There are lots of good thoughts and ideas here. For me it comes down to knowing the character of the person and those who surround them, and sometimes that is a factor that in my mind is almost impossible to assess during a SHTF situation, and that even applies to me. I’ve learned how to slow myself down to stop and think during a “panic” situation but in all honesty a long term, loss of life and health type event has not and hopefully will never happen to me. Yeah, wishful thinking, I know!
In the past more people lived in a tighter community, allowing them to know either first hand or by word of mouth, who was a liar, cheat, theif, etc.. Now a days those who are often closest in proximity to us are often the people we know the least about.
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts, this is something I’ve battled with in my mind often, and what point would I be willing to trust anyone walking up my driveway? I’m I fight or flight person or both? I talk the talk but do I really walk the walk, when it comes to defending myself and or my family?
