fight or negotiation

...This thread scenario is an important dilemma that many preppers have to grapple with, which is why I am pushing this one to keep the debate on the actual points originally raised. Regards, TL.

I appreciate the value of debating scenarios such as these TL, serving as they do to focus the mind on the 'what if's' of any 'event'. In all honesty though, I find I have nothing further to add to my last response:

Quote:As for the BI/BO choice, I don't have one. I'm not going to get far in my chair, so I can't let outsiders win.

Will I negotiate? I doubt it. It'll be seen as a sign of weakness.

Will I kill to defend me and mine? That's a harder question to answer. For me, a lot will depend on the gravity of the 'event'. If it's likely to be over in a couple of months, maybe taking a life isn't worth it. In that case, my response would depend on what they did but if their actions warranted it, then yes, I would kill and be prepared to take the consequences when ROL returns. (I'm an old git anyway.)

If the 'event' is a doozie then what we have, we need to survive and nobody's getting it.

Either way, I wouldn't take it lightly. Taking anyone's life is as serious as it can get and the act and the responsibility will always stay with you.

That's as honest as I can be...
