Armed march on DC

[Riverkilt]

Didn't Jubal Early try this back in 1864?

I was in Washington D.C. during the veteran's riots. They turned out tanks, sand bagged machine gun nests on street corners, tear gas, and lots of troops to defend Washington against the unarmed veterans. Looked more like Moscow to me...so weird to be walking to work in our nation's capital wearing a suit and tie and be walking through tear gas, past the machine gun nests and clanking tanks.

If they did that for unarmed vets I'm guessing the reception will be much stronger for guys with rifles.

Not planning on going, but if I went I'd take my oldest rifle - knowing its gonna be confiscated.

That’s what I was thinking…or one that would be least missed for sure

Nah. Just take a pistol shaped Poptart, and dozen jelly donuts (for the LEO). :mrgreen:

What would you load those Poptart pistols with? Gum drops and milk duds? M&M's would be classed as armor piercing

 

[oli700]

frozen M&M855's

I like this outcome.....but I hope you aren’t talking about AIDS

No, no AIDS. We can leave that for the foreign countries it came from. Just us and our weapons vs them and their weapons...

Roger That.. I deserved it for commenting on his Modern Musket

EDIT:

The sheepdogs can have at the sheep all they want, slip into a phone booth
(a small structure furnished with a phone and designed for a user's convenience. Often placed in a common area like a street corner Rick)
And come bursting out donning a shemagh and a tac vest yelling “this way everyone, I’ll protect you”

I totally missed this the first go around... Thanks Oli

They will stab you in the back….bank on it.
More than one time people thank us up and down as we save their house from wildfire, right up to the front door sometimes….the coin us” hero’s”….yeah I know…..point is those same people call next week “you asses got fire retardant on my house and motor home”……we go out and wash their house and motor home with the same fire engines, while they watch because if we don’t it’s a call higher up the chain…..that is sheep for you, have fun with them

You got that right brother!

I've dealt with enough distressed homeowners over the years to know that only too well. In the heat of the moment, it's "whatever it takes to prevent further damage" or whatever the situation is. After the dust settles only a few will say "Thank you, we really appreciate your efforts to save our home and our belongings." Many will bitch and moan and complain, expecting someone to go good for an "act of God" or some other unpredictable happenstance. Watch the fur fly, when the insurance company says "Sorry, you're not covered for that."

It's unfortunate, but after seeing so many people in those situations and the high number of those who try to screw someone else later to make their own situation better....doesn't leave much hope in my opinion. Take care of your own first...if you can afford to be charitable later, then its a lucky day for them.

In a serious SHTF situation...I know my hands will be full just covering my own ass and looking after my family too.

This pic is awesome... Sad cuz it's true but so friggin' funny!

Pretty much how I feel nowadays, I mean you know we've stooped low when MTV teen moms strive to make pornos, leaving their kids to rot somewhere :evil:

... so lets make sure at some point, all of us decide on a nice central location to rally, make it our own little Mossberg Owners safe haven while the rest of the world... well:

 

[Itsricmo]

I'm glad you guys are having fun with it
I look a hell of a lot better in my gear thank you!

You couldn't possibly fit through those tiny locomotive doors if you looked like that!!

And you know fun is always 'funner' at someone else's expense!!

AK....Oli and I will meet you, we'll be the ones in jeans, cowboy boots, work shirts with lots of guns!! Oli can pick me up and we'll come hide out with you in the Last Frontier!!

 

[aksavanaman]

I'm pretty sure there's plenty of room up here so come on up! It might get a little tricky with growing crops but I'm sure we'll manage

I'm glad you guys are having fun with it

Speak for yourself Rick, I can only dream to look as tacticool as that guy!

 

[OhioArcher]

Phone Booth :?: :? What's that...

Someone need to loosen this guy's/gal's vest! It is so tight their head is going to explode...

It might get a little tricky with growing crops

Speaking of crops, I heard that in OR a group of smoke jumpers landed in a area used for growing left-handed cigarettes...gives a new meaning of "smoke" jumpers...

 

[oli700]

they freaked out and tried to talk us out of our helo to extract them.....I actually saw the feds jump as it was near one of the fires we were working just on the border with USFS land.....it wasn’t an emergency so we said walk your asses out...their jump was so far off the were about 2 miles off of the fire….at least they landed near their gear
