I gained a lot of perspective on this after reading the continual AAR written by a guy who lived in Argentina after SHTF there...partial societal meltdown after an economic collapse. Very interesting read:
http://ferfal.blogspot.com/search/label/SHTF
Think about a large city being cut off from the normal supply of produce, take LA or New York for examples, or even DFW. Where I'm at, in the Salt Lake Valley, it is quite abnormal. I'd say a good 30% or more of the population has their own gardens and year's supply of food storage, and Utah is a very gun-friendly State, with 25% of all eligible adults having a CCW in 2007...not the place to step out and be a gangsta.
In many of these big cities, LE would be the first ones targeted by the bottom-feeder useful idiots with nothing to lose...riots supported by well-placed shooters covering them, targeted hits by career gang-bangers, lashing out by frustrated imbeciles, and things of that nature. Since National Guard units are deployed all over tarnation, they will be of limited help, and the enemy within has cut military strength progressively since the Bush Sr. administration.
Combine the enemy within in a coordinated effort with external enemies, and you could really start to lose sleep, especially since Cuba has been reserved as a strategic staging area by the communists since 1959, with full support from the UN and our European "allies". Now that China has occupied several former Soviet bases in Cuba, it makes me wonder about the timeline we're looking at, especially since they purchased the locks to the Panama Canal after Clinton honored Carter's signing of it away in 1999.
China has very limited maritime military capabilities, but is dominant in commercial shipping volume, so how hard would it be to simply marshal forces covertly via normal shipping activities? Especially with full complicity of a marxist-controlled media in the US, who successfully hid the fact that Clinton is a rapist, murderer, drug-runner, cocaine addict, led violent demonstrations against the US Embassy in England when he dodged the draft, Clinton isn't really his name, robbed the White House upon leaving office, etc., etc. How hard would it be to hide these movements from the majority of the people?
China is facing the absolute reality of societal collapse due to the income disparity between the burgeoning interior and coastal populations, lack of infrastructure, and demoralization from 60 years of communist oppression. They don't have enough food to feed their own people, which is not a good position to be in as global food prices inflate. Pressure has to be released in some manner...just reality.
In our hemisphere, the mass unrest caused by the narco-traffickers, who could have been manipulated by a foreign source to withhold $700 billion from the normal laundering cycle in 2007 and thus triggering the credit crunch (banks with no cash who were used to recovering it through money-laundering of the drug trade), has resulted in a full-blown war in Mexico, with casualties rivaling both Middle East/Central Asian theaters of war in the past 2 years. That's not a good scenario to have on our Southern border gents.
Then look at the current administration using the useful idiots to conduct massive and illegal protests, warming up for the big cahuna burger in the 2012 election next year, with nothing but violence as the end result of the recipe....
Yeah, you need a good plan for the future. A car gun is just one important possible tool in that kitbag, but where you live, your food supply and normal goods supply are equally important, under the umbrella of like-minded neighbors with families they would like to see live through their normal life spans. Keep in mind that a significant number of Congress think that socialism is a good idea, and have been passing legislation to that effect for a century...from both parties.
