You know, one of the biggest moral decisions people will genuinely face in a TEOTWAWKI situation is making decisions where you know somebody may/will die, like your grasshopper. For many people, this may be conflicting, but can be rationalized. It becomes more difficult if you see a woman begging for food/medicine or else her child will die. I do not think people are spiritually prepared to walk down these kind of moral roads, but most will have no choice.

There's an interesting Q&A narrative from a person that survived in Bosnia that's worth reading. It's focused on the "in the city" hardscrabble life that people had to endure on a daily basis. A LOT of fascinating insights, and I'd daresay this is similar to what people would endure here. http://www.tacticalintelligence.net/blo ... ccount.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: Arm Thy Neighbor?

Interesting point. I always tell people that if you're REALLY in an survival situation, having a few Hi-Point pistols around can't hurt. They can definitely be given to your friends like candy and they're pretty darned reliable for being so cheap. They're nowhere near the serviceability of a Glock or M&P, but, for a carbine around $250 or a pistol around $150, they'll do the job (I've owned a Hi-Point carbine in the past...it was very reliable and went bang when you pulled the trigger).

Added bonus: Hi-Points handle +P ammo :cheers2:
