I've seen them out at soco They're pounding sixteen penny nails The truckers on the interstate Have been known to ride the rails The sweat is beating on the brow Can't keep these fellas down 'Cause those damned blue-collared tweekers Are runnin' this here town
I knew a man who hung drywall He hung it mighty quick A trip or two to the blue room Would help him do the trick His foreman would pat him on the back Whenever he would come around 'Cause these dammed blue-collar tweekers Are beloved in this here town
Now the union boys are there To protect us from all the corporate type While curious george's drug patrol Is out here hunting snipe Now they try to tell me different But you know i ain't no clown 'Cause those damned blue-collar tweekers Are the backbone of this town
Now the flame that burns twice as bright Burns only half as long My eyes are growing weary As i finalize this song So sit back and have a cup o' joe And watch the wheels go round 'Cause those damned blue-collar tweekers Have always run this town
I'm about 60 minutes by car from downtown Cincinnati. I've also got the OHio River between me and downtown.
Somebody asked me: What are you going to do if they invade your place?
My answer: I used to keep a big community tank. There were always a big fish that hid back behind the rocks. You'd never see him out, but if you put new fish in the tank, everything would be cool until the lights went out. The next morning, the big fish would be fatter and the new fish would be gone. When I drive out to the farm from town, I pass all these little white farm houses and empty-looking doublewides and such, and I figure each one has a big fish living in it. I've got nothing to worry about. I live on the dead end of a county road that comes from nowhere and ends at my tobacco barn. I look out the back and my neighbors are over a mile away. If any trouble does come down the road, all I have to do is hide out in the woods with one of my deer rifles and pick off whatever dares to step onto the front porch. KYHillChick owns a 30-06 and can hit a milk jug at 450 yards with it. I'll let her shoot the fat ones, and I'll take the skinny ones.
There are lots of Mormons here and they're well known for keeping a couple years of food in storage. If the SHTF, everyone knows who has the food and they'd be primary targets. Yes, many are well armed but they can only hold off a bunch of invaders by themselves for a limited time. Their stored food will be a liability, not a salvation.

It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
"Their stored food will be a liability, not a salvation."
Five armed bad guys show up to steal the food. The first one get shot right in the chest with a Swedish Mauser. Are the other four up for a gunbattle, or would they run away and seek an easier target?

I've heard this for most of my life ie. the desperation of hungry people. And it does show its ugly head at times but remember, hungry people are just that, hungry, not well fed which means not at full capacity let alone "operator" strong.
If hungry people were such a threat, Somalia would rule the world.

Better yet swap that swede for an AR, shoot all of them in the face and make a pile of jerky.

I am in to old military guns but I must admit there are advantages to modern guns. What if, I get the first guy in the chest with a 139 grain bullet from the Swede at 2,400 fps, and the second guy I get in the back. The other three get away. That is pretty good, isn't it?

Hell yeah it's good. I have always thought that backshooting was underappreciated.
