from destroying your home? There's really nothing you can do if the numbers are large. Best to get out of the home and try to leave unnoticed.

Usually once vaporize the first two or three of them, the mob moves on to another house.

Worked pretty well for Will Smith in that Legend movie.

What p!$$es me off about this thread is the general concensus is "I'd leave my home and all my possessions behind and let an angry mob of law-breaking people destroy my life." What kind of society have we become? Why would we ever allow people to break the law and break our stuff at the same time?

Have we come to the point where "their feelings" are more important than our Rights?

Rioting is just another outlet for pent up creativity of malcontent youth. Like graffiti and gangrape.

even more interesting, how did we wind up with so many that are unaware how a 12 gauge can break up riots?

Materialist imperialists.

It's one thing to protect your personal property but not if it means putting yours and your family's lives at risk doing so. What a sad event it would be to manage to keep people from destroying your home, but losing a child or your wife in the process. I'd rather get my family out to safety than risk losing them....they aren't replaceable.

Actually, if I'm reading charles et al correctly, I believe they're saying they can protect their property and their family. Wussies like you and I, upon seeing the rioters from our 2nd floor windows, will frantically start reading our insurance documents. Real men like charles - will go get their 12 gauge, whatever that is.

Very true. It always worked in the old westerns.

[natty bumppo 297]

nice trapdoor photo in your siggy. those work well too

Never noticed. Is that a 30-40 Krag? I used to have one, long time ago!

--Bullwinkle

The Trapdoor was popular in the 45-2.1 (45-70) calibre and predates the Krag.

The Krag-Jørgensen gained popularity in the 1892 timeframe.

Well, to go back to the premise of this thread - you're home, and they've entered your neighborhood. They've already fvcked up other neighborhoods around you and it appears yours is next.

I have a co-worker his father almost went through the race riots. His neighborhood was ethnic Italian. Most of the owners were 1st generation and almost all saw action in WWII. They all understood there were NO cops around at all. They went down the end of the street blocked it off and waited. about 40-50 men . ALL armed and they had one goal ... to protect their homes,wives and children. The riots stopped 2 blocks away. They believe to this day that a few of the rioters checked the group out and decided it was easier to burn out a different neighborhood. These men were different than the liberals we have today. They were just as willing to die to protect their own homes as die for their country. You walk through that neighborhood today and talk to the old timers.....They all have a few guns in their homes. They all understand one thing. There are times when the government will not be there to help you. It is just you and your neighbors.

Hmmm...well I don't have a gun and I don't own a home. I don't have many possessions to protect. Just gives me a good excuse to move to Canada!

Well not really... he did die in that movie after all.

And the badly rendered CGI madmen he was fighting weren't exactly frightened off by firepower.

As to the rest - I think most people would feel a greater sense of responsibility toward their family, than a house with stuff in it.

If there is massive civil unrest, its customary to get your family out of danger. Not sit in your house doggedly trying to defend petty personal posessions.
