I have nothing but my rage - my pure unalloyed rage! GRRRR!
I would have the courage of my convictions, if I'd ever been convicted...

Im in bed with two adult cats on my feet - I would throw them - Who is going to mess with 40 claws thats been burying some nasty kibble turds in there litter tray - for back up there's 3 more downstairs then the all black German sherpherd called Rommel - In Canada we have to be creative our government wont trust the people to actually own firearms!

Cummon i bet nobody thought about throwing a pissed pussy in your face eh :lol:

Several knives, throwing spikes, hatchet, tomahawk...that's about it, and I'm not great at hand to hand combat (but I can blind you at 20 ft with those spikes :twisted:

) but let's hope hubby is home too :lol:

Another reason (in case I didn't have enough already) to get those guns soon!

by **ZombieGranny** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 9:08 am

All RIGHT!
Another thrower!
Welcome!
-
I have the same things as earlier, but I will have to stand up for the knives not on my person.
Can't leave them down & loose with the little'un around.

Oh wait, the extremely sharp scissors are new.
I had no idea scissors ever came that sharp.

Right now is the perfect subject for a thread.

I am presently at my restaurant which is located on a University campus, so I have an ample supply of very effective hand to hand weaponry in the form of various knives. I also have my 4 wheel drive suburban located very close to the exit, so I would be able to load out either immediately or after bugging in for a short time.

Another very interesting thing about my locale would be that on campus is the police college and the campus security office. The university is also a location that would be very easy to fortify areas so as to be able to bug in as there are metal plate drop down doors which can be lowered into position and then locked into place.

The university is also located on the border of our city so getting out would be a very simple matter of 2 minutes drive. The one major complication however would be my wife and kids. Dependant upon the scenario that is taking place it might or might not be possible to get a message through to my wife to get my kids from school. I am pretty certain that I would most definitely arm up and head to my kids school which is a 5 minute drive at 50 kliks and then a 7 minute drive at 70 kliks to my daughters high school. Both of which are situated on the outskirts of our town which would be a bonus versus congestion.

I will say this as well, considering my military training I would have little to no hesitation to flip the killswitch if I encountered someone who has passed to zombification. It would also depend upon what kind of zombie we are looking at as to whether or not I would engage. This goes for anyone from stranger to immediate family member. I have often shook my head at how people in the movies are hesitant to dispatch a family member who is quite obviously no longer a normal human being.

There are also more than a few stores within 2-5 minutes which would make it possible to procur weaponry and other goods, yet, this also depends on the severity of how things go down. I am confident that I would be more than able to withstand the initial onlslaught and be able to procur better weaponry within the next few days from scavenging.

Also thought I would post this for yall to look at as well.

The INCH bug out rickshaw . 1300 miles with minimum of support in the early 1800s . Still when they got to their destination they had plenty of help so Id say that was the key .
