when does a preper become a raider

[sc1]

Interesting thread.

I do have kids and a wife. My plans are to bug in, to have enough supplies in to ensure survival. I realise that most people will not have made any plans so will typically have maybe 2 weeks food in the house at a push. Once those 2 weeks expire, people will be doing anything for food, and that includes trying to take my food. I have it well secured, it is stored in a location in which it will not be found. I have also planned to robustly defend my supplies if the S does HTF. Take my street as an example. I would say I'm the only prepper in the street, maybe in the area. I'd say that this is typical in the UK. We will be up against it. Big time. By the same token, I will be in a position to defend my supplies because I have the advantage of being ready. People attempting to enter my property will not know what hit them.

Regarding raiding. If things go badly wrong I would be prepared to raid. Definitely. This would be a worst case scenario. I wouldn't choose to raid but if I had to, no problem.
