Urban HD: Whats your plan?

[tenholewheels]

living in south MS. with no water no power no nothing
for 17 days with myself my wife,my 16 yr old son and my 4 month old
daughter.
my wife was working at a nursing home so she was working
but my work was shut down.
me and the son used to keep watch in shifts 6 on 6 off.
you couldn't sleep anyway it was like 100 degrees at be night.
i carried my mosberg mariner 590 and smith-wesson pc 1911
my son carried my kel-tec sub2000 and my rossi .44spl.

nothing happened but we sure worked out a system
that can still be applied at a moments notice.

It is. Nothing more comforting than a good blaster at your side.

[xtremehunter83]

maybe i should buy another one

[kgpcr]

I have my good old M60 and 3 250rnd belts and a few claymores. I also have a few WP grenades so i feel pretty secure. Oh yeah i almost forgot the toe poppers.

Remington 870 12 gauge in the corner. Loaded with #1 BK.

I do agree that extra mags are a good thing. Although you if you need up to 10 it might be better to invest in a guided missile system.

Already executed my plan: buy decent house in quiet neighborhood in quiet, boring city.

Been there, done that. Everything was fine until one of the neighbor kids (with a deputy father and detective mother) hooked up with a crew (consisting of individuals his mother busted) and went on a robbery spree.

That's when Plan B became Plan A.

1 warning non-lethal round

Why? You can't warn them some other way and not waste a round?

4 Rubber Cuff

Also why? Do you see some advantage to keeping 4 bad guys around for later?

Holy cow! I know what you do for a living so I presume you mean Robbery and not Burglary (Home Invasion or robbing folks in the driveways?). Hope all is well down there.

Well, just goes to show, not safe anywhere. That's why I have a Plan B.

4 Rubber Cuff

Because on TV it looks so easy to cuff someone that they want to try it themselves?

Forget the fact it sometimes takes 2, 3, and 4 officers to cuff someone that REALLY doesn't want to be cuffed.

It started with an entry into a home through an unlocked door (not encountering the home owner, fortunately), escalated with 32 vehicles hit in one night, and topped off with an attempted break in when the home owner was present. Everything's been quiet for a bit, as the suspect in the break in matched the deputy's son perfectly. I guess that after telling 911 to cancel the call as it was no big deal, the deputy had a chat with his son (who also "happened" to have "discovered" some of the property "discarded" nearby).

Things are only going to get worse, as there was also an unrelated incident with a guy getting into the backyard where some kids were playing and approaching them.

Fortunately, we've adopted a furry son who happens to be the perfect alarm system. A gnat breaking wind at 100 meters will wake him from a deep sleep. If the gnat moves onto his property (i.e. anything within range), he alerts. If the pooch had opposable thumbs and access to firearms, half the neighbors would be dead already.

If you mean by urban defense the armed resistance to multiple bad guys in waves, my plan would be to retreat. That scenario is a losing proposition. I made a wise choice to get out of New Orleans about 25 years ago.

Urban defense is sort of like solo house clearing, many layouts you have to expose yourself to an uncleared area. Sometimes you just can't do it right.
