I'm guilty of the sarcastic " 'sheeple-we-don't-like/own-guns' neighbors' " comment, but it was an honest thought. I'm am getting old and slow and honestly don't know a single neighbor I could really trust. The one I think I could trust (thinks more like me) is disabled with arthritis and can't get around, and already has three adult children nearby to help him get to a cabin in the country. Other than him and his wife, I can't imagine any neighbors actually wanting to help me.itsme wrote:What do we do about our 'sheeple-we-don't-like/own-guns' neighbors who come running to us 'rednecks clinging to their guns' for protection when they have zero firepower and 911 gives 'em a busy signal?
UMMM simple
THEY ARE THE ROOT CAUSE of why the SHTF
Why would u acknowledge them ?
They are a already bitten casualty one heartbeat from full zomb, write em off, after you evaluate them for potential, medical experience, assets they have, and liablities they come with (spouses kids etc).
In most cases, c ya.
Tell them to go open a dailouge with the zombs, that they understand where they are coming from, only want to help them etc etc, that will give them something to do and keep them out of yer hair.
In my case, I think I would travel relatively light - one scoped 6.8 mm semi-auto and a few handguns with as much food and water as possible- and try to get to the country (less than 50 miles) in my 4X4 to join my son and his family for mutual help. Put briefly, the safety of me, my wife, & my children and grandchildren is vastly more important than that of neighbors who don't like me, are anti-gun or already have a track record of taking advantage.
I do plan to later get a scoped bolt rifle and a shotgun, so that might change or add to my choice of firepower.
