Here we go....
No we will not. Not today people.
Here we go....
Well, since I haven't been in a good fight since 2004, when a probationary trooper (not really a rookie, a sheriff's deputy with good experience who came to my department) and I had to take on a journeyman plumber who got all good and drunked up at about 3 in the afternoon. That dude was big, and kind of strong, and the PO and I literally sat on him until back up arrived. Took all of us to carry him into the jail.
So, fighting skills are kind of dated, but I've got more serious about firearms training and tactics now that I'm retired.
I am decent in handling cases within my very narrow area of government law, though that might not be the most needed skill once stuff goes to crap.
My most favorite thing is to turn some wrenches in my finished barn/workshop, that might be somewhat useful in the new wild and wooley "survival of the fittest" order.
I would love to see Seattle, Chicago or San Fransisco try this for just a year. I bet it would be entertaining as **** to watch the news out of there every night.
Finally found a use for those old things! At least they won’t jam when used like this!I. so in this I have concentrated on a 1911 as a bludgeon.
Oh and thanks everybody for having fun with this as was my intention! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I wanted to be the guy with all the cool toys but see that's already been taken so I'll help build the road warrior vehicles!
When somebody brings KoolaidWhen does something become a cult instead of just a really good group of friends having a good time together?
In the grand scheme of things, yeah. I turned 45 in September.

I can fight. But as age comes my way I am only real good for about a minute in a straight up FTF hands on situation. Granted I am pretty good in that short time span then I will need a break..... so in this I have concentrated on a 1911 as a bludgeon. It seems to work pretty well in close quarters. And I can use it as designed.
But like you I am really good at building /fixing/modifying so yeah, I am with you here. Sucks when the SRHTF and you are possibly past the point where you can seriously enjoy it.....

Have you considered a position as the burger flipper/lookout at the diner that doubles as the gang's hideout?
I have. Like the well armed bar tender in the old west flicks.
Just don't be surly. Nobody likes a surly bartender.
