Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
By the time you pay for shipping both ways you might as well spend a few extra bucks to buy yourself a copy. It's worth owning and B&N usually has a few copies on hand.Originally Posted by DFBrews

You sir, are a specialist in the art of discovering a welcoming outcome of a particular situation....not a mechanic.

Oh you're at the low point Friday, it gets a lot more positive from here on out.

Think I just might have to take a trip to Barnes and Noble tomorrow
We should support independent book stores like we try to support local gun shops.

Just picked it up in SFO yesterday. What an awesome read. I am not the "reading books" type. I like picutures.... I am about 80 pages in and cant set it down.
SHTF Scenario
Question for you guys... I just finished reading TSA and I'm in the camp of getting my crap together for this or any other SHTF type scenario. What I am debating is to bug out or to honker down. What are your thoughts about what you would do in this situation?
Pros of hunkering down:
Got 2 kids (7 and 2) and a wife - not gonna do a lot of rucking with kids.
Might be able to lay low enough to not raise attention if we stayed in the basement and defended what we have.
Can stock up and live off of 9 months of food for our family with some reasonable preparation.
Even w/o heat or electricity shelter from the elements and a fireplace is golden.
No humping lol
Cons of hunkering down:
House is a nightmare to defend - one Molotov cocktail and the place (including the brood and everything you worked toward/food) is up in smoke.
If the "Posse" type scenario happens you are screwed.
If you DID decide to take off chances are it would be too late and roads choked or shut down with others in the same thought.
I am interested to see what you all think about putting yourself in a SHTF scenario and your rational.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -John Stewart Mill
I think it all depends on your current house: i.e. your location, neighboorhood, surrounding areas, and what exactly the scenario is (if you're even able to tell).
I can tell you I sure as hell wouldn't want to hunker down in a house in the city, because of the people around, panic, lack of supplies, looting, etc, but if you live in one of those areas, would it be more dangerous to get out? You would either want to get a jump on everyone else leaving, or if you can make it a few days until the initial batshit crazy dies down, and then get it.
Just a few of my thoughts.

Further clarification
Without getting to specific I live south of Hampden and a bit East of Sheridan in the 80236 area. Not a bad area by comparison to my travels around the metro area. Far from LODO but still far enough from the hills to make bugging out a whole lot of work with kids.
