One of my favorites is someone is going to take what they need from “X”.
My #1 of these is raiding the mormons.
Living in a heavily LDS community I can say a few things with certainty.
First, you are outnumbered.
Second, you are probably outgunned.
Thirdly, do you realize how many people have said just that? It is expected, literally.
It ended up being a subject for discussion during a class.
Another time a person related how he and his team would make their way to my area and take over an area and set up “shop”.
Didn’t have the heart to tell him that a large portion of our local shooters are not just vets, but accomplished long range shooters.
That for a charity shoot a couple of years ago, the winner was a 17 year old girl, at 1000y. The results were astounding actually.
The list of stupid SHTF comments is endless, we all have used or thought of one or two in our ‘prepping’ lives.
My most heard is probably “I’m safer living way out here” or some variation.
I look at ambulance response time, fire department response time even without it being SHTF and wonder.
We moved to town.
