Arm Thy Neighbor

 Arm Thy Neighbor, by Matt Bracken

If you don’t presently own any firearms, you may have been considering taking that step in order to protect yourself and your family. Or perhaps you already have what you consider to be an adequate home armory, but is it really enough? In the event that our economy tanks, one certain outcome will be much higher levels of criminal violence. Read Fernando Aguirre’s excellent “The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse,” based on his experiences in Argentina after 2001, to see what happens to civil society when a national currency collapses and the banks are closed. Today’s career criminals will be that much more desperate and willing to use violence against their victims.

The feral youths who need little encouragement to bust heads for sport in times of relative plenty may be starving, and no moral consideration will keep them from sticking a gun in your face or a knife in your back.

  1. Excellent recommendation.
    Also: Stay out of crowded spaces, find the exits, carry carry carry, maintain communication with trusted neighbors and friends, do all the usual common sense things people forget to do.

  2. It's probably good, no best, to trade and sell among relatives, friends and neighbors while it's still legal without unconstitutional "universal background checks". That way, unless you volunteer the info to authorities, the guns are off the record. They are supposed to be anyway, but I've read and heard that the government violates current law (NICS) to create and keep a database. Here in Tennessee, we are one of several States which does its own background sales checks through TBI and State law demands immediate destruction of those records when a buyer is approved. I hope they are obeying the law. I trust my State more than I do the "deep state" FBI and ATF. By the way, there are NO powers delegated to the fedgov in the Constitution for A,T or F. --Ron W

  3. If I ever got swept by some one like the asshole on the left in the photo, I would probably do something I would not regret.

    1. I believe the picture consists of owners who guarded stores after the Ferguson fiasco.
