Ok.

...cross kazoo off the "go to" list........

Kind friend we're an open tent.

Everyone's welcome. Crossing 25 and any other road leading in to town, that's another story.

OR you're a survivalist kind of guy who will do anything to protect what's yours. If any of you believe i'll share what i have, picture your rotten corpse plastered across the mail box, from my 12ga

Hey Neighbor! I noticed you putting a whole bunch of flag poles in your yard. You planning on flying that many flags?

No, dude these are for all the folks who think they "know where they are going when SHTF." Just call me rbeau30 "the Impaler".

[roberth]

Just say NO.

I still haven't figured out how to prevent the seekers after a shtf scenario.

It will still be mostly facade. When we talk about "defense" we also include this idea of not making ourselves an inviting target. When considering a place where we shelter, this come in two basic flavors...hard target and undesirable. Hard targets will have distance and normal tactical advantage elements like lights, alarms, dogs, etc. In a SHTF scenario, any engagement is undesirable to say the least and the hard target will likely be viewed as having desirable supplies. So the presentation of the facade should be slanted towards the undesirable.

So, like, slather your house in feces and hang up some biohazard signs?

Actually a couple boarded up front windows with black paint or soot around the window openings, and up onto the eaves/soffits would do a fine job replicating an interior fire.

I was going to do something similar to my house when my wife was out of town for two weeks.

I heard on the radio today about some presidential order #####? that gives the government the right to enter your house and take food and supplies if needed.
I heard it on the Glen Beck show I believe. Anyone else heard of this?

Hey long time no see Ron.

Phil Hendrie did a pretty funny skit with Bobbie Dooley (president of the HOA) who would go around to the houses in her neighborhood and confiscate food if she felt like people had too much. She would then keep it for herself and argued that her growing boys needed the food more than the people who originally had it did.

Executive Order 13603. Didn't hear it on Glenn Beck, but elsewhere on AM radio.

I skimmed these but it didn't pop out that the .gov can take your personal stores specifically. Course there are no specifics anywhere in the document. Maybe it can be interpreted that way. If things are to the point where the .gov needs your personal stores, I doubt they would really need an EO to justify it.
