There is so much talk about military type rifles on the NET in a SHTF scenario that it has me wondering? Do folks think they are going to go toe-to-toe with trained military squads or police type forces or well armed gangs, if say we are invaded by enemy forces or worse? Perhaps, if one plans to stay in overcrowded population centers where that kind of combat will be routine as was/is in Baghdad, or as it was in Beirut, then I could perhaps see the need for such extreme measures.
But, wouldn’t a person be foolish to expose themselves and their family to such danger? Why instead, wouldn’t it be wiser to evacuate these dangerous places in favor of less lethal circumstances? Why shouldn’t one choose to separate themselves and their families for more remote yet secure locations?
Where, instead of a battle rifle a hunting rifle would be more appropriate? Why aren’t these kinds of scenarios and equipment discussed? Anyone who thinks they will be able to survive in the cities in a SHTF scenario is just kidding themselves, IMHO.
There are places around here where it is possible to go and not see another person for days or even weeks at a time. I’ve given it a lot of thought and know just where I’d go in a worst case scenario. I’ll be damned if I’m going to expose my family to danger when I can avoid it or at least deal with it on my terms in country that I know like the back of my own hand. What are your thoughts?
