B> Without King Sooper and Starbucks, the next impulse will be to buy or steal prepared foods- which is why it does not pay to advertise that you are a prepper or have any amount of stored foods- someone will remember.
C> While a lot of people own guns, not all of them know how to hunt and your kidding yourself if you think the animals wont fade into deep cover.
I think where you live might be putting a skew on your perception of Colorado's populace, true Denver is full of the clueless, but pretty much everywhere else is chock full of hunters/gun owners. This place would get very very interesting, very quick, esp. in the places where water isn't easily obtained. The key is water, the food part would be fairly easy.

It all depends on what kind of SHTF your dealing with. Am I the only one that has pre-routed out of country destinations? Face it folks, if it gets that shitty here, New Mexico, Utah, etc. are going to have the same problem. If its isolated inside of the USA, you'll have to leave, or welcome to the new Bosnia! If it is an isolated event (I.e. virus, social unrest) it can probably be out-waited by bugging in. If our country goes 3rd world and tyranical, I'll become the next Russian/German/Brazilian etc.
