I was told early in my military career, that if you underestimate your enemy, chances of survival or winning in combat will be greatly minimized. Whenever I have been in any conflict whether militarily or on the civil side, I look at the worst case scenerio and determine my reaction with that in my mind. However, I have noticed in the civilian sector, most people do not do that. If this situation should ever come to a head, I will be prepared, however I doubt that they would.

Reference concealed weapons. It is illegal to carry a firearm here while bow hunting. But, I always have one reasonably accessable.

Reference cell phone: One of the first things I did when I purchased this place was add a speed dial for the local law enforcement and the DNR officer. I would recommend everyone do this. I put the speed dial number 7 for the Sheriff and 3 for DNR. 1 is for In Case Of Emergency, 2 is the wife, 4 my daughter, 5 my son, and 6,8, and 9 are my aunts (only one's left from that generation).
