We at the Doc1 Homestead are very well prepped. We boosted our already large preps a bit at the outbreak of Corona, but didn't really need much. I gave DW a pocketful of cash today to further stock up the liquor cabinet and my tobacco stores. With any prepping, you'll never know what you missed until you're in the middle of the storm. Still, we don't have many holes in our preps.
As with many on this board, I don't worry about our preps nearly as much as I consider the response of the unprepped masses. There will always be a legal grey area between normal times and WROL times. I've seen both. Some of you may recall that I posted about gasoline being stolen from our barn last month. I have since installed an alarm in the remote barn, but as I explained to DW, "You can't just shoot someone for stealing gasoline."
The problem is that in normal times, a shooting is bad legal news. Even if totally justified, there will be a police investigation, a likely grand jury adjudication and possibly the confiscation of your firearms, not to mention associated legal fees. You may come out legally clean on the other end, but it's still going to cost you. Do you really want to find yourself jailed at the beginning of a pandemic or other society-shaking event?
In a real WROL scenario, someone stealing gasoline could represent a life or death threat and there'll be no sheriff or grand jury investigation - because there'll be no deputies or grand juries investigating anything. Your response compass must always be considering changing circumstances.
