I was in a discussion about this and very surprised to hear the number of guys that advocated fleeing their home should the unlikely but highest-stakes event occur of a mob attacking their home.

I advocate fleeing anywhere if possible except ones own home. Can you save your home and lives short term? Of course you can. Might they come back later to finish the job when your gone or in jail should you be arrested? Sure.

But flee your home and let it be ransacked and burned while the insurance company may or may not pay up?

F-that! I think it's a hill worth dying / killing on. Family included.

Thoughts?
