Very hypothetical situation

If crime was legal for 12 hrs I might kill every damn seagull in this town. Blackbirds would get it too. Flying rats suck

My dogs have commanded that all squirrels will pay if the power goes out.

Reminds me of this bumper sticker that I saw once:

I'm thinking that O'Bozo would finally be evicted in a manner in which he truly deserves (i.e. truck + chain + potholed road) and that Washington DC would become significantly less populated and have a lot less crooks.

One thing mentioned in the movie was that the 'poor couldn't afford to protect themselves'.

...but i'd like to THINK i'd do what that family did, only be much better armed and have a better plan....

What about the daughter that didn't want to huddle together with the family causing 1 more problem than they already had.
Why does anyone want a home that big anyway. Not tactical.

Watching it now, for the first time, on one of the big pay cable networks that loves shows about mafia and vampires. The house is too big, too technologically dependent, not working as a cohesive family unit, not well armed.....all recipes for disaster! As for the OP's question, you can hunker down with steel doors, bars on the windows and stone siding just as long as you want.....so long as nobody outside remembers that your roof is nothing more than a couple of minutes worth of work with a circular saw. I say bug out to the most remote location you can adequately defend, be prepared, and cover your 6 in this instance. Your results may vary.

most of the houses in the movies or TV seem quite a bit larger than they would be in real life going by the outside view of the house. Houses that in real life are probably 2000 sq-ft or less end up looking over 6000 sq-ft when they do the fake sets. I used to own a 4000 sq-ft single story house and it did not take me very long to *walk* from one end of it to the other. These movies have someone being chased around the house and it takes longer than it took me to walk all the way across my house.

And then there are the TV shoes where the characters are living in an apartment in Manhattan. I've lived there (on a project a few years back) and all I can say is that I was spending a lot more money than these poor characters could afford and it was a decidedly small apartment.

Good thing I'm neither a ****** or a bitch. Note to mods: so bibby can drop the N word in this video about a hundred times and I can't write it once? That's discrimination ******!

If you're not set up to handle a "Purge" scenario, then you better hope Obama never gets assassinated.

I would live in this:

You want safe, you build underground with limited access and an active defense system.

Prove it.

Personally, I'm hoping for a planet killer size meteor on whatever golf course he is on at the time. Yeah, it would mess up the greens, but that would be acceptable collateral damages, wouldn't it?

And to the NSA jackbooted thugs who are reading this, it's called "hyperbole". Get a dictionary and learn how to use it.

You should petition the moderators ban biggie smalls.

Watching the movie right now. It is on HBO

 

[winchster]

Watched it on my free preview weekend. Horrible movie.
Me, I'd have a much more robust security system, and an arsenal for each member of the house.

I better plan is really need it. How the hell does the boyfriend sneak in with a security system like that. If I had that kind of money I would have all kinds of motion sensor that would alert me on my Ipad.

I like how they don't lockdown til the last second. I'd be locked down at least 48 hours early with provisions not to come out till 72 hours later.

My self defense would also include some active measures. The movie had all passive measures, not even some razor wire. The trucks wouldn't have gotten close to my house. I'd have a berm not a fence.

No gun ports?

Cross the property line and the person would be dead.

I would live in this:

Looks tough, but it's still only plywood. Same problem as mentioned with the roof.

Probably better with normal brick/rock walls and steel shutters. Maybe a good heavy gauge copper roof to slow them down.


Or go underground as mentioned. Probably the best bet. Don't forget the done houses either. They can withstand a ton of abuse including .30 caliber rifles.
