Just out of curiousity

Yeah very sad. It is hard for me to understand how people don't see that lawfully carried guns protect them as well as the person carrying in the store with them.

Luckily i live in Kentucky and concealed carry is legal without a permit. No list with your name on it.

A strong defense is the best offense. There are still towns, counties and such in the US where there are laws on the books requiring every home-owner to own a gun. those laws are old, and not enforced. But, still...

By not exercising the right to bear arms, citizens are in effect saying: I give up all of my freedom, and trust that my government will ALWAYS act in my best interests.

Run away! But really... I dunno. Time to research?

I would think if martial law were declared, Id make sure to have as much ammo and food as possible. Im planning on getting some large storage tanks for water collection and have dozens of gallon jugs and 2 litres filled with water for cleaning or other uses.
If you have a way to hide anything where it cant be discovered or taken easily if found, like guns, ammo, long term food storage items, find a place to do it.
Guns can be hidden in pvc pipe either attached to existing pipe under the house making it look like part of the strucure, or you can bury it in the yard. Make sure to put stuff inside in a waterproof container and oil the gun good and seal in a plastic bag or something. Im sure you can find youtube videos on that.

I think it's important to be able to protect yourself, as well as having a means of hunting for your meat source. There will come a time when private ownership and use of guns is prohibited. This is a constitutional right. The very folks who are sworn to protect our rights are working to take that right away. Take the time NOW to arm yourself and your home.

But, seriously, how is a home owner going to stand against a military force? Not gonna happen, unless we mount a civil war of like minded individuals.

A follow up question: How long will the reader survive if access to bank accounts, gas stations, grocery stores is cut off? Utilities: electricity, LP, heating oil? Grain and pet food?

My bottom line: I will do what I can to protect. I am working towards self sufficiency with a chicken flock, garden, orchard, learning how to preserve food. But, ultimately, my faith is placed in God, regardless of outward circumstances.

We just sold the last of our registered firearms . Now none are tied to us on paper, so no one will come to collect knowing what's here (perfectly legal in NH, btw).

We have propane for heat currently but have multiple woodstoves in the shed so could make a heat source in an emergency situation. Plenty to hunt here, plenty of trees for firewood, we have chickens, pigs... biggest issue here is our short growing season.

I have spoken with enough military and police to know that neither will have full force if ordered to take our guns. We would never be up against the entire US military , a large number of them would take arms with us. No question. But it's not going to be a fun time if it ever comes to that .

Looks like it might be a good read. Have you read the "Left Behind" series?

It's not exactly likely to happen here either!
