We’ve got plenty of food, water, medical supplies and emergency power. Which means we and a bunch of geographically close friends would either make it through the first months relatively unscathed in our own house, or get killed early in the game for our stuff. If the war came geographically close, we could cross the border to two neighbouring countries within a couple of hours (car) or a day (bike).
I was considering buying a gun, but as the saying goes: a gun without the training means your attacker just got a free gun. Around here there are better ways to protect oneself.
Luckily civil war is highly unlikely around here, and I’m immensely grateful for that. At the moment I’m more worried about a power outage or some other shortage.
