Here's the scenario:
You live in a suburban area or a rural area within 50 miles of a decent sized city no larger then New York City and no smaller than Orlando (200,000ish people) . The city is within 1 hour driving distance, the city has an international airport, large hospital, and virtually all kinds of department stores. You just got a call from a neighbor who you have be-friended saying he heard from another friend and on the local news that Al queada terrorists have unleashed several "dirty" bombs in the city which we will call AMERICANOPOLISand as a result have cause panic and chaos in your area, looters and local thugs are going house to house stealing to survive. You also get word from your friend that terrorists have launched multiple nationwide attacked simultaneously and the Army has ordered police and small national gaurd units to patrol neighborhoods from looters and possible further terrorist attacks. Your friend also said that the terrorists are also going door to door with ak-47's and body armor and RPG's assassinating random citizens one by one. The Army is stretched too thin from numerous foreign wars, and the local police is outgunned and too busy dealing with the immediate emergencies to spend time patrolling neighborhoods. You hang up the phone and turn the TV on to get a better grasp on whats going on, an emergency alert reads there is a national emergency and you are ordered to stay inside of your house for your own safety that there were nationwide terrorist strikes. Then all of a sudden your power goes out. While you want to stay inside you realize that you need to go shopping and get enough food for the rest of the night and possibly the next few days. Also you want to check up on your friend and other family friends who live in your area to make sure that they are doing ok. You look out the window and see that the police has not reached your neighborhood yet, you walk outside and talk to a nieghbor to ask if he has heard about anything about the emergency and he says that he heard from his friend that the police will not secure your area for the rest of the night and will mostly will be secure by tomorrow afternoon. Your You must rely on your common sense and any previous army experience or self defense classes or outdoor experience etc. to protect your family, friends and neighborhood. You are not sure whether you will run into armed terrorists, but remember your friend told you that in some cities Al queda/jihadist terrorists are going door to door assassinating people.
Task list:
1. Re-stock on food any supplies at local store
2. Check up on friend and family/other friends
3. Survive the night and morning of next day until Police/NAtional gaurd troops show up and secured your area
Rules:
1. Must only consist of anything you OWN either in your house or in your vehicle this can be guns, knives (can be kitchen knives), garden tools, etc. anything that you could use as a weapon. What type of other accessories would you want to carry with you example: flashlights, first aid, snacks, etc.
2. Must be stuff you can carry with you without hindering your mobiblity... you must be mobile enough to surive the trip to the store to re stock on food, and survive the trip to your friends/families homes, and survive so you can't load yourself down with crap. It must be enough for you to comfortably carry for extended periods
3. Since we are in a gun forum you can list current guns you own that you would want to carry with you and any preffered weapons/rifles/sidearms/ other equipment
4. IF you list preferred equipment it must REALISTIC not fantasy. Something you could realistically afford, buy and use. For example: do not list M1 Abrams tank or factory bullet proof vests.
What procedures would you take to secure your house, family, friends house, etc.
