It will not happen anytime soon, probably never. The U.S. mainland (not Alaska) hasn't been attacked by a large infantry force for many years and one robber doesn't need an AK to take care of him, unless he has a gang with him. Fighting against the govenment isn't somthing I'd like to mention. What are you guys afraid of, I have no worries when it comes to my saftey war wise. I'm not going agianst anything just using the my freedom.

I have the same issue as you it seems. I am scatter brained at times, and find it hard to organize my thoughts into a structure that makes sense to the rest of the members here. I think I understand what you are saying, and will try to answer.
When the shtf it is very possible that it may be started by people who are currently on the government dole who will be cut off when there is no money left to fund these programs. This would leave hoards of have nots trying to take that which they want from the haves.
Another scenario is that as the economy sinks further and further into the crapper, and jobs get more scarce, people will resort to criminal behavior just to put food on the table.
Either one of these scenarios will lead to the need of weapons and a plan for people who desire to protect their lives, and/or property from those wishing to take what they have

A couple getting married while naked in a submarine would be sort of non traditional to me. I know a white guy who is maried to an african american woman here and that is certainly non traditional here in MS. Tom

NEVER move your safe on the bed of a truck during a lightning storm if you store magnesiu, in it.

Brother, read the instructions on the Nyquol bottle before taking. Just because they put a plastic shot glass on the top of the bottle, does not mean you can shoot 4 or 5 or make a boilermaker out of it.
But if you are worried about the US being attacked, I would not lose much sleep over it. First off, long as we can fight them over there, we have no problems. We can go over there far easier than they could ever think of coming over here.
You have to consider things like 125M Americans who own some 300M guns. And that doesn't include the military. That alone is the single biggest challenge to anyone who wants to come here for war. They might take a building or two, a few planes. But they won't helicopter in, jump out and begin cutting a perimeter on US soil.
Any attack on America will be with missles. China, Russia, Iran whomever doesn't have enough ships to put their 1M man army on our soil. And every ship they send will be sunk by our fleet of subs, navy and air force. So they would loses 100's of thousands men before they even made it to our national waters. And if they did happen to make it, they would have more marines and army waiting on them than a single ship load of ak47's could handle.
We have the finest military personel in the world backed by the heaviest armed citizens. Nuking us would render the land useless, so what's to be gained in an attack? The world cannot exist without the American Soldier or the American Tax Payer. We cease to exist, the world will cease to exist.

Our society runs on the microchip and one big EMP equals chaos.

TSHTF may come as a smaller event like: banks closing, bank holidays, riots, earthquake, national depression, flood, huricane, tornado, bird flu swine - swine flu outbreak with quarantine & mass casualties, long term / short term loss of electric power.
What are you going to eat (feed your family) when the credit card reader at your local restuarant or grocery store doesn't work for an extended amount of time? How are you going to get cash of the bank when it's closed?
What are you going to eat (feed your family) when the trucks stop rolling and stop filling up the grocery store shelves becuase of a massive quarantine from a flu outbreak?
How are you going to protect your family when the hordes of hungry angry people trying to feed their family's come to your door and want to loot what you have?
I myself will be prepared.

The question I have for this poster is:
Are you smoking crack, dropped a double dose of LSD or are you just very drunk???
If you posted this in your normal (for you, not the rest of us) state of mind may I suggest a therapist, like right now!!!

If you feel that that is the case, don't worry then. I will be prepared though. Just don't expect me to share anything with you if it does happen though.

The economy is going to slide into a 1930's type depression, the government will continue to bail out the poor and tax the rich. The factories will close, Unemployment will continue up to over 25% municvipalities will be forced to cut their budgets. meaning fewer police and first responders. The Military will be further weakened by drastic cuts to defense spending.
Each of these elements should be considered kindling for the coming fire.
the will be a national catastrophy, natural or man made that will cause massive destruction in some region of the country. that will lead to looting, rioting and martial law, Gangs will try to take over cities across the country and the police will be unable to stop them on their own. The Nation Guard and eventually the army will be called in to protect the people.
where your guns and ammo fit into this depends on where you live. If you are out in the country you might escape the violence but need a gun to protect your property, livestock. If you live in the city you will need your gun to save your life.

Make sure you put away some food and water with those guns and ammo.

Nobody ever said that it could only come from an outside source. Natural disasters could easily make SHTF. A complete downfall of the economy and government could as well. If you think that CAN'T happen, you will be one of the first to be affected. Or one of the first to be shot trying to steal provisions from a member of this forum.
