Most people will never know. Even when it kills them.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Things that make me go - HHMMM!!!! https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...72/do-you-have-a-shtf-rifle#Post17319372I noticed this post on the Hunting Rifle sub-forum and it got me to thinking - what exactly is a SHTF event? It has to have as many definitions as there are people who dwell on it. How does one determine what type of firearm they need when everyone likely has a different idea of what a SHTF moment is? Is it a Goverment take-over? Invasion of a foreign power? A societal breakdown? Running out of food supplies nationwide? Running out of fuel? Electrical grid failure? Riots? drover Any of these could lead to collapse and a few are already in process. A nuclear EMP could result in a one year 90% fatality rate. We’d be sitting around a lot of unworkable equipment and be back to a circa 1850’s life style.

With or without the $hit hitting the fan. kwg Heard something on the radio about some city making people justify a 911 response before they will dispatch. Cost of fuel was the excuse. IDGAF if it's $10/gal, if they won't roll 1st responders because of fuel, your city is totally screwed. That don't even begin to account for personnel issues and plain old lackawanna.

the one time I barely made it into stripes because I had to chit real bad, got in the stall dropped my draws, and exploded all over the wall and toilet, guess that's chit hitting the wall. Lucky there was no fan in there or you'd be forced to choose a rifle.

SHTF is different for everyone.
Lose your job, big medical problem, kid gets injured, any number of things can be SHTF

All of the above!
A SHTF situation is a personal thing and different for most of us!
But, most any one of the above will lead to societal breakdown! Once you have achieved societal breakdown …..you are in a SHTF situation for everyone! JMO memtb

Yes. It’s any one of those or all of those.
I don’t know what a SHTF weapon is. Needs a sarcasm icon.

Lose brakes, break a cinch, etc.. Forgot to check a trailer one of the guys hitched to my truck last year. Came across a bridge around a curve and hit a pot hole, looked back it was shaking back and forth like a marlin trying to get off a hook. Broke both chains , slammed into a guard rail, did a 180deg and slammed into the guard rail on the other side of the road and finally came to a stop. I'm watching the whole thing in the rearview like WTF! Thank god no one was following me or passing on that road. I don't let anyone hitch scheit to my truck anymore, nor will I ever again. Scared the living piss out of me. I pass that fugged up guard rail everyday and think about it.

It's been happening for years in the bigger Scheitholes. The occupy movement took over half a city and the LEO wouldn't do anything. Small business owners have been on there own in the ghetto for a long damn time. When it's time to help, you're on your own. When it's time to enforce unconstitutional laws, they'll be lined up in tac gear with armored vehicles though, because they'll lose that kickazz 40K a year job if they don't follow orders.

The Left has us waiting for SHTF events and a "Leader". Meanwhile, they have control of nearly everything and we wait.
The SHTF event was way back, un-noticed and unopposed, as planned by the Commies.
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

Empty toilet paper roll
Out of beer
AC quits working
These are some examples I came up with off the top of my head. Had all three happen at the same time. It was ugly.

While the term is purposefully ambiguous I think most people would accept that Katrina and the Rodney King Riots would fall into the definition of "SHTF."
And Trystan is a fugking moron.
