That's a great way to get shot and die, possibly very painfully by bleeding to death while others trample on you. If I were expending bullets to shoot theives in a SHTF scenario, I wouldn't waste another bullet just so you could die more peacefully.

I will stay at the back of the pack. Once a homeowner runs out of bullets, I will assist in overwhelming him or her, and then we will BBQ them on their own grill while we break open their canned goods.

Those "roving people" killed someone by trampling them at a Walmart just for the after Thanksgiving sale last year. Imagine what they will do when it's for food ?

Who says this will be confined to cities? Once the city folk get done with their cities, they will expand out. You can only hide in your little towns so long before you are found.

The back of the pack will also be refused the booty. The first ones in, also with guns likely case, will claim them in your stead. But that was a very thought provoking internet tough guy scenario.

My, I LOVE these sorts of wild predictions, especially since those making them have been wrong 100% of the time. Looks like the future will be just fine, for those that do not think so it is your choice to remain under your bed or rock, as the case may be, until the end comes, enjoy.

My goodies are booby trapped. Break into those and it will be the last thing you break into.......that is if you didnt find the poisoned "decoy" stash first.

Maybe it's time to rethink your strategy?

I think you've got something twisted front to back there.......
Yes, the future will be just fine, because I am prepared IF the "end" comes (not until). I wont need to find a bed or rock to get under, only those, like yourself that didnt prepare will have to seek such useless shelter. Enjoy your bliss.

Even if the SHTF does not happen - inflation is - those that spend money now on food and supplies (toliet Paper) will save a bundle compared to what it will cost in the future. The Dollar Index show's a loss of 10 cent on the dollar for the last 6 months. Right now it's 75.6 cent to the dollar.

So with Fed still printing money how far will the dollar drop, by the way you keep working for the same amount of dollars but less purchasing power. Stock up now on food and save yourself a fortune in the near future.
