Two guys were talking about if food shortages led to anarchy. The guy living in the city said "we will be fine, we will have the police. I worry about those like you in the country areas." My neighbor just looked at him and laughed.
Old story, we didn't have police protection for weeks after a hurricane. Large groups from a backwards area less than two miles away walked the subdivision. Looting happened within a few hundred feet of my home. I was cleaning my front yard with my forty-five strapped on. My neighbors saw the merit and soon were openly carrying. Even the elderly lady next door got out her thirty-eight. We didn't have any problems!
