I’ve been vacillating between thinking about how I will protect my home, if or when the zombies attack in November, and thinking I’m crazy for thinking about it. I live in a relatively quiet neighborhood in the city limits of Pcola. I’ve been here for 30 years, and we don’t see much in the way of crime, and we know and keep in communication with all our directly adjacent neighbors, but not so much for those a few houses down. I’m pretty sure my neighbors are not well armed, and some are definitely liberal but one is conservative but elderly. Between them all, they may have a shotgun or two. I doubt anyone besides me has an AR or a high capacity, semi-auto handgun, or pump shotgun. I have all of the above and plenty of ammo that I stocked up on when it was cheaper and at least twelve 30 round mags for the AR.
I expect I’ll have them all loaded up before the election and be outside and concealed, but what I’m worried about is over-penetration with the AR. There’s almost no way to shoot from my yard and not hit a house across the street, and my neighbors are going to come look out the windows if there’s a commotion. I’ve thought about just loading up the shotgun with something like steel waterfowl loads which I have plenty of, or buckshot, but the capacity (6+1) worries me. I’d rather have 30 +1 in the AR.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone is having similar thoughts, and what you’ve decided. Hopefully I’m crazy and this never materializes — at least here, but I’d rather be ready and it not materialize than the other way around.
