Again as I mentioned ....

Why start a thread about it?

 

[kc ub'ing!]

not allow every random person who enters my car or my home the ultimate decision making power over my destiny

Me too and this is what I said, just in a different way.

There will be no looting. There is no break in the supply chain. There is no shortage in the supply chain.

There is no near nor long term expected problems with the supple chain. The only reason the stores are empty is because...

1. Scared people hoarding enough food to eat 10 years.

2. Schools are out forcing everyone home.

3. Many food venues are closed making people eat from home.

4. People eat more when bored or stressed. Right now alot of people are both.

5. As people are temporarily laid off, they are applying for food stamps. People on food stamps buy much more food than people paying cash.

Once again there will not be a food shortage nor looting. PERIOD

Its the Shortage of money !
Due to the Shortage of Jobs.

Yeah but there are a lot of stupid people. Stupid people do stupid things.

You're telling me there isnt the remote possibility idiot A panics and starts robbing houses 🧐

Guns are sold out and so many are bringing up "people might start robbing homes in a panic". A sign that this weighs heavy in the minds of some. Takes a few nutcases to panic and rob people because the expectation is there. 🤷‍♀

Think I just convinced myself the chance of it happening is higher then originally thought 🤔

All the kids are out of school.
Looking for adventure.

Breaking into your house is Adventure.

Why always being my antagonist lately?

I was correcting your misreading of my post. It would be unfair to leave you dazed and confused. I wanted to correct your error.

It may not happen. But considering I've seen fights over TP, I won't dismiss it.

It's the ones high on Meth or something else that could pose a danger, if they become desperate enough.

I am not. Asking why . I think we are jumping into it. Just being realistic. . Don't take it personally . Please .

Drug addicts are none affected the economy. Sex work is recession proof.

Are you ready if someone breaks into your house, with gun in hand, demanding your goods?

For those still driving, are you prepared for an increase in violence behind the wheel? Uber is a easy way for desperate people to find a victim.

People looting in the future is becoming a bigger concern brought up by friends and family. We aren't really seeing it now but as the situation gets worse we will.

If anarchy breaks out, and shit really hits the fan, I have made plans... 3 options for moving in with friends or family in rural areas. Do not want to be in urban area if that happens.

Till then, I don't speak of what I own. I don't give away where I live. I beware of overly friendly people.

Still Driving. I can handle threats in a car.

Me too and this is what I said, just in a different way.

To each his own. I'd rather be able to stop a group of thugs from breaking down my doors and raping my family, than worry about feeling "enslaved" by bad people by possessing a gun, in order to be able to react to them. Here's a hint though: Bad guys don't WANT you to possess a gun. So trying to imply that they are "controlling you" when you possess countermeasures is kind of silly. If they truly wanted to control you, they would want you to surrender any arms you have.

Other people no more control you when you possess a gun than when you lock your doors, build a fence around your property, keep your dog on a leash, wear a seatbelt, wear a facemask to prevent yourself from getting COVID-19, or buy a box of bandaids.

Your question is void. It was based on your misunderstanding.

I've learned that trying to explain something to you is pointless. There is some mix of of language barrier/generational/ cultural gap that makes it so we cannot properly understand each others viewpoints/words. So it's best if we keep it high level. Otherwise we'll continue to waste messages on a meaningless back and forth.

My friends up north, who live in rural areas, are already making preparations to secure their homes and getting more ammo.

Ha. Your friends up north have been doing that for years. I have boxes and boxes of ammo. Only need three or four bullets every deer season, so I have not had to buy any more for years... and I have plenty for my self-defense pistol.

They will probably start breaking store windows that are closed and looting them.

Here we had a riot really bad in Mke years ago on the north side where people started breaking windows and started a gas station on fire. That's what I fear.

I was a brand new news reporter in the summer of 1967, and covered the race riots in Milwaukee. There was a police command center at 4th and North, where I saw cops spray painting their white motorcycle helmets black because they were easy targets for snipers. I was shot at on Burleigh Street and think of that every time I pass that exit. People were looting stores, not to sell the items, but because they wanted to own the items. I watched a Wisconsin Army National Guard "sharpshooter" take four shots to put out a street light so the sniper could not see his targets as well.

My mom told me one of her coworkers was worried about her son in Milwaukee with the National Guard. "Well," she said, "your kid is down there with a rifle. My son is there with a camera."

There was a curfew but at night the nasties came out and fire-bombed businesses and looted. It wasn't as bad as Detroit, but it was pretty bad. July 29, 1967.

Not allowed in Canada... we are forced to trust our mafia, I mean police, to protect us.

Must be willing to Kill
Or at Least make them WISH THEY WERE DEAD !

Yeah< I would go for the knees. Painful, AND immobilizes.

The 1967 riots must've been incredibly frightening. Scary stuff you witnessed. Interesting stories to share with your kids and grandkids. The recent one here were scary to watch on TV, which was probably nothing compared to the 67' one.

My friends up north moved from GB, and they're not hunters so they didn't get guns and ammo til now; same with my friend in FDL county by the prison.

I grew up with hunting and guns in the house. My father was actually a cowboy in Wyoming for a while, and kept a loaded Colt .45 in his bedroom closet.

That prison in Fond du Lac County is for women. Maybe this is sexist, but I would not worry as much about them.

No, the prison is in Waupun in FDL county, and it's for males. It's not Taycheedah, the woman's prison in FDL, I'm talking about.

 

[Gilby]

No, the prison is in Waupun in FDL county It's not Taycheedah I'm talking about.

I don't think of Waupun in FDL County, but you are right. Most of the population lives in Dodge County. I am not sure if the prison is in one or the other, or both. But yeah, those are folks you don't want set free among us.

Yes parts of it are in Dodge Co and parts of it are in FDL, as is the Horicon Marsh.

My friend lives a few blocks from the prison. And that's where the more serious Mke criminals end up (murderers, etc). And the less serious criminals (drug offenders) end up at Franklin Correctional in Mke Co. The Franklin one is like Club Med compared to the Waupun one.
