    But if I can expend MOST of my ammo in a judicious effort first, than I'll have saved some poor farmer over in OH from having to face some of these goblins. And with fewer to face, he'll save some farmer over in IL the same trouble. And so on down the line.

    I live life with a clear conscience and a light heart. I'll damn sure live free or die in my own home. Death is not the worst of evils.
    Agreed

    Oh I’m prepared to evacuate the primary position should it become untenable. That doesn’t necessarily mean I’m fleeing the melee though...

    Some have responded that material things are not worth dying for, and they are 100% correct on that. The bigger question is the philosophical one, of the principal behind the decision. Is it really about defending my "stuff," or is it about not allowing myself to be at the mercy of those who would take from me, harm me, and maybe kill me?

    I think Lance Thomas sums it up well in this video.

    I have faced down mobs many times in my past, some times using less lethal weapons and other times using deadly force.

    I will 100% guarantee you that a mob when faced with deadly force will break and run.

    But in the USA today that isn't the issue.

    The issue is will you ruin your life by taking such actions.

    I am sorry to say the answer is more than likely yes.

    I disagree with those that take the position, I am not going to kill people over "stuff". What a PC load of bullshit.

    I worked hard for my stuff, by the mob coming and taking it away by force they are stealing not just my stuff but my time and effort I had to put into work to earn my stuff. Thus this mob has turned me into a slave that worked for nothing because the mob took my stuff. It is bad enough the government has me as a slave for 6 months a year, now the mob wants what is mine.

    It is this mentality of PC crap, that makes me wonder about the future of the USA.

    Don't muddy the waters. Are you talking about a mob or Intruders? Two different things...

    One is already in your house, the other is outside.

    Everyone's answer will be different. No everyone has 40 acres front yard. Some properties end past the front door. Are you going to shoot into the street? Can you later prove that whomever you shot across the street was actually putting your life in danger? Because the mob will leave but the shooting investigation wont

    Your right I shouldn't have used the word intruders.

    But why should there be a difference in reaction between 2 people trying to break into your home while yelling threats to harm you vs 100?

    Difference is a mob is a large group of people where not everyone or even anyone may be breaking into your house. Plenty of videos of mobs walking down the street causing a ruckus but not actually breaking into anyone's house. Those who actually enter your residence is a different story. However, shooting at people outside is going to end bad for you.

    The idea that you could gather enough retards to terrorize the neighborhoods is absurd. If somehow things got that out of control, I would kill every single shitbag I could get in my sights.

    If one of them lights a Molotov and you turn them into a human torch, will that end bad for you as well?

    I dunno I'm not a lawyer. Could I prove it was about to be thrown at me? How far away from my house was it? Like I said some houses have no front yards, the door leads directly to the sidewalk or street.
