KNOW thy neighbor .... be nice, be polite, but have a plan ready to kill every one of them if
necessary.
..... if it all hits the fan.....My [relatives] are nuttier than a Dairy Queen Sundae... and live 1,800 miles away..... Mommy wouldn't know the business end of a rifle if it fell on her.
Even John Wayne dies at the end of "
The Alamo." Sometimes, it just
goes that way.
Being as self-sufficient as possible helps (we have a greenhouse AND a garden), as well as networking with other like-minded folks (especially neighbors, but ALSO church members, other Boy Scout parents/leaders, local police, firefighters, EMS personnel, et.al.) with as broad a variety of skillsets as possible helps. Pray for the best, and plan for the worst. And keep a level-head. SOMEONE has to; probably OUGHTA
be the trigger-puller.
